1997 Land Rover Defender 90 #015 on 2040-cars
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, United States
|
For sale is my 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top #015. Always dealer serviced and maintained, this truck has had no expense spared. In preparation for sale my truck recently underwent a full inspection at a Land Rover dealership for anything that needed attention. Over $8,000 in service was just preformed last week to ensure that any known issues were fixed. Recently this included all new rotors, calipers, brake pads, bushings, exhaust, engine tune-up, wheel balancing, fluids changed and rust inhibitor undercoating. Service has always been done before the scheduled maintenance date and the vehicle has been worked on only be Land Rover certified technicians.
This is a summer vehicle and has always been stored indoors for winter. Unfortunately, this is also the reason for selling. I recently purchased a '67 Series IIA and will be driving that as my summer cruiser. This Defender is too nice to be out on the roads during a Michigan winter, especially with all the salt and potholes. I purchased this truck approximately two years ago from a Land Rover dealership in Dallas, TX. The truck was bone stock then and purchased with 64,000 miles on the clock. Over these two summers I've put almost 16,000 miles on her and upgraded many things including: Mantec bumper with 12k lb. winch (never used, still needs to be wired), Hella Rallye 3000 lights, skid plate, Boost alloy wheels powdercoated black, Safety Devices roof rack, Pioneer Nav system with reverse camera and custom MUD UK dash, and of course little bits like heated seats, upgraded sound system, USB charger, mud flaps, side steps rear dog cage, etc... Included in the sale are the 5 original NAS rims that came with the vehicle. They are in near perfect shape however I didn't prefer the look. Seats are in perfect shape with no rips or tears. There is a small dent on the passenger side wing from the ONE time I took it "off road". Jeesh! Also some very slight rust starting to appear under the air intake bonnet flap. Was planning on having both of these issues addressed as soon as warmer weather approached. I'm sure that I am forgetting a lot of things about the truck and will try and answer any questions possible. I tried to keep this truck as authentic "Land Rover-ish" looking as possible. The roof rack took over 6 months to find as did the Boost alloy wheels. The front winch bumper is Mantec, however it resembles the stock Defender bumper very well. New old stock Hella Rallye 3000 fog lights were found and installed with a genuine Defender operation switch. For summer camping I have a Tepui roof top tent that I've used in conduction with this truck. It's only been used a few times and includes the additional annex and awning. Makes for an amazing camping setup. I'll attach pictures of it installed on my GTI for reference. This tent and all of its components will be included in the sale for the "buy it now" price. I really really hate to see this truck go and have struggled with the thought of selling it for a while. It doesn't get the use that it should and as I have a new family member (the '67 IIA), I just don't have the time for two. I will be driving this truck for a little while before I say goodbye, so mileage might change slightly. REVISED: Speedo is in MPH and odo is in KM. Entries in title or service records (i.e. CARFAX or Land Rover service database) will reflect the odo number in miles when its actually kilometers, so you'll need to convert for true mileage. |

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit
Fri, Jan 29 2021BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
