I am a Land Rover enthusiast and collector, this is one of two older Defenders I had rebuilt in the UK using ROW (Rest of the World) spec Defenders as parts vehicles. I have driven my other one as my daily driver and expedition vehicle for six years and it has never failed me. This low mileage  beauty I am offering for sale has been stored in my garage, taken to a few shows and generally just run every few months. 

I started with a 1983 110 and refurbished it using a complete ROW Spec Defender that I found that had been unloved in a Ministry of Defence warehouse for a couple of years.

So this is about as stock as you will ever come by and built using all new take-off parts with only 3,124 miles on the donor vehicle.

The spec's are:

Galvanized Chassis
300TDi non-electronic
R380 5-speed Transmission
10 passenger seating
Air Conditioning
Side and Rear Entry Steps
Front Steering Guard
AM/FM/Casssette Stereo

The vehicle is located in Vancouver, BC and registered in British Columbia.

This configuration is considered by many to be the Best Defender ever built. It will only appreciate in value and I am selling it because it deserves to be used and is surplus to my requirements.

Should you want to accessorize the vehicles I have an A-bar, roof rack, light guards, etc. I even a set of new Melvill and Moon Canvas Seat Covers available for sale.

The last picture is of my daily driver which has taken me through Western Canada, the Western US, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.  It is virtually the same vehicle without the expedition gear.

I would be happy to assist in shipping if required.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Jaguar XE to be built in China

Mon, Dec 29 2014

After a six-year absence, the Jaguar XE will return that most English of automotive companies to the compact premium segment, the brand's first whole-hearted launch into that market. For certain Western markets it begins production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull early next year, but it will also continue the brand's venture in to China having been chosen as the first Jaguar to be built there, according to a report in Automotive News. Jaguar-Land Rover owns a plant in Changshu, a joint venture with Chery Automobile, that started building the Range Rover Evoque this year and will add the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Previously, The Leaping Cat was selling cars built from kits at its factory in Pune, India. The brand figures to sell 20,000 cars in China next year, which would be less than a fifth of in-country sales for the JLR group, but the XE is the "spearhead vehicle" that "could make significant inroads" there, according to Jaguar. For comparison, Audi moved 120,450 A4s alone and BMW sold more than 100,000 3 Series models in China in 2013. Globally, Jaguar is predicted to sell 80,000 units this year. By 2017, after the release of the XE, new XF and coming crossover, plus factory expansions in China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, it hopes to get that number up to 200,000 units; Forbes has a piece detailing why they think it's possible. The JLR group is shooting for a target of 850,000 units worldwide by 2020.

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007

Thu, Oct 29 2015

James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:
