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. |

Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection
Mon, Feb 19 2018A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.
Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830
Fri, May 3 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
