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.

Price Reduced. Must Sell, bought a house.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
