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 opens first overseas factory in China

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.

Jaguar F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show

Mon, Mar 26 2018

It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
