After 2 Series and a 1995 USA Defender, I knew what it would take to create my Dream Rover. This is it. She is a 1986, ex-MOD with a conversion to an early 1990's Discovery 300Tdi motor. She has the T-177 transmission that shifts smoothly and has been known to run at 85 mph all day long. It isn't much fun, but it can be done. The color is a lovely light green that is very distinctive. The body is dry and rot free as is the frame. There is a minor age issue with some patchwork done to the driver's floor in the past that has been recently addressed. The motor has excellent power, the transmission shifts smoothly and it is as dry as an ex-MOD will likely keep its occupants. I have installed solar blanket in the area above the front seats to cut down on heat and it works pretty well (even in the South Florida Summer heat) To this wonderful vehicle, I added all weather mats, an XM radio receiver Alpine deck in a Tuffy box and a set of MB Quart marine 6x9 speakers enclosed in Tuffy enclosures in the rear. Also in the Tuffy box, I have installed a 3 plug inverter to satisfy all ac power needs that might arise on an adventure. I have exchanged the modern plastic turn signals in front for the screw-on MOD units at remarkable expense, and also added fog lamps. The seats are all in good condition with the rear bench pads only suffering from staining. One bench's back pad has a tear to which I have not attended but does not prevent comfortable use. The top is in excellent shape with one small tear in a flap over the driver's door. All the window plastic is clear and with only minimal abrasion. Because it is a Florida vehicle that I like to drive barefoot, I purchased Bentley-grade sheepskin floor mats that were custom made in the UK for this D90. In as few words as possible, if you really want the perfect Defender with just enough stuff to make it livable and enjoyable without losing the rugged appeal that is the reason for D90s appearing on so many magazine and catalog covers then this is your new truck. It is not inexpensive nor should it be, this vehicle has all the right elements, all the right mod-cons (even AC, which I never considered, can be affixed given the Disco motor) and the perfect vintage look. Feel free to ask questions. I am happy to assist in shipping to the extent that I am able. The VIN number is SALLDVAC7AA269353 but the little ebay box does not like that number.

Thanks for looking.

Jaguar Land Rover output at two UK plants hit by chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

LONDON — Output at two of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) British car factories will be temporarily halted from Monday, due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption, including a lack of semi-conductors, the firm said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating aÂ limited period of non-productionÂ from Monday 26thÂ April," the Tata Motors-owned company said. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up demand for semiconductor chips for use in electronics like computers, as people worked from home, and suppliers are struggling to adjust, hitting output at many automakers. Trade flows have also been affected. On Wednesday, carmaker Stellantis said it would replace digital speedometers with more old-fashioned analogue ones in one of its Peugeot models, as the fallout continues. Renault's finance chief said on Thursday that car production fell by tens of thousands of vehicles in the first quarter as a result of the shortage. Output at JLR's third British car factory in Solihull, central England, will continue, the company said. "We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimize the impact on customer orders wherever possible." Â

2016 Jaguar F-Type R at Monticello | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 27 2016

This week we indulged in a bit of fun. We took one of our favorite sports cars, the 2016 Jaguar F-Type to Monticello Motor Club north of New York. Senior Editor Greg Migliore selected the 550-horsepower R variant and pushed this Jag to the limit at one of North America's prettiest tracks. He reveled in the supercharged V8's power and sound as he embraced Monticello's curves and long straightaways. Meanwhile, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski had a similar experience. Kind of. He lapped Monticello in the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR and then went off-roading at a challenging course nearby. It's the best of both worlds. He gets to soak in the blown V8 – but also gets to splatter a little mud. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play.

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now

Mon, Jun 22 2015

"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
