we did a rare find. The London police department decided to let go of their
beloved Land Rover Defender 110 which was their show vehicle for 27 years. It
was a gift by Land Rover in the late 1980’s to get exposure in the London area.
It was dry stored all the time and serviced by Land Rover specialists which
shows! When we bought
it, it was in an excellent state. No rust at all, very well treated and
serviced. The chassis looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Although it
was in this condition we did a full rebuild on the engine, due to its age. We
gave her new brakes all around, new suspension and shocks and lots of other parts
that showed marks of age. Therefore we can guarantee that she’ll have an
excellent second life in the US. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS (see pictures!!) Engine:
Complete Rebuild, all new or restored parts Brakes: All
new brakes around. Discs, calipers, pads, etc. Suspension: New
spring and new heavy duty shocks all around Drivetrain Oils: All
new. Gearbox, transfer box, axles, diffs, etc. Chassis:
Already in mint condition, see pictures! The Engine The 3.5 V8
engine is a very reliable and easy to maintain engine. It was developed many
years back so when installed in the Defender it was a fully developed and
popular engine. It isn’t the most powerful power source in the world, but it
pulls good and takes you everywhere. We carried out a complete engine overhaul.
All gaskets new, lubricants fresh, sparkplugs and leads, and so on. The Transmission She has a 5
speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent.
No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it
should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and
differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and
next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum
body and paintwork are in a very good condition. Of course you can see here and
there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 27 year old
vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust
free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is
pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the
locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly
looked after. The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. The Chassis The complete
chassis is in mint condition (see pictures). It is hard and strong as to expect
from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance
that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the London
police department. The chassis
number or VIN is clearly visible. US VIN decoders won't recognize this VIN
because it's a European VIN. The VIN is: SALLDHMV7BA278219
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are in a
very good and original condition. All have good quality seat belts. The tires The Defender has
got 4 good all terrain tires and a spare on the rear door. The tires are perfect
for road use and not too heavy terrain. If you want to go into heavy terrain
with sand, mud and dirt, it is to be advised to put a set of mud tires on it. Service It has just got
a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box
and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in
excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT,
EPA and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to
a lot of Defenders for sale on eBay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary
paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist
with the titling as we have got the experience. If preferred, for
transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Contact me for more
details and quotes. Deposit We require a
deposit of $500, - within 24 hours after the end of auction.

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The 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.
