This is an extremely rare and unique Land Rover Defender 110.  An absolutely beautiful design, restoration and rebuild of the most iconic 4x4 in history, this 1995 Defender has been designed to replicate the current models sold in other areas of the world today, plus a number of custom upgrades all completed by Defender specialists in the UK before being shipped to Canada. 

This is a one of a kind version of the world’s toughest 4x4 combined with the creature comforts of a city driver, all wrapped with a look and feel that turns heads and gets continuous attention, thumbs up, wide eyes, and drueling. Many enthusiasts have said this is the most beautiful Defender they have ever seen. 

Exterior upgrades include Land Rover’s Bonatti Grey Metallic paint with Black Roof, black diamond plate trims and 17” black alloy wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 BFG All-Terrain tires for a perfect stance and great performance.  Other exterior upgrades include: 

  • -       New puma style hood
  • -       Aftermarket KBX grille and headlight surrounds
  • -       LED clear lens kit front and rear
  • -       Black tube side steps
  • -       All new rear windows and seals
  • -       New front windshield and seal
  • -       All new door seals and bushings
  • -       Stainless Steel bolt kit throughout
  • -       Tinted windows in rear

The interior was completely stripped for paint and rebuilt with all new parts, including:

  • -       New black half Leather high back front seats
  • -       New center console
  • -       New black half Leather rear bench style seat
  • -       New center dash option to house stereo and controls (consistent with newer models)
  • -       New black carpet kit throughout
  • -       Soundproofing kit
  • -       All interior paneling and dash painted black
  • -       Leather wrapped door cards with white stitching, shifter boot and dash trim to match stitching of leather seats
  • -       New Sony CD/MP3/USB stereo with 4 speakers
  • -       Black rubber floor mats for all weather
  • -       New white headliner and additional accessory lights in cargo area 

Mechanically the truck runs on a 300tdi 4-cylinder diesel motor that is known to be one of Land Rover’s most durable engines.  The original motor has 260,000 kms on it before the full spec below.  A thorough mechanical inspection was completed and all worn mechanical parts were replaced, including:

  • -       New disc brake rotors and pads front and rear
  • -       New shocks and springs front and rear
  • -       Exhaust manifold gasket
  • -       Full engine service including gaskets, filters, seals, spill pipes
  • -       Timing belt and tensioners
  • -       Many bushings and bearings throughout
  • -       Exhaust center and aft sections
  • -       Steering dampers
  • -       Much more… 

These motors have been consistently known to go 300,000 miles (approx. 500,000 kms) before needing a rebuild so she’ll be a reliable pusher for years to come.

If you’re after one of North America’s most rare and sought after vehicles this Defender 110 is right up your alley!  She is unlike anything you’ll see driving the streets and is one very special vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition.

I am willing to help coordinate shipping at the buyers expense across Canada.  This vehicle is not admissible to the United States as it does not meet the age requirement (25 years old) to import.

Price Reduced. Must Sell, bought a house.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper

Mon, May 7 2018

During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.

Jaguar Land Rover reveals EV concepts, details green strategy

Fri, Sep 11 2015

While it offers diesel models and even a couple hybrids, Jaguar Land Rover isn't quite as fleshed out on alternative powertrains as its luxurious German rivals. That should change pretty soon. JLR revealed three concepts at the CENEX Low Carbon Vehicle event in Millbrook, England, today. The Concept_e "research demonstrators" all use a new electric drive module, an EV system that the Indian-owned, British-based outfit claims will double the power and torque of today' electric motors. JLR says these modular EDMs can be paired with any of the company's engines or transmissions to create either a mild hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a pure EV. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. Arguably the most exciting offering is a one-of-a-kind research vehicle. Riding on JLR's aluminium aluminum architecture, it ties together two electric motors – an 85-kW unit with a single-speed trans on the front axle and a 145-kW rear motor that's been mated to a two-speed transmission – with a 70-kWh li-ion battery that's mounted in the underbody of the car. There's also the Concept_e MHEV. This is a Range Rover Evoque that's been fitted with a mild hybrid system. Just a refresher, but a mild hybrid is very different than what's found in either a Chevrolet Volt or Toyota Prius, as it uses the electric motor and battery pack to simply assist the internal combustion engine, rather than for an electric driving mode. Reflecting that use, this particular Evoque uses a 15-kilowatt electric motor and a 48-volt, lithium-ion battery pack alongside a 90-metric-horsepower diesel-powered prototype. Finally, we have a Range Rover Sport-based plug-in hybrid. This brute uses a 300-metric-horsepower prototype gas engine and an eight-speed automatic alongside a 150-kilowatt electric motor. Energy is stored in a trunk-mounted, 320-volt, li-ion battery back. Partially funded by the British government, the EDMs are the result of a 16.3-million-pound ($25-million) research-and-development program. They're built in house by JLR, but were developed alongside 12 partners. While these concepts are exciting, don't get your hopes up to see a plug-in Jaguar XF or an all-electric Discovery Sport in your local dealer any time soon. "This is a long-term Jaguar Land Rover research project exploring all aspects of future hybrid and battery electric vehicle technology," JLR research and design boss Dr. Wolfgang Epple said in the attached statement.
