1997 Defender 110 Lhd, Diesel With Automatic And A/c on 2040-cars
Sisters, Oregon, United States
We have had this truck for almost 10 years and the wife decided she wanted me to build her something different so we are going to let the green beast have a new home. Truck was imported through a registered importer by the previous owner. This is a factory 1997 LHD Defender with 300tdi engine. Ebay doesn't recognize the VIN: SALLDHM68VA109087 After buying the truck the following items were done: -new doors -rebuilt axles -conversion to rebuilt automatic transmission and transfer case---with proper interior console -all new bushing, OME spring and Bilstein shocks. -full width intercooler added, larger turbo, head rebuilt, aluminum radiator -second fuel tank added under passenger seat -carpet removed and linex applied to all areas that were carpeted -Color change --full repaint to Willow Green -new door seals and window seals -second a/c system added under passenger seats -rear Webasto diesel heater -new rear cross member and fuel tank -waxoil applied to frame and inside of doors -MUD Defender Counsel for mounting the radio in the dash---ipod capable radio -pyrometer and boost gauges -ARB front bumper---no winch -folding side steps -led park and turn signals -stainless mounting hardware for doors and roll cage -tinted windows
Truck originally had about 80,000 miles on it, after the partial restoration and change to the automatic transmission the speedometer was replaced with a new unit and shows the mileage since the restoration which is roughly 59,000 miles. Other features the truck has are: -rear wiper and defrost -load adjustable head lights -sun roof -a/c front and rear -seating and seat belts for 9 people -Snorkel -full roll cage
This truck will not win any speed races, but will take you places that few vehicles can. I would drive this vehicle anywhere…again not in any hurry, but she has never let us down. The transmission was just serviced and new lines were put to the transmission cooler as one was seeping. New air filter was installed. Currently getting between 20mpg to 24mpg depending on how hard you press the little pedal and will run on biodiesel. Paint is not perfect with a few rock chips and dings here and there, but still has a great shine. Interior dash has a few small cracks but no major imperfection. Has a free and clear title in my name which states it is a 1997 Defender. Truck is being sold AS IS. If you are in California you need to do your own research as to whether this truck can be registered there. This truck will be missed, but it also gives me an excuse to start another project when she is gone….so happy bidding.

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
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.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
