The actual VIN on this car is SALLDVb7fa377262. Because this car was imported to the US, its VIN is not recognized by Ebay.

This Defender 90 Estate was purchased by a Lord in England (documented that lord listed on V5 which is UK's verso of a title, was the only owner) and spent it’s entire life on a country estate. The vehicle is completely stock with matching numbers. It has been repainted the original color. The interior is stock black and gray. We purchased the vehicle to re-sell it in the United States. The vehicle is being shipped in September to Houston, Texas from the UK.  Therefore, the pick-up or ship from location is Houston.

The Defender has factory sunroof, flip down-steps on driver & passenger side, 3500 V8 engine, manual transmission, AM/FM/Cassette (original) radio.

We looked at several Defenders in the UK and this one is without the typical cancer and rust you see on these cars. It has minimal surface rust, but far from what most have. The frame, cross members, outriggers, etc. are all rust-free. The body has no hole or cancer bubbling.

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 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.
