1992 Land Rover Defender on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
Everything is brand new. Interior, exterior, engine transmission, accessories everything. It took 2 years to finish
this car. I purchased it in 2011. I bought it to enjoy it, it was in great original shape when I bought it and it
had only 40000 miles, then after 6 months I decided to fully restore the car. It was finished in 2015. I will try
to list everything that was done to the car, but I will probably forget most of the things. Just send me a message
if you have any questions. In the last 5-6 years, I only put 6000 miles on the car after full restoration and still
did maintenance every 6 months.
When I built this car, I wanted to build the ultimate Defender. Very capable off roader with the looks and very
comfortable daily driver in the city. Starting with the city features, the car has 2 very important features. Air
conditioning system and power steering wheel. These 2 are game changers in these cars. Without these two, it is
very hard to drive these cars. Also the car has power brakes and brand new clutch and recently serviced
transmission. Heater works well, and all the doors, door panels, seals were replaced. Off road tires are very quiet
and it gives a very smooth ride in daily driving. it is a very smooth and quiet ride in the city and very
comfortable. You can go on highway, and it is very quiet. Even though the car was built as a true off roader, I
only took it off-road a couple times and mostly for camping. Car was never taken to hard off-road terrains.
Exterior:
Car was painted Camel Trophy yellow. All the trims and accessories are gloss black and they are correct to original
Camel Trophy Defenders. Car is lifted and all the springs, shocks, arms, links are brand new. It has 4 brand new
tires with less than 200 miles on them. You can still see the markings on the tires. Rims are also painted to the
body color.
Front headlight and rear taillights all have protector cages around them. Grill and headlight bases are also
painted to gloss black. All 16 windows are tinted and look amazing. Front bumper, rear bumper, side steps are
custom made. Panel under the front bumper is also custom with “Defender” script on it with matching yellow
color. There is a 33” jack installed on the rear bumper and a ladder to go to the roof tent. There are also steps
on the rear bumper as well.
There are 5 off road lights on the roof in front and all of them are functional. There are also lights on the side
of the roof and in the back. They are all LEDs and all work. Pretty bright. Rugged Ridge 12000lb winch was
installed in the front and can be controlled via remote in the trunk.
There is a custom roof rack on top with a very large tent. Tent can host 3 people. Also the rear seats of the car
can fold down and 2 people can sleep there. So 5 people can sleep on this car int total. Tent in the back also
covers the back of the car and that area can be used for showering. . Roof rack also carries 2
storage boxes and the spare tire.
There are rocker panels installed on the side of the car and they are also painted gloss black. This also provides
a unique look to this beautiful Defender. Also snorkel is installed on the driver side of the car so it can go
through deep waters.
Interior:
Interior is brand new as seen in the photos. Black real leather is used with yellow stitching and accents. Interior
has lots of custom pieces and looks very luxurious.
Most important piece of the interior is the Webasto Air Conditioning system that is installed underneath the arm
rest. This is a game changer.
There is a bluetooth radio and speakers, that also provides great sound. You can connect your phone to it or just
listen to the radio.
All the pedals, floor mats, carpets, roof lining, dome lights, dash, door panels, steering wheel, seat belts, arm
rest, doors, locks, window regulators and whatever you can think of are brand new. Some of them are custom made
pieces like door panels, roof linings dashboard, lockable arm rest, sun visors.. Some of them are original Land
Rover parts like steering wheels, shifters, seat bases, seat belts, mirrors etc.
There is a 2 part storage area in the trunk. These 2 sections can be used to hide stuff or separate the cargo. Side
windows in the trunk can slide and open for more air. Rear door panel and trunk side panels are also finished in
leather with yellow stitching.
Engine and Transmission:
Brand new clutch was installed 200 miles ago and transmission is serviced. Fluids were flushed and replaced.
Transmission is very smooth and brand new.
Power steering box was recently replaced. Steering wheel is very soft and responsive.
Car has a 2.5L gasoline engine with 4 cylinders. Engine was serviced at the same time and has lots of new
components. Spark plugs, seals, oil, filters, gaskets and many more parts. Tune up was done and drives very
smoothly. Nothing needs to be done to the engine or transmission. Turn key car. No leaks, no vibration, no funny
noises. It is almost impossible to find a Defender in this mechanical condition.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar XE to be built in China
Mon, Dec 29 2014After a six-year absence, the Jaguar XE will return that most English of automotive companies to the compact premium segment, the brand's first whole-hearted launch into that market. For certain Western markets it begins production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull early next year, but it will also continue the brand's venture in to China having been chosen as the first Jaguar to be built there, according to a report in Automotive News. Jaguar-Land Rover owns a plant in Changshu, a joint venture with Chery Automobile, that started building the Range Rover Evoque this year and will add the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Previously, The Leaping Cat was selling cars built from kits at its factory in Pune, India. The brand figures to sell 20,000 cars in China next year, which would be less than a fifth of in-country sales for the JLR group, but the XE is the "spearhead vehicle" that "could make significant inroads" there, according to Jaguar. For comparison, Audi moved 120,450 A4s alone and BMW sold more than 100,000 3 Series models in China in 2013. Globally, Jaguar is predicted to sell 80,000 units this year. By 2017, after the release of the XE, new XF and coming crossover, plus factory expansions in China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, it hopes to get that number up to 200,000 units; Forbes has a piece detailing why they think it's possible. The JLR group is shooting for a target of 850,000 units worldwide by 2020.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — 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.
