I am selling a RHD 1985 Defender 110 County Station Wagon, with its original 2.5 liter diesel engine and five speed LT-77 gearbox. Originally from Wales. Power steering, power brakes, original brown tweed interior, original rear bench seats. Original paint with County livery, starts and runs well, good overall condition for the year, not a restoration or rebuild. Has a lot of character, meaning a few dings and dents, faded paint, interior in decent shape. Missing one rear bench seat bottom cushion. Chassis is in overall very good condition, with a newer rear crossmember, and two new front outriggers. Has a spare rim but no tire, and the jack. Front brush guard is older, with a few spot of rust. brand new shocks and heavy duty springs. Bulkhead has a few spots on it that may need attention, but they do not affect the driveability or overall integrity. Doors are ok, but will need attention at some point down the road, but function correctly as she now stands. Engine purrs like a kitten, and the gearbox goes through the gears smoothly with no jumping out of gear, and no crunching. Electrics all work correctly, incl gauges, etc. Rear door was replaced at some point, and is very solid. Dash is in good condition, as are the seats, still in very good condition. Power steering works correctly, and does not leak, no binding or catching. Tires are in fair condition. Engine bay is in good order, with brand new radiator. Charging system works correctly. This is a great Defender for the price, and as with all things British and old, would be best suited to someone with a bit of experience with Brit quirkiness. This is a Defender that is currently being driven on a somewhat daily basis, and it runs beautifully. The 2.5 liter diesel four is one of the best engines Land Rover produced, not to be confused with the 2.5T turbocharged version, which had a tendency to detonate. Not a speed demon, but perfect for your cabin or lake house. The Defender is currently in the Hamptons in Sag Harbor for the Summer, where it is being used as a runabout when I am there. I can also arrange delivery door to door. Also, please be aware that this is not a rebadged, re-vinned newer model Defender, it is just about completely original (save the Discovery rims) and has all the requisite patina that is to be expected. The chassis number matches the number on the VIN plate. I received neg feedback from someone who purchased a vehicle we sold, who thought they were buying a restored vehicle. You are not buying a restoration, and you are not paying upwards of $100K for a leather clad, new paint, electric window, air conditioned 2010 Defender that is being passed off as an '80's model. It is simply a well looked after Defender that was not used off road or on a farm. Please ask questions before buying, I have over 20 years experience with these vehicles. We can also arrange delivery door to door, at buyers expense. Comes with a clean Pennsylvania title, and we can provide a 30 day transit tag if you want to drive it home. Call for full details, 215-426-2748.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
