Up for sale is is a 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 in excellent condition. The vehicle lived most of its life on a factory lot in England and was used for moving goods around. As a result, it was not exposed to salted roads and has thus stayed in fantastic shape. 

The VIN has an english format. VIN: SALLDVA7AA250487 - B

The vehicle was imported in 2013 from a Land Rover dealer in the UK that had purchased this vehicle from the factory owner. Before importing to the US, the vehicle was expertly repainted by the paint shop of this Land Rover dealer and was repainted in its original color, Stratos Blue. At that point in time, the car received a series of new parts at the request of the current owner. 

-New doors (including rear doors) were installed. 
-New locking mechanisms 
-New suspension coils
-new front lights
-new camel trophy bar guard for front fascia
-new window tracks
-new window regulators

In addition to these parts, the car also had new old stock seats that were installed a year or so before the car was imported. 

The vehicle has 134,900 original miles and a clear title as well.  

In terms of cleanliness of the vehicle, the car looks fantastic. The paint looks excellent, but do note that there are a couple of light scratches to the hood (which can likely be buffed out). The interior is in great shape and dash is to be expected for a defender 90.  

The front fascia and bumpers were also repainted and give the car a powerful stance. The wheels also have fresh paint. 

All lights, buttons, and switches function properly, aside from the clock, which can be ordered easily, but is currently missing. The dash near the cowl also has a crack in it as well. 

The tires are in great shape as well and only have a couple thousand miles on them. 

If you do have any questions about the vehicle, please do let me know. I will try to answer you as quickly and thoroughly as possible. This vehicle is a rare and exceptional example of Chrysler history, with few even similarly comparable examples still around.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The 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 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.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
