This Defender resides with myself here in the UK and has been my daily usage vehicle and over the past 9 months has covered in excess of 7000 faultless miles. We built this Defender as a family truck with no component overlooked. Myself, my wife and our four young children have enjoyed every minute with this beautiful truck and am only selling due to the business lease of a new Defender 110. 

For some reason eBay will not let me upload the 24 pictures... Please drop me a message and I shall send you a whole host more.... This Defender needs to be seen to be appreciated and 12 pictures although selected carefully do this Defender no justice!! Thank you. 

The Defender model is very rare and sought after and this is your chance to own a gorgeous example available for immediate delivery to your closest and chosen port. Delivery is included within the price and we are happy to arrange this for you. We work direct with the very best shipping company and importation agents on both sides of the Atlantic and assure you of a stressful, enjoyable experience with us. The only thing we ask for is patience whilst she sails and you eagerly await delivery. I am personally more than happy to fly out and meet yourself when this defender arrives and talk you through operations and controls being fully familiar with the truck. I am very attached to this specific truck and would love nothing more than to meet you its new owner in person. We have a full UK title in hand ready to make your registration titling process very simple and straight forward. We have full expert and extensive knowledge of US customs and the criteria surrounding the Defender. If you have any anxieties or questions please feel free to call me at any time. We have many more photographs of the truck taken recently and over the past few months on trips, do not hesitate to ask should you require more. I am also more than happy to email you direct with a video of the truck driving and am more than happy to talk you through every aspect of the truck.

This particular Defender has been thoroughly refurbished and rebuilt here in the UK by ourselves using many new parts and accessories and is in excellent condition. The respray has been carried out in Orkney Gray and looks as new as the day it was painted 9 months ago. The chassis is entirely corrosion free and has been treated to a full extensive coating of WaxOyl to protect from corrosion for many years to come. Building this truck as my personal vehicle as ever only the finest available was chosen for the base to which the build began. Please view the pictures in the listing you will see the chassis and the engine bay, we have nothing to hide and are extremely proud of this defender. All of the doors are in excellent corrosion free condition and this particular Defender has the later styled push button doors. 

During the restoration and rebuild of this particular Defender no nut, bolt or component has been overlooked. All components work perfectly and this Defender is ready and willing to perform. Study the pictures, this defender is beautiful and sure to make you very happy as it has done myself.  

As you can see from the pictures this Defender has been fully resprayed both internally and externally in the beautiful metallic Orkney Gray. Once painted and mechanically prepared this Defender has been fitted out with a 9 seat half leather 2005 Defender XS full interior including roof liner and interior trim panels. Please remember this Defender is also fitted with AC which is blowing ice cold having just been re-gassed for the 3 weeks of British summer we have...... Brand new carpets were also fitted and have always had rubber overmats in place to protect them during my use. On the exterior the Defender also has a set of genuine Land Rover FreeStyle Alloy wheels which i had powder coated black. I am a personal fan of the Defender in its natural 'naked' format so to speak but should you wish the exterior to be treated to diamond plate, a KBX premium grill, tubular side steps, roof rack and ladder, additional lighting please do not hesitate to ask, I am more than happy to customize this Defender further for you. Again, Please study the pictures to see exactly what you are getting!! Don't delay, with the demand for Defenders at an all time high this vehicle is extremely rare and will not be around for long. 

Please see our other items for another beautiful looking Defenders.

We have D-110's, D-90's, Gasoline and Diesel, Manual and Auto so if what you see pictured before you isn't to your exact requirements please enquire as to our further inventory and our build to order process!! With prices starting from as little as $35,000.00 and going upwards of $100,000.00 we cater for all budgets and builds.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
