1994 NAS Land Rover Defender 90

3.9 ltr. fuel injected aluminum V8 with upgraded Mallory ignition

5 speed R380 transmission

LT230 high/low transfer case with diff lock

5- 285/75/16 BF Goodrich all terrain tires with about 75% tread left

1.5” spring lift with OME shocks 

    This is a very nice, non rusty, dry climate, low mileage Defender. As you can see from the pictures, it comes with a full top as well as a bikini top and tonneau cover set up giving you several options.

    I know its hard to inspect a vehicle from an Ebay ad so I’ll try to be as thorough as possible here. It has a rebuilt title because, as I heard it, the body panels were vandalized with a claw hammer and the seats were sliced by a disgruntled ex. It was all repaired including a new body panel on the left rear of the tub, right rear of tub was repaired, bonnet (hood) was repaired, doors were both replaced with brand new, wings (front fenders) were replaced with good used ones and of course the entire truck has been repainted. The seats were replaced as well.

     It drives nice and straight on the highway and has plenty of power. It shifts good too although if you try to go from 1st to 2nd gear too fast you’ll get a slight gear meshing sound. Its fine if you don’t try to shift like you’re in a race car. I use Redline MTL transmission fluid in the transmission. The interior is real nice although there are a few cracks in the 20 year old plastic parts here and there which have been repaired. The air conditioning works great. It has 2 new a/c vents and the brake and clutch pedal pads are new. Has a CD player/radio, tuffy lock box and new waterproof marine grade speakers. The fully enclosed top is very usable although it is 20 years old and doesn’t seal around the doors all that great and has a few tiny spots that a starting to tear a bit. The soft top attaches to the tub via the improved belt rail system like on a 95 or 97 instead of the snaps that came on a 94. The rear lights and side marker lights have been upgraded to the 95/97 style as well. It has brand new front brake pads. It also has a brand new 4 pin tail light converter hooked up for trailer lights although I’ve never actually towed with it.  It's not a perfect D90, but it is really really nice.

    Feel free to ask more questions if there’s anything I haven't addressed here. I encourage and welcome you to come inspect the truck in person if you are able to. I'll be happy to coordinate my schedule to meet any vehicle transport servicer that you arrange to pick up the vehicle if needed.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas 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.

Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again

Tue, Apr 19 2016

Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower

Wed, Sep 27 2017

Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.
