This vehicle is in excellent original military condition, and served with the Regiment that mans the guns at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland.

A soft top with roll cage, and tailgate are fitted. The vehicle also comes with the original military updated trim on the interior. Conversion to LHD is also possible here in the USA.

VIN: SALLDVAC7AAxxxxxx

This British Army Land Rover Defender 90 is exceptional. It served 26 years and was serviced meticulously. All the panels are like new, the paint is original Land Rover military green. The interior is the latest military upgrade to these trucks, seats covered with Outlast (Exmoor trim) fabric for durability and use in hot and extreme climates. In the back, bench seats with fully retractable seat belts provide seating for four. The tailgate has the original digging tools fitted.

The engine is the original heavy duty British Army diesel, with a design that has been tested in an arduous 500hour durability test. The truck odometer shows just over 22,000 km, confirmed on the military retirement certificate. The odometer was changed at 10999 km so the total vehicle mileage is likely to be more.

The vehicle is in Virginia Beach with full clear Virginia title and all customs paperwork appropriately stamped during its import process. The Defender has a VA state inspection, is exempt EPA emissions testing, and as it is older than 25 years old, exempt from DOT regulations as an antique.

The truck is totally stock military spec and drives very well. All seals and the drive train have been inspected, and timing belt changed. It has Land Rover power assisted steering fitted.

This Land Rover Defender 90 served with 105 Regt RA (V) for 26 years, eventually retiring from the British Army at the end of 2012.

The regiment commemorated the 61st anniversary of Her Majesty The Queen's accession to the throne at Edinburgh Castle.

In Scotland, 7 Feb 2013, gunners from 105 Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers) fired a 21-gun royal salute at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland.

Commanding Officer of 105 Regiment Royal Artillery, Lieutenant Colonel James Cook, said:

“The regiment is honoured to fire the royal salute at Edinburgh Castle to commemorate the accession of Her Majesty The Queen.

The royal salute provides a great occasion for the gunners to display their professionalism and pride in conducting such an honour in Scotland’s capital city.”

Jaguar 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."
