1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.0l Automatic on 2040-cars
Monument, Colorado, United States
1997 Land Rover Defender 90 - 4.0 Liter V8 Automatic 68,000 miles (mileage is actual at 67,950 currently but i will continue to drive until sold)
I purchased this beast about 3 months ago and have always wanted one and frankly don't want to get rid of it but we need something a tad bigger for somethings that have transpired. This is not a distress sale and I would love to keep it but hard to justify having a $50k SUV as a 3rd car...I could justify it but my finance director says no! :)...With this said, the vehicle is great around town and highway driving. Will run down the highway at 90 and will go anywhere! Full time 4WD and locking diff affords the new owner with pulling a house down or going just about anywhere. I have only put about 2000 miles on it and I believe I am the 3rd owner (pretty sure from what I found). Any puddles you see in pics are from me washing prior to picture taking. Few leaks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary for this vehicle. Replaced the front steering damper when I purchased because the steering was a bit sloppy and had a compete run through performed. Had an oil change completed and went on my way. It does have about a 3 inch crack in windshield and with a full price purchase I will replace windshield...love Colorado weather! This is not a concours Defender but it IS an everyday get in and drive it vehicle that will turn heads anywhere you go. So, with that said this is a dying bread of vehicle. Only about 5000 have survived their import into the states between 94, 95 and 97! And, the new Land Rover has announced that after 2015 the Defender 90 will NO longer be produced. Items that differentiate this Defender from the others around: -Factory installed removable hard top - These tops were installed when the Rover hit port. Came over as a soft top and hit the market as a removable hard top -Rovers North soft top ($2199) -Factory air conditioning -Heated seats -Kenwood stereo w/ bluetooth and ipod usb connection -Rear bench seat -Biometric safe bolted in -Front large Hella driving lights -Rear utility lights -Extra wheel caps -BF Goodrich with 85-90% left SHIPPING WILL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER. I will make every effort to coordinate with the pickup provider. For reference I did finance the vehicle but my local credit union has assured me that they can turnaround the title upon the check/money clearing. With this said if you are looking to finance look to your local credit union they were great to work with and valued the vehicle appropriately to be able to finance. If you are local or want to come see it before you buy it...email me and I will be glad to show it. I am willing to discuss the price for reasonable fair offers. I have priced it fair and reasonable and would expect your offer to be the same. Thank you for looking and I will not deal overseas nor for your son who is on a oil rig in Dubai...no misleading here and I will expect the same from who I do business with as well. Let me know if you have any questions. Joe |

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]
Mon, Jan 5 2015A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
