My kids and I will be sad to see it go. Would like to see it go to a tender loving Canadian family or farm... It would make a nice advertisement platform for a small business owner or a nice expedition truck!

This is an original Euro specs 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 TDI. It is the left hand drive version (the correct side for Canada and USA). Has a strong running diesel engine, no leaks. It's the base model with manual windows, 5 speed manual transmission, no A/C. Has a pop-up sunroof. 

Has been garage kept since I own it. I imported it myself from Europe. I was planning to restore it completely. 

- 300TDI Engine starts easily. 5 speed manual transmission and transfer case shift as it should. 
- The engine bay is very clean, has no weird noise, no fume, nothing is loose. Very clean. 
- Drives straight. Easily reach 115KM on Highway (probably more but I never tried). No vibration, no problems with suspension and steering. 
- 5 nice matching Michelin tires in good condition! 
- All lights and gauges are working. Battery was changed 2 years ago. 
- The seats are clean, the fabric is nice. All seats and seat belts are functional. No rips, no stains. Carpets do have some wear. The headliner is kind of loose and needs cleaning. 
- The roof top shows like it should be reseal. I never took the time to do it since I never used the truck in bad weather. Always garage kept.
- I have a spare rear bumper and frame assembly, that was given to me by the previous owner. I do not think it should be replaced as it involves some cutting and welding on the frame. But would give this part to you if you want it. 
- The truck has some rust (like around doors). A lot less than most Canadian SUV of that year. Nothing is major to me. But would benefit from a complete restoration.The body is mostly aluminium so no rust there. Very solid truck overall. 
- The rear bumper just restored. The old rusty bumper was recap with a plate of steel to pass the local safety inspection.
- I have a spare rear bumper and frame assembly, that was given to me by the previous owner. I do not think it should be replaced as it involves some cutting and welding on the frame. But would give this part to you if you want it. 
- It shown no sign of any prior accident. All serial numbers are matching. This is an honest original truck. 
- The blue paint is faded. Would be nice to have it painted (graphic wrap maybe?) 
- This is not a new truck, but I would drive it right away across the country. 
- Currently, I do not have much time for these trucks. Only issue: Low/High bean are not working. Side markers are not working. These are all on the same relay I believe so it is probably just a relay. All these were working 1 year ago when the truck got safety inspected.

My plan was to use this truck as a daily driver for the next 5 years and then restore it with a new galvanized frame from UK.

I have about 25 pictures and two videos to show on request. 
Reason to sell: I'm selling all my trucks to finance a business project. 
I do not want to loose time with un-serious people. Test drive upon accepted offer only. 

100$ paypal deposit with 24h. I know what it is to buy a car sight unseen. If you are located away and really need a truck like this one, please note I would refund your deposit if not completely satisfied upon seeing the truck for real. No refund if you are not showing.

Note: Defenders are highly valuable in USA. In only 5 years this truck will be a  lot more valuable as it would meet USA 25 year import requirements for out of country classic cars. This Land Rover is like real estate. Basically this investment will not cost you anything, it's taking value with time.Truck is located about 1 hour east of Montreal, Quebec. I do not ship but would help if you need to arrange something. I cannot issue a temporary tag or insurance. I'm not a car dealer. The truck is registered in my business name. Taxes will be according to your location (GST, PST, HST). 

I will help with shipping in Canada or Export anywhere in the world. Except USA. This vehicle cannot be exported to USA before an other 5 years.

Please contact me to discuss further. 

I will also be selling my truck collection including a Unimog 406 and Volvo TGB11 C303 in nice condition.

Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

Land Rover Defender V8, next Range Rover, new BMW M3 share the Nurburgring

Thu, Jul 23 2020

From open-track days to 24-hour races, so many events are held on Germany's Nurburgring track that carmakers need to share the tarmac with their rivals to put new models through their paces. Industry pool days are normally closed to the public, but a seven-minute video reveals what Land Rover, BMW, and several others are testing. Posted on YouTube by StatesideSupercars, the video shows prototypes racing around the track in the mid-summer heat. Land Rover's engineers are busy putting the final touches on the V8-powered variant of the new Defender, which our spies have previously spotted testing in its home country of England, and they're developing what looks like the high-performance, SVR-badged version of the next-generation Range Rover due out in 2020. As we reported earlier in 2020, the hot-rodded Defender packs a 5.0-liter V8 between its fenders, though its horsepower and torque outputs remain under wraps. Unverified rumors claim it will arrive as a limited-edition model to avoid sending Land Rover's fleet-wide CO2 emissions through the roof. And, the video confirms chassis engineers have made extensive modifications to the SUV's suspension, partly to keep body roll in check. Walking down the pits, members of BMW's testing team are getting up early to put track miles on an enigmatic variant of the face-lifted M5, and on the next-generation M3. We've already seen the M5 in the metal, so why is it still camouflaged? One possible answer is that we're looking at the rumored CS version, which should receive a 641-horsepower V8 thanks to software tweaks and a better cooling system. The simpler (and more boring) possibility is that BMW isn't quite done testing the M5, and it doesn't want to waste time removing the black and white wrap. Your author regularly spotted i8 prototypes in full camouflage regalia months after its debut. As for the M3, much has already been said about its mammoth grille, which seemingly mirrors the one worn by the new 4 Series. Autoblog drove a pre-production prototype in June and walked away impressed. It receives an evolution of the X3 M's 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged to 473 horsepower, though selecting the optional Competition package will increase that figure to 503. And, fear not: The six-speed stick is coming back. Land Rover and BMW aren't the only companies playing on the 'Ring.

Jaguar-Land Rover rules out downsizing into new segments

Sun, Nov 17 2019

Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) will continue expanding its portfolio of models during the 2020s, but the group confirmed it won't chase volume by branching out into smaller segments like its German rivals. The two brands will instead seek partnerships to generate economies of scale. "We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economies of scale," said Felix Brautigam, Jaguar-Land Rover's chief commercial officer, in an interview with Autocar. He added the second-generation Range Rover Evoque (pictured) released in 2018 is already a relatively small car. It stretches 172 inches from bumper to bumper and 75 inches from side to side, so it's approximately 4 inches longer and 5 inches wider than the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf. It's about 8 inches taller than the German hatchback, however. While that's small by luxury car standards, Mercedes-Benz and BMW respectively went smaller with their Smart and Mini brands. Audi doesn't have an entry-level sub-brand, but it doesn't need to because it's part of the gigantic Volkswagen Group. Japanese luxury firms like Lexus and Infiniti are also part of bigger companies. Brautigam's comments bury numerous rumors. They confirm Jaguar won't take on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the Audi A3, and the BMW 1 Series with a model positioned below the XE, which competes against the C-Class, the A4, and the 3 Series, respectively. They also douse cold water on the born-again Freelander (which ultimately morphed into the LR2 in America), which Land Rover was allegedly developing to slot directly below the aforementioned Evoque. Ironically, JLR might soon have access to platforms capable of underpinning smaller vehicles. Parent company Tata Motors is actively looking for an outside company to link arms with the British brands, according to a separate report. Officials reportedly approached BMW -- which used to own Land Rover, and announced a joint-venture with the group in 2019 -- and Geely, the Chinese giant whose portfolio of brands includes Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Proton, London Taxi Company, Terrafugia, and half of Smart, plus a sizeable, nearly-10% stake in Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler. Geely told Bloomberg it hasn't heard from Tata or JLR. BMW and Tata remained silent. While a partnership with someone looks likely considering the significant hurdles faced by JLR, its parent company has categorically ruled out selling the duo it purchased from Ford for $2.3 billion in 2008.
