1994 NAS Land Rover Defender 90

3.9 ltr. fuel injected aluminum V8 with upgraded Mallory ignition

5 speed R380 transmission

LT230 high/low transfer case with diff lock

5- 285/75/16 BF Goodrich all terrain tires with about 75% tread left

1.5” spring lift with OME shocks 

    This is a very nice, non rusty, dry climate, low mileage Defender. As you can see from the pictures, it comes with a full top as well as a bikini top and tonneau cover set up giving you several options.

    I know its hard to inspect a vehicle from an Ebay ad so I’ll try to be as thorough as possible here. It has a rebuilt title because, as I heard it, the body panels were vandalized with a claw hammer and the seats were sliced by a disgruntled ex. It was all repaired including a new body panel on the left rear of the tub, right rear of tub was repaired, bonnet (hood) was repaired, doors were both replaced with brand new, wings (front fenders) were replaced with good used ones and of course the entire truck has been repainted. The seats were replaced as well.

     It drives nice and straight on the highway and has plenty of power. It shifts good too although if you try to go from 1st to 2nd gear too fast you’ll get a slight gear meshing sound. Its fine if you don’t try to shift like you’re in a race car. I use Redline MTL transmission fluid in the transmission. The interior is real nice although there are a few cracks in the 20 year old plastic parts here and there which have been repaired. The air conditioning works great. It has 2 new a/c vents and the brake and clutch pedal pads are new. Has a CD player/radio, tuffy lock box and new waterproof marine grade speakers. The fully enclosed top is very usable although it is 20 years old and doesn’t seal around the doors all that great and has a few tiny spots that a starting to tear a bit. The soft top attaches to the tub via the improved belt rail system like on a 95 or 97 instead of the snaps that came on a 94. The rear lights and side marker lights have been upgraded to the 95/97 style as well. It has brand new front brake pads. It also has a brand new 4 pin tail light converter hooked up for trailer lights although I’ve never actually towed with it.  It's not a perfect D90, but it is really really nice.

    Feel free to ask more questions if there’s anything I haven't addressed here. I encourage and welcome you to come inspect the truck in person if you are able to. I'll be happy to coordinate my schedule to meet any vehicle transport servicer that you arrange to pick up the vehicle if needed.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.

Jaguar Land Rover undergoes $3.2 billion turnaround plan as sales slump

Thu, Nov 1 2018

MUMBAI — India's Tata Motors on Wednesday announced a turnaround plan for its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover, which has been hit hard by trade tensions between China and the U.S., low demand for diesel cars in Europe and worries over Brexit. Under "Project Charge," Tata Motors said it plans to cut costs and improve cash flows at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) over 18 months. JLR also plans to launch several new vehicles, including the Jaguar I-Pace and the new Range Rover Defender over the next few years and will offer a hybrid or full-electric version of all its models by 2020. "Together with our ongoing product offensive and calibrated investment plans, these efforts will lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth," JLR CEO Ralf Speth said after Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss. JLR has trimmed its pre-tax profit expectations for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and expects to break even, Speth said, versus an earlier target of profit growth. As part of the turnaround plan, JLR will first focus on cash-saving "quick wins" like reducing non-product investments and speeding up asset sales, Tata Motors said in an investor presentation. In the near term it will improve efficiency in areas including purchasing and material cost, manufacturing, logistics and people, and will focus on strategic and non-core asset sales. JLR has already reduced the number of production days at its UK plants in Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company said in its presentation it has saved 300 million pounds since it initiated the turnaround plan six weeks ago and is working on 500 ideas for the future. Tata Motors reported a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.9 million) for the July-September quarter, compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period. That was worse than the estimate of a loss of 2.40 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data. JLR reported a loss of 101 million pounds during the quarter and its margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 130 basis points to 9.9 percent. Retail sales of its Jaguar sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) fell 13.2 percent to about 130,000 units, hurt particularly by tariff changes in China and escalating trade tensions. Demand in China remained muted even after the country cut import tariffs for cars and car parts to 15 percent for most vehicles from 25 percent from July.
