Welcome to an  auction for a 26 year old Defender 110 Tithonus.”   E Bay does not recognize foreign VIN numbers so this is why 1980 appears above.

This is possibly the best condition 1987 Land Rover you will ever see. It is completely different from the usual worn-out ex MOD  usually on sale.



This Defender was put into service with the British Army from new. I am the 2nd owner.

During approximately 2009/10 the vehicle went through the MOD's Project Tithonus you can find info on project tithonus on Wikipedia . Work included a comprehensive overhaul of only the best Defenders already owned by the MOD. All the others that didnt make the grade were sold off.

Project Tithonus was a cost-saving measure by the MOD. It had a requirement to only use vehicles that were up to current health and safety standards. Therefore instead of purchasing a new fleet of vehicles it chose to refurbish the best of the existing stock. This refurbishment, known as Project Tithonus was to make the vehicles fit for service and meet current health and safety standards for at least another 10 years.



The refurbishment this Defender went through included:

-complete bare metal respray of body and chassis

-fitting of new Wolf style composite hard top

-fitting full Wolf roll-cage

-new seatbelts front and rear

-new updated front exmoor trim seats

-new folding exmoor trim rear seats with seatbelts

-new rubber sound proofing matting front and rear

-new Wolf wheels

-new upgraded brakes  ..(Front disc brakes)

-new Michelin tires  7.50R16 

-engine refurbishment 2.5Ltr  Diesel and 5 speed LT77 gearbox and transfer case

-chequer-plate to bonnet, hood and sills



After all of this work had been carried out some of the vehicles were sold off. This was due to down-sizing and a requirement for more armoured vehicles suitable for current deployments. Which is why this one became available.



It still has the original 2x SA80 rifle holders in the front and the radio/battery box in the rear.

It is in fantastic condition. There are NO typical-Land Rover dents

The chassis is absolutely pristine with no rust what so ever. It could be waxoyled to preserve it.

There is no bulk-head rot or footwell rot as can be found in much newer Defenders. It drives superb with no unusual clunks and bangs , no wines on the gearbox or axels and gearbox is smooth , engine fires up straight away.



Some of the military specifications of this that are different from standard specification are as follows:

-radio boxes and antennae mounts on the bonnet

-antennae mounting posts on both sides

-side cubby boxes

-rifle carriers in the front

-radio battery box in the rear

-radio cable-tray mounted on the roll-cage

-military rear bumpers

-towing eye in the front bumper

-NATO style rear tow-hitch

-shovel/tools mounting to the rear door

Wolf air vents to both front wings

Wolf/WMIK  carrier on bonnet

 



The usual Land Rover specifications for this Defender are as follows:

- Left Hand Drive


 -permanent 4 wheel drive

-high and low ratio gear box

 The odometer is showing 144,000 km, which is 90,000 miles. Extremely  low for the age. This is the original odometer so the millage is even less since the refurbishment in 2009.  It really has done no work at all.

The buyer must contact me within 24 hours of the sale and make a wire payment of $1,000 deposit.

Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO

Tue, Jul 28 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech

Wed, Jun 5 2019

FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.
