Stuttgart, Germany. A dozen years ago at least. I saw my first Land Rover Defender. Fell in love with a car for the first time. And I just had to have one. Two years later, a newly-commissioned lieutenant in the Marines, I bought a 1974 Land Rover III Series. I only owned it a year before selling it and buying a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90. It was the beginning of a romance with Rovers. Freetown, Sierra Leone. A decade later. I was attached to the British Army and was given a Land Rover Defender 110 to drive for the year I was there. I found myself back in Germany after that. Bought a 1991 Land Rover Defender 90, which I still own. Through the years, these rugged trucks have seen me through sand and mud, snow and rock. And they never quit. The name is synonymous with off-roading. The Land Rover has conquered every continent--mostly off the beaten track. I knew I would always own one--and I thought the Defender 90 was the last one. And then, along came Surus. Named after Hannibal's mythical one-tusked white Asian elephant, Surus is a 1984 Land Rover One Ten. My wife discovered it online, a low-miles vintage truck that looked poised to take overland. Originally purchased by a rescue swimmer club, Surus ended up in the hands of a wonderful old couple in Lincolnshire, England. They used it on weekends to ferry their grandchildren around the countryside. We brought it over last year and registered it here in the US. Though the steering is on the right-hand side, it has been easy cruising around the American highways and bi-ways. With a 5-speed transmission, it easily handles sustained speeds of 70-75 miles per hour. On average, we get about 15 miles per gallon (with about 18 on the highway). We added a forward-facing rear seat for our children. But we left the last row of inward-facing bench seats as well--so the truck seats nine in total. It's a wonderful old classic. But, we are moving our family overseas and can't afford to take Surus with us. I'm sure we'll own another 110 someday. And I'm sure Surus will find a good home--maybe yours. 1984 Land Rover One Ten (SALLDHAH7AA198451)

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
