Up for sale is is a 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 in excellent condition. The vehicle lived most of its life on a factory lot in England and was used for moving goods around. As a result, it was not exposed to salted roads and has thus stayed in fantastic shape. 

The VIN has an english format. VIN: SALLDVA7AA250487 - B

The vehicle was imported in 2013 from a Land Rover dealer in the UK that had purchased this vehicle from the factory owner. Before importing to the US, the vehicle was expertly repainted by the paint shop of this Land Rover dealer and was repainted in its original color, Stratos Blue. At that point in time, the car received a series of new parts at the request of the current owner. 

-New doors (including rear doors) were installed. 
-New locking mechanisms 
-New suspension coils
-new front lights
-new camel trophy bar guard for front fascia
-new window tracks
-new window regulators

In addition to these parts, the car also had new old stock seats that were installed a year or so before the car was imported. 

The vehicle has 134,900 original miles and a clear title as well.  

In terms of cleanliness of the vehicle, the car looks fantastic. The paint looks excellent, but do note that there are a couple of light scratches to the hood (which can likely be buffed out). The interior is in great shape and dash is to be expected for a defender 90.  

The front fascia and bumpers were also repainted and give the car a powerful stance. The wheels also have fresh paint. 

All lights, buttons, and switches function properly, aside from the clock, which can be ordered easily, but is currently missing. The dash near the cowl also has a crack in it as well. 

The tires are in great shape as well and only have a couple thousand miles on them. 

If you do have any questions about the vehicle, please do let me know. I will try to answer you as quickly and thoroughly as possible. This vehicle is a rare and exceptional example of Chrysler history, with few even similarly comparable examples still around.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers

Tue, 25 Feb 2014


Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
