This is a 1984 Land Rover Defender 90 soft-top with 70,499 miles. It is full-time four-wheel drive with right hand drive. 

Has the Rover 300TDI (turbo diesel) which, according to many enthusiasts, was the best engine Rover made. I consistently get 30mpg.
R380 5-speed gearbox with a few hundred miles on it. Rebuilt at the factory by Rover.
LT230 transfer case.  High and low.  This case has the 1:22 Discover gear ratio, but I have another case with the 1:44 Defender ratios that needs a rebuild and will come with the truck.
New muffler
New battery
Rear tires are fairly new. Spare has never been used. Front tires have a fair bit of life left in them.
Tow hitch, class III
New Exmoor Trim cubby box
New Exmoor Trim seat cover kit installed.
Rear has single jump seat with harness. I have the bench seats as well.
Radiator muff
High-Lift jack mounted to front bumper
Exmoor Trim soft top is in good shape with new windows. 
Chassis in excellent shape with no rust.

Slight axle grease leak on right rear side. Otherwise, this defender is mechanically sound.

It needs a new paint job, but I'm leaving that to the new owner. The original British paint didn't like the Southwest sun. There is fading and cracking. There is some slight bubble rust on the firewall and doors. There is also some hail damage on the right door and wing. I have the news skins for the door and wing. I don't have the money to continue with this project.

Finances are forcing me to sell. I still owe on this vehicle, so I will need to pay off the bank before title is sent. My selling price is firm.

I have described this Defender to the best of my knowledge/ability. It is sold as-is.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs

Thu, Feb 1 2018

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
