This is a very rare opportunity to own an original UK owned Defender with excellent history documentation and loyal care. I purchased the truck from the previous owner who moved to California just over a year ago from the UK, and brought his Defender Stateside with him. It just had a complete 90k service including a new timing belt as recommended per Land Rover service schedule. The truck is very solid with zero rust causing cancer!! Rear crossmember, bulkhead, and door bottoms in excellent condition- all of which are notorious culprits for the development of rust. The Defender runs excellent,starts first time every time, and gets in excess of 25 mpg consistently!! This is the model that created Land Rover's legendary reputation.
I do have a full rollcage, many various seats, offroad accessories, etc that can be purchased by the new owner should he/she desire.

So, why am I selling? I had purchased the Defender with the anticipation of adding jump seats or a rear bench seat, and using it for family camping trips and such as that- trips to the coast, etc. Top up or down, no worries!! However, we are toting much more equipment than the truck can handle- kayaks, skim boards, surf boards, etc as well as camping equipment for four. The vehicle could easily be modified to carry it all, but the condition of the truck makes it offensive to me to alter it. Originally it was just me and my son, but the wife and daughters love the Defender, as do the dogs, and everyone wants to join the fun. So, we are back to an Excursion, much to our dismay- but fear not, as we are working on a Defender 130 that will accommodate all of us AND our equipment ;-)

Please take a look at all the pictures, as it shows the truck in several configurations- all the same truck, on the same day- yesterday!! It is the epitome of an adult erector set, and consequently can be used year around for nearly any task- and with loads of fun doing them!! Also, the last picture shows a sample of the documentation showing annual milage and inspections from the rigorous MOT in the UK, and last years tax stamps- great documentation!!

I am a certified Land Rover fanatic- just take a look at theRVRbarn for just a few pictures of my previous trucks on the SOLD page. Quite an obsession...

Lastly, please realize this listing is to sell a vehicle. Consequently, your bid is a binding offer to purchase- not take a look/see or test drive. However, should you be so inclined, prebid inspection is certainly permitted and encouraged!! These Defenders are not Escalades- in fact, quite the opposite. But they are legendary for the proper application and personality type who pursues outdoor activities of any type. As such, if you have less than 10 Feedback replies or a Feedback score less than 100%, your bid will be cancelled if you do not contact me prior to bidding. This is a sincere listing, and trust you will treat like wise.

Thanks for looking, and all the best with your bidding!!

Question of the Day: What's the greatest British car ever?

Fri, Jul 15 2016

The British automotive industry has produced everything from high-production econo-commuters to staggeringly luxurious oligarch-wagons, along the way winning plenty of races and building plenty of beautiful machines. The original Mini led directly to the past half-century of transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive cars built everywhere, the MGB put the sporty little convertible into everyone's reach, and the Morris Oxford became the most beloved motor vehicle in India. So many to choose from, but we want you to pick one. What will it be? Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
