San Francisco, California, United States

Selling for no reserve… Meet Big Red 1997 Defender 90 NAS soft top #1232 finished in rare Monza Red. Only 180 models were offered in this amazing color. Highly desirable last year Defender 90 automatic transmission, factory 4.0 V8 and factory AC. See the actual factory window sticker in the pics below. Originally delivered from the Land Rover factory to Fields Motors Cars of FL, Inc. in Longwood, FL. Then sold and shipped to California. She has lived a great life in Southern and Northern California. First sold and owned to an IT professional in Glendale, California until 2005 and subsequently owned San Francisco, California. Car is currently garaged in San Francisco. Chassis and body is free from rust or rot. The car was very well maintained throughout its history. See many pics below. May take a moment to load. Over 100 photos. First thing you take notice of is Big Reds stance as she stands tall and proud with her suspension lift. The brand spanking new BF Goodrich MT 33” tires with white letters complement her look. I decided to leave the blue letter dye on temporarily to really emphasize how new they really are. Freshly installed last week. Secondly the factory Land Rover hardtop is a great add on that is very tough to find these days. Its been part of the reason for keeping the elements out of the interior of this Defender. Another really useful feature that is a must when off roading is the ARB front bumper with Warn 8k lb high performance winch. Off road lamps will help light the path should you wish to wheel at night. One should never go wheeling without the proper accessories and this one has it all. Big Red is equipped with ARB lockers for front and rear and air compressor. ARB rocker switches centrally located on the dash. Also, there are rock sliders/running boards to help you enter into the cabin. On board CB radio will help you to communicate with other fellow drivers on your next group ride. Defenderistas that have been waiting for a clean California rust free Monza Red should be excited to finally meet Big Red. Her typically rust prone areas are squeaky clean and awesome. Found it easier to give condition breakdowns below. Exterior condition: No rusty bulkhead, No rusty cross member, No rust door bottoms, No rust floors, No rusty tailgate. No rust on frame. No rusty hinges. None None None! Paint is very good but has some oxidation on tops of front fenders- see pics. Easy repairable by doing a re-spray of fenders or installing some metal step plates that would cover the oxidation. The body panels still have original weld stamps markings. Factory hardtop has some cracks at seams from removing and re installing. Fiberglass patches were performed to preserve the top and keep water out. Interior condition: Original seats are original and in great shape. Rear bench seat very good. Rubber original Land Rover Floor mat is very good. Just had the armrest recovered with custom padding and stitching for comfortable arm resting :) New rubber oem Land Rover floor mats. Mechanical condition: All work performed Jan 2014 with records. Complete valve job and resurface head. New head gasket set and bolts New hydraulic lifters New Radiator oem $800 New fuel pump and fuel filter New high performance tune up kit (plugs, wires, etc) New thermostat New water pump New rear brakes New tires BFG Mud Terrain T/A 285/75/16 Defects/cosmetic issues: Odometer reads 32,864 currently. The Carfax history does show that car has a mileage inconsistency. Many defenders have been plagued with odometer failures and thus causing the odometers stop and required replacement to repair the broken odo. I believe this to be the case with this Defender as this is what was explained to me by previous owner. Car has been stored for the past 6 years and not driven. The Carfax report reads the miles on 7/2008 at 31,240. The odometer is currently operating and functional. Today reads 32,864. Gear shifter plastic slider trim broken, passenger front door has dent at top of door, AC not working, radio turns on/off intermittently. Closing Big Red is a real pleasure to drive. She starts right up and runs excellent and strong. The transmission shifts smooth and crisp. The car is very presentable and would be a perfect car to drive daily or restore to top notch condition. The body is rust free and hard to find that on a Defender 90. Clean title in hand. Please email for more info. |

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The 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.
Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
