Defender 110 Tithonus X-military Heavy Duty Virginia Beach on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
This vehicle is in excellent original military condition, and served with the British Army. VIN: SALLDHAC7BA290012 IT IS AN IDEAL HEAVY DUTY UTILITY VEHICLE. It can be configured for the Beach, taking a cooler and surf boards or for Hunting - it has the original rifle racks fitted between the front seats. We are enjoying this vehicle daily at the moment, going to the beach with it, and driving it around Virginia Beach. Everywhere we go people call out to us what a good looking truck it is, and take pictures. It is a unique utility vehicle that is so useable and fun - cooler in the back, surf boards on top, filled full of kids. You suddenly become a cool dad to 13 year old kids again… We are moving away with work so we have to sell :( Email/message me if you want to talk about it. A full
hard top comes with the vehicle, with a full size rear door, and internal roll
cage. The hard top can be taken off and all the doors can be reduced to half
doors. The vehicle also comes with the original military updated trim on the
interior. Conversion to LHD is also possible here in the USA. This British Army Land Rover Defender 110 (1987) was fully
refurbished under the ‘Tithonus’ project. Each Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully
refurbished by the MoD in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (life
extension program). The project was to
extend the overall service life of the Land-Rovers by 10 years or more. A fully integrated Wolf Roll Cage including front external
and rear internal hoop system provides protection. Front and rear disc
brakes were fitted, with the wheels replaced with heavy duty 16 inch Wolf
rims carrying 7.50R16 Michelin XZL tyres. Updated Exmoor ‘Outlast’ fabric front
seats with headrest and rear side facing folding seats with lap belts provide
seating for six. Front and rear, rubber sound proofing matting was also added. The vehicle is in Virginia Beach with full clear
Virginia title and all customs paperwork appropriately stamped during it's
import process. The Defender has a VA state inspection, is exempt EPA emissions
testing, and as it is older than 25 years old, exempt from DOT regulations as
an antique.
The truck is totally stock military spec and drives
very well. All seals and the drive train have been inspected, and timing belt
changed. It has Land Rover power assisted steering fitted. You can power a compressor from the power points in front or the rear - ideal for beach driving in the Outer Banks. The side locker holds a tow rope to pull Jeeps out of the sand… |

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
