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.

Thieves stole $3.7 million worth of Jaguar Land Rover engines
Fri, Feb 3 2017This past Tuesday was not a good one for Jaguar Land Rover. According to British news source Birmingham Mail, just over $3.7 million worth of engines were stolen from the company's factory in Solihull, England. Reportedly, the thieves drove up to the facility in a stolen semi-truck, found a trailer full of engines, hooked it up, and drove off. The thieves did this twice in one night, with the same truck, and got the first trailer in just six minutes. Perhaps more shocking is that Birmingham Mail reports this is the second time a theft of this type has occurred at the facility. The previous time happened in almost exactly the same way, but the engines taken were valued at just over $1.2 million, and five people were convicted of the crime. Currently, local police are looking for the latest suspects and the engines. The trailers were found, but were empty. We got in touch with a Jaguar representative who provided us the company's official statement: "We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing." This was the only statement he would provide, and didn't provide answers as to what engines were stolen and if there would be any impact on manufacturing or vehicle deliveries. But if you're in the UK, and you've got a tip, let the cops know.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
