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.

Watch feds crush classic Mini caught in importation dragnet
Fri, Dec 12 2014Fair warning for any classic car fans that suffer from high blood pressure: this story might not be good for your health. US Customs and Border Protection is teaming up with British law enforcement to keep unsafe, imported vehicles off the road here – like this Mini. In the government's view, the only way to make things right is to crush the cars, apparently. The destruction is part of Operation Atlantic, a crackdown on Minis and Land Rover Defenders that are being illegally imported. According to Yahoo Autos, this is just one of about 100 vehicles from the dragnet. This specific car came into the US in June, and its VIN indicated a model from 1988. However, the vehicle had a different engine than it should have, and the steering wheel was on the wrong side. It was likely actually from around 2000. To emphasize the crackdown, government officials and press gathered at a New Jersey junkyard to destroy the car. Check out the video below to watch the carnage and listen to the horrible crunching noises, and read the sad press release below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Trans-Atlantic Partnership Seeks to Crush Illegal Trade of Unsafe Vehicles NEWARK, New Jersey-U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) destroyed an illegally imported and unsafe Mini Cooper Thursday at a salvage yard in New Jersey following a recent seizure at the Newark Seaport. CBP captured photos, b-roll and principal sound bites for use by news media. This Mini is just one of dozens of vehicles intercepted at ports of entry across the U.S, including ports in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, Florida, Houston and Tacoma, Washington. Over the past year, CBP has increased targeting and inspections of suspect imported vehicles, specifically Minis and Land Rover Defenders, as part of Operation Atlantic, a new trans-Atlantic partnership between U.S. and U.K. regulatory and law enforcement officials. "Intercepting illegal and unsafe imports is a top priority for CBP," said Brenda Smith, CBP's assistant commissioner for International Trade. "Through Operation Atlantic, we are stopping illegally imported, unsafe vehicles from driving on our roadways, and at the same time, partnering with our colleagues in the UK to stop this criminal activity at its source." Launched in March 2014 by CBP's Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center (CTAC), U.S.
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover
Sat, Feb 17 2024At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History
