1993 North American Specification (NAS) Defender 110, plaque number 198 of 500.
VIN SALDH128XPA919990
I am the second owner of this vehicle, having acquired it in 2013 from the original owner. When I began searching
for a NAS 110, I did so with the knowledge I’d gained as the owner of a 1997 Defender 90. I understood exactly
what I wanted, and had the following requirements: little to no rust, as close to original condition as possible,
well cared for with supporting service documentation, and a clean title confirming the history and stated mileage.
I spent over a year searching for one, flew out to personally inspect multiple NAS 110’s throughout the country,
and spent thousands on pre-purchase inspections, before discovering this vehicle at a ranch in Texas which checked
off all of my requirements. Since then, I’ve continued to care for this vehicle, truly appreciating just how few
of these are left in this near-original, un-molested condition.
Today, the truck has approximately 72,500 miles, and presents itself as a vehicle that has been used sparingly
throughout its life. That said, it will be turning 25 years old next year, and reasonable expectations should be
applied.
I have included the attached photos which I believe honestly depict the vehicle in its current condition, but I
have listed some items of note as you look through them:
-The original ANR1534 white steel wheels have been professionally refinished in black, with new tires recently
mounted
-The original radio has been replaced with an Alpine hands-free head unit, but the original is included
-The original headlights have been replaced with Truck-Lite LEDs, but the originals are included for replacement at
the buyer’s discretion
-The original LT77 gearbox was replaced with the R380 as part of an elective service from Land Rover N.A., which
still shifts smoothly today
-Braided stainless steel oil cooler lines have been fitted to replace the original rubber ones
-I have taken steps to ensure that the rust-free chassis and bulkhead would remain as such, but the running boards
could use either refinishing or replacement
-Interior including the dash and seats are close to perfect
-The passenger door could use either re-skinning or replacement in the future
-Headliner is sagging a bit in places
Additional original accessories included but not pictured include:
-Land Rover winch bag and leather gloves
-NAS 110 workshop manual
-Original window sticker
-NAS 110 owner’s manual

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
