This is an extremely rare and unique Land Rover Defender 110.  An absolutely beautiful design, restoration and rebuild of the most iconic 4x4 in history, this 1995 Defender has been designed to replicate the current models sold in other areas of the world today, plus a number of custom upgrades all completed by Defender specialists in the UK before being shipped to Canada. 

This is a one of a kind version of the world’s toughest 4x4 combined with the creature comforts of a city driver, all wrapped with a look and feel that turns heads and gets continuous attention, thumbs up, wide eyes, and drueling. Many enthusiasts have said this is the most beautiful Defender they have ever seen. 

Exterior upgrades include Land Rover’s Bonatti Grey Metallic paint with Black Roof, black diamond plate trims and 17” black alloy wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 BFG All-Terrain tires for a perfect stance and great performance.  Other exterior upgrades include: 

  • -       New puma style hood
  • -       Aftermarket KBX grille and headlight surrounds
  • -       LED clear lens kit front and rear
  • -       Black tube side steps
  • -       All new rear windows and seals
  • -       New front windshield and seal
  • -       All new door seals and bushings
  • -       Stainless Steel bolt kit throughout
  • -       Tinted windows in rear

The interior was completely stripped for paint and rebuilt with all new parts, including:

  • -       New black half Leather high back front seats
  • -       New center console
  • -       New black half Leather rear bench style seat
  • -       New center dash option to house stereo and controls (consistent with newer models)
  • -       New black carpet kit throughout
  • -       Soundproofing kit
  • -       All interior paneling and dash painted black
  • -       Leather wrapped door cards with white stitching, shifter boot and dash trim to match stitching of leather seats
  • -       New Sony CD/MP3/USB stereo with 4 speakers
  • -       Black rubber floor mats for all weather
  • -       New white headliner and additional accessory lights in cargo area 

Mechanically the truck runs on a 300tdi 4-cylinder diesel motor that is known to be one of Land Rover’s most durable engines.  The original motor has 260,000 kms on it before the full spec below.  A thorough mechanical inspection was completed and all worn mechanical parts were replaced, including:

  • -       New disc brake rotors and pads front and rear
  • -       New shocks and springs front and rear
  • -       Exhaust manifold gasket
  • -       Full engine service including gaskets, filters, seals, spill pipes
  • -       Timing belt and tensioners
  • -       Many bushings and bearings throughout
  • -       Exhaust center and aft sections
  • -       Steering dampers
  • -       Much more… 

These motors have been consistently known to go 300,000 miles (approx. 500,000 kms) before needing a rebuild so she’ll be a reliable pusher for years to come.

If you’re after one of North America’s most rare and sought after vehicles this Defender 110 is right up your alley!  She is unlike anything you’ll see driving the streets and is one very special vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition.

I am willing to help coordinate shipping at the buyers expense across Canada.  This vehicle is not admissible to the United States as it does not meet the age requirement (25 years old) to import.

Price Reduced. Must Sell, bought a house.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."

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 appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
