This is an extremely rare and unique Land Rover Defender 110.  An absolutely beautiful design, restoration and rebuild of the most iconic 4x4 in history, this 1995 Defender has been designed to replicate the current models sold in other areas of the world today, plus a number of custom upgrades all completed by Defender specialists in the UK before being shipped to Canada. 

This is a one of a kind version of the world’s toughest 4x4 combined with the creature comforts of a city driver, all wrapped with a look and feel that turns heads and gets continuous attention, thumbs up, wide eyes, and drueling. Many enthusiasts have said this is the most beautiful Defender they have ever seen. 

Exterior upgrades include Land Rover’s Bonatti Grey Metallic paint with Black Roof, black diamond plate trims and 17” black alloy wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 BFG All-Terrain tires for a perfect stance and great performance.  Other exterior upgrades include: 

  • -       New puma style hood
  • -       Aftermarket KBX grille and headlight surrounds
  • -       LED clear lens kit front and rear
  • -       Black tube side steps
  • -       All new rear windows and seals
  • -       New front windshield and seal
  • -       All new door seals and bushings
  • -       Stainless Steel bolt kit throughout
  • -       Tinted windows in rear

The interior was completely stripped for paint and rebuilt with all new parts, including:

  • -       New black half Leather high back front seats
  • -       New center console
  • -       New black half Leather rear bench style seat
  • -       New center dash option to house stereo and controls (consistent with newer models)
  • -       New black carpet kit throughout
  • -       Soundproofing kit
  • -       All interior paneling and dash painted black
  • -       Leather wrapped door cards with white stitching, shifter boot and dash trim to match stitching of leather seats
  • -       New Sony CD/MP3/USB stereo with 4 speakers
  • -       Black rubber floor mats for all weather
  • -       New white headliner and additional accessory lights in cargo area 

Mechanically the truck runs on a 300tdi 4-cylinder diesel motor that is known to be one of Land Rover’s most durable engines.  The original motor has 260,000 kms on it before the full spec below.  A thorough mechanical inspection was completed and all worn mechanical parts were replaced, including:

  • -       New disc brake rotors and pads front and rear
  • -       New shocks and springs front and rear
  • -       Exhaust manifold gasket
  • -       Full engine service including gaskets, filters, seals, spill pipes
  • -       Timing belt and tensioners
  • -       Many bushings and bearings throughout
  • -       Exhaust center and aft sections
  • -       Steering dampers
  • -       Much more… 

These motors have been consistently known to go 300,000 miles (approx. 500,000 kms) before needing a rebuild so she’ll be a reliable pusher for years to come.

If you’re after one of North America’s most rare and sought after vehicles this Defender 110 is right up your alley!  She is unlike anything you’ll see driving the streets and is one very special vehicle in absolutely beautiful condition.

I am willing to help coordinate shipping at the buyers expense across Canada.  This vehicle is not admissible to the United States as it does not meet the age requirement (25 years old) to import.

Aston Martin DB10 spied in action on James Bond Spectre set

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Spectre, the next film in the James Bond franchise, is due for release on November 6 of this year. That means there's filming happening right now all over Europe as scenes are stitched together, and one of them involves the Aston Martin DB10 shuffling through maneuvers at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Our guess is that Bond has become an unwelcome guest at a fancy event – there's a Porsche 959 and a Bugatti EB110 in the courtyard – which is why he is forced to make one of his quick-reversing escapes under fire. While that was being captured last week, the Spectre production crew put together another behind-the-scenes clip from filming in Austria, which gives us a look at the Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender "Bigfoot" crushing it up some snowy mountain passes. That clip is below. Yes, we're excited.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

All Jaguars and Land Rovers to get diesel engines... almost

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Virtually all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles – except the F-Type sports car – will get a diesel engine option in the next three years, the company confirmed Sunday night at an event before the Detroit Auto Show. The aggressive blitz begins this fall, when the 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will launch with available turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. They will push out 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, while returning fuel economy of up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined rating in city and highway driving will be 25 mpg. The Rovers will be followed in 2016 by the XE sedan and F-Pace crossover, which will offer the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines, in addition to gasoline units. The diesel-powered XE is expected to get at least 40 mpg on the highway, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt said. The oil-burners are expected to offer 20-to-30 percent improvements in fuel economy compared with gasoline engines, depending on the vehicle. JLR's announcement comes as gasoline prices have plummeted in the United States, and regular fuel costs about $1 less than a gallon of diesel, according to AAA research. Still, the company is taking the long view, and Eberhardt said diesel engines offer greater performance and range than other options. JLR expects about 20 percent of its customers will opt for diesel engines. "We strongly believe this is what our customers will want, regardless of the fluctuations in gas prices," he said.
