For sale is my NAS Defender 110, #469/500. Alpine white over gray cloth interior. The truck has approximately 7k miles on the odometer. A little history on this truck: #469 has been sold several times now by Copley Motorcars of Needham, MA. The first time they sold the truck was in approximately 2005. At that time it was a clean, lower mileage, stock NAS 110. That owner proceeded to heavily modify the truck. The 3.9 V8 and five speed transmission were removed. In its place was installed a brand new 4.6 V8 with four speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the truck was prepared for off-road use. A heavy-duty ARB bumper was installed with high-lift jack and mounts, as was a Warn 9000 winch, and limb risers. Southdown underbody protection was installed along with rock sliders, and a Mantec snorkel. Other off-road accessories include a Garmin satellite GPS system, CB radio, ARB air compressor (under the passenger seat), and six Hella Rallye lights with rear work light were also installed. Additional upgrades to the interior include full Badger Coachworks seat covers for all seating surfaces. I’m assuming the headliner was replaced as it is in excellent condition. All four doors were replaced and upgraded hinges were installed. The external roll cage and rack were removed and painted black. This owner put approximately 8k miles on the truck and traded it back in to Copley Motorcars. The next owner purchased it from Copley in 2007, parked it in front of his barn, and put 900 miles on it in six years. It was traded back in to Copley and I purchased it in August of this year. As one can imagine, a lot deteriorates when a car is left outside to sit for six years. The paint had turned to chalk, the bulkhead rotted, and the door sills are rough. Surprising, the frame is solid as is the rear cross-member. *HERE IS A LINK TO MANY MORE PICTURES, INCLUDING THE ROUGH SPOTS* What I’ve done: Since I purchased the car, I have thoroughly gone over the vehicle to make it a reliable driver. Initially, I went through the cooling system and replaced the radiator, fan clutch, water pump, and thermostat. The car was then serviced and fluids and filters were changed, and drive belts replaced. The ignition system was gone over and the plugs, cap, rotor, and coil were replaced. Additionally, the throttle position sensor and idle air control valve were replaced. As the car was an automatic conversion, I then performed a procedure to ensure the ECU knew that it now had an automatic installed. The oil cooler lines are new and the fuel level sending unit was replaced. All five tires were just replaced with BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. Additionally, the brakes needed to overhauled. The front pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and lines were replaced. Additionally, the brake booster and master cylinder were replaced as well. At the rear, the wheel cylinders and shoes were replaced. The drums were in good condition. Cosmetically, the car is somewhat challenged. As I mentioned, the upper portion of the bulkhead it shot, and the door sills are rotted. The paint was thoroughly polished and has turned out quite nicely (very good shine, not faded or thin). The floors are good and the frame is solid and in good condition. The paint on the rear cross-member is bad but it is solid as well. The roll cage is rusted where it attaches to the body. I would recommend addressing this when the bulkhead is replaced. Also, some of the body caps are rusted where they run behind the roll cage. The interior is in very good condition. As previously stated, all seating services are covered by Badger Coachworks seat covers. Therefore, the seats are in good shape. The headliner does not have any sag. The dash is in good shape (no splits or cracks). The center console was replaced when the automatic was installed and is therefore in excellent condition. Accessories and gauges: Gauges function except for the fuel gauge. Though I've replaced the fuel level sending unit, the gauge, when the car is running, does not read accurately. However, when the key is turned to the #2 position, the gauge does read properly. Therefore, I've decided not to further pursue this problem. All interior and exterior lighting are functional. The GPS, winch, and ARB compressor are functional. The HVAC system is in good shape. The heat blows hot, air cold, and blower functions on all speeds. The heater control cable is broken. As such, one must manually open or close the valve at the top of the heater box under the hood. Overall, this truck represents a good opportunity to get into exclusive NAS 110 ownership without the six figure price tag. This truck is well sorted and can be used on and off the road reliably, as is. However, if one wanted to invest in the bulkhead, roll cage, door sills, and body cappings, they would have a very high quality truck that would be well worth the improvements, and then some. Your bid is a what you feel comfortable owning this truck for. It is not an opportunity to inspect it. Please do not contact me asking what I will end the auction for. Inspections are welcome prior to auction end. Please make sure all questions are answered satisfactorily prior to bidding. |

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.  Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car
Tue, Sep 26 2017Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand — along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table — maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay — to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
Jaguar Land Rover calling in 100k vehicles in three separate campaigns
Sun, Feb 8 2015Jaguar Land Rover is recalling an estimated 104,114 vehicles in three separate campaigns in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The largest of them affects Range Rovers made between April 15, 2005, and September 4, 2012, covering 74,648 units in America from the 2006 to 2012 model years. In those affected vehicles, the front brake hose could rupture, leaking brake fluid and decreasing the capability of the brakes to, you know... stop the vehicle. In a similar but separate recall, subsequent Range Rovers from the 2013 and 2014 model years (manufactured between August 16, 2012, and January 8, 2014) are also being recalled for a brake issue – this time due to the incorrect routing of the brake vacuum hose. The issue could wear down the hose and disable the power assist, again impeding the brakes from properly functioning. This second recall also affects the 2014 Range Rover Sport (specifically those manufactured between May 7, 2013, and January 8, 2014), affecting 24,679 units between both models across the United States. A third smaller recall concerns the 2012-2015 Jaguar XK – namely those built between March 4, 2011, and March 20, 2014. This campaign involves the front side parking lamps, which might switch off after about five minutes, in contravention of federal standards. As such, an estimated 4,787 units are being called in. In all three cases, owners of the affected vehicles can expect to hear from their local dealer to arrange to bring in their wayward British luxury vehicles to have the relevant issue fixed. RECALL Subject : Front Brake Hose(s) may Rupture Report Receipt Date: JAN 27, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V039000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 74,648 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles manufactured April 15, 2005, to September 4, 2012. One or both of the flexible front brake hoses may rupture causing loss of brake fluid. CONSEQUENCE: If one or both of the flexible brake hoses fails, the vehicle may require a longer distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right front brake hoses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 13, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837.
