I am a Land Rover enthusiast and collector, this is one of two older Defenders I had rebuilt in the UK using ROW (Rest of the World) spec Defenders as parts vehicles. I have driven my other one as my daily driver and expedition vehicle for six years and it has never failed me. This low mileage  beauty I am offering for sale has been stored in my garage, taken to a few shows and generally just run every few months. 

I started with a 1983 110 and refurbished it using a complete ROW Spec Defender that I found that had been unloved in a Ministry of Defence warehouse for a couple of years.

So this is about as stock as you will ever come by and built using all new take-off parts with only 3,124 miles on the donor vehicle.

The spec's are:

Galvanized Chassis
300TDi non-electronic
R380 5-speed Transmission
10 passenger seating
Air Conditioning
Side and Rear Entry Steps
Front Steering Guard
AM/FM/Casssette Stereo

The vehicle is located in Vancouver, BC and registered in British Columbia.

This configuration is considered by many to be the Best Defender ever built. It will only appreciate in value and I am selling it because it deserves to be used and is surplus to my requirements.

Should you want to accessorize the vehicles I have an A-bar, roof rack, light guards, etc. I even a set of new Melvill and Moon Canvas Seat Covers available for sale.

The last picture is of my daily driver which has taken me through Western Canada, the Western US, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.  It is virtually the same vehicle without the expedition gear.

I would be happy to assist in shipping if required.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.
