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!!

Jaguar Land Rover gives Lyft $25M and a fleet of cars

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Lyft recently raised $600 million in a massive funding round, and now we know that $25 million of that came from Jaguar Land Rover, via its mobility services subsidiary InMotion. The car maker's investment in Lyft goes beyond just funds, however; it's providing Lyft drivers with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles as part of the tie-up, and it's also going to work with the ride-hailing tech company on autonomous vehicle testing. This is yet another high-profile partner for Lyft after a spate of recent new collaborators, including Waymo and, just last week, Nutonomy. Now, Jaguar Land Rover is also joining the company's Open Platform for autonomous cars: The collaboration with InMotion will see the Jaguar Land Rover-owned company "develop and test its mobility services, including autonomous vehicles" using Lyft's platform. Lyft's ability to rapidly bring on a lot of partners in the car maker space, specifically around autonomy, may have a lot to do with rival Uber's ongoing problems, which now also include mounting calls for CEO Travis Kalanick to step back, at least temporarily, from his leadership role. Lyft has also been pretty clear about seeking to partner on autonomy, rather than pursue its own tech, which is likewise different from Uber's current approach. Uber, too, has brought automakers to the table around self-driving services and making use of its ride hailing platform for mobility service offerings. Both Uber and Lyft seem interested in being the layer that connects riders and these future services, and for automakers, it means leaving a complex and challenging part of the picture to partners with experience and expertise, rather than having to spin up that part of the tech business themselves. The fleet provision in the deal is also interesting, and suggests the partnership between the two could involve more strategic cooperative service offerings ahead of the advent of commercial self-driving tech. Lyft gaining more ground among automakers beyond longtime partner GM also explains why it was reported that the ride hailing company turned down overtures regarding a potential acquisition by the Detroit-based automaker.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunch.Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover exploring 3D HUD and infotainment projections

Wed, Aug 21 2019

With its most recent technology research, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is exploring the use of 3D projections for a world before and/or after autonomous vehicles come to fruition. In collaboration with the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge, JLR has developed concepts for a 3D head-up display that shows information on the road ahead and a system that projects personalized 3D infotainment for vehicle passengers.  As of right now, hundreds of production vehicles are equipped with two-dimensional head-up displays, some color, others black and white. Using various techniques and different technologies, manufacturers display information in a flat image in front of a driver. Some might find it distracting or unhelpful to have this in the driver's line of sight, and JLR might have found a solution. Rather than wedge the information in between the person and the view ahead, a 3D system that uses augmented reality could display the info onto the road in front of the driver. JLR thinks the system could project navigation directions, safety alerts such as lane departure, hazard detection or other bits typically found in a car's infotainment or instrument cluster. Some might find this to be even more distracting that 2D head-up displays, but to each his or her own. While the 3D head-up display is something that could be used right now, if it were released and passed legal, part two of JLR's 3D technology research is imagined for a life where truly autonomous vehicles are skating across the country. Using head- and eye-tracking technology, the system could lock into the position of numerous people in a vehicle and give each of them a personalized 3D projection "screen." This could be used to track a trip, look up points of interest, or even watch movies. JLR points out this could be used during ride-sharing without bothering others in the vehicle. The work with the Center for Advanced Photonics and Electronics at Cambridge is still in development for now, but it's only a matter of time before 3D tech makes it into cars in some degree.
