NO RESERVE AUCTION - BID TO WIN!!!


**Please note that the winning bidder will need to collect the Rover and complete payment between July 9-12.  I'm in Hawaii until July 8!**  

1995 Land Rover Defender 90 Soft Top #2707.  

One of only 1,190 1995 Defender 90 Soft Tops imported.  Portifino Red with Black Interior.  I have owned this truck since 2005.
Odometer reads 104,000 miles, but is off by about 20% due to gearing and tires.  Actual mileage is around 83,000.

IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL SHAPE!  I WILL DRIVE IT TO YOU WITHIN 300 MILES!  

OFF ROAD UPGRADES DO NOT DEGRADE ON ROAD PERFORMANCE!  VEHICLE IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE!

SERIOUS HEAD TURNER - EVEN WHEN THERE ARE OTHER EXOTIC VEHICLES AROUND!



THE BAD:
*It's dented and scraped up from trails.  All of the "damage" is cosmetic.  The RH front fender is mangled thanks to my buddy Josh not looking one night up on 21 Road on his birthday. That's the worst of it, but the other panels pretty much all have dents and scratches too. Body panels are cheap for it though if you want to fix it up!  Check roversnorth.com.

*Sometimes when you're going about 40mph it gets a front end wobble, but this goes away if you accelerate or brake a little.  Only happens if you stay at some magic speed.

*If you try to speed shift it will hesitate going into second gear.  It's not a race car, and if you don't drive it like one you'll never have a problem.

*I HAVE INSTALLED NEW TURN SIGNALS, RUNNING LIGHTS, AND STOP/BRAKE LIGHTS, AS WELL AS THE RH FRONT TRIM PIECE AND HEADLIGHT HOUSING.  ALL LIGHTING WORKS PROPERLY AND IS AIMED PROPERLY. 


THE GOOD:
*Runs excellent and is a very reliable vehicle.
*I use it as a driver when I don't ride my motorcycle, so it doesn't get driven too often. 
*Many upgrades for off road use (WHICH ALSO ENHANCE ON ROAD USE ie. snow/inclement weather) including:
ARB air lockers front and rear, ARB air compressor mounted in cubby under passenger seat
4.75 Gears, Cryoed
Salisbury Semi Float rear end with Disc brakes (extremely rare) 
Heavy duty Cro-Mo front axle shafts
Rovertracks extreme duty steering parts (tie rod, drag link, track rod)
Safari Gard front three link suspension
Rovertracks lengthened Heavy Duty rear links with Heim joints
Allied Bead Locks (real bead lock wheels) with 37x12.50x15" Goodyear MTRs (set of 5, the 5th has a TSL IROK in 38x12.50x15 mounted)
Rock Ware front winch bumper with two heavy duty bow shackle mounts
Heavy Duty rear Tire Carrier (no lugs on it, I never carried a spare, just repair kit and CO2 tank)
WARN 9000 pound winch with synthetic rope
Rock Ware heavy duty rock sliders
Energizer marine deep cycle battery (I was not impressed with Optima at all)
Fully welded and reinforced roll cage
Tom Woods Custom driveshafts (propeller shafts) front and rear
Great Basin Rovers transfer case gear set for ULTRA LOW low range (a $3000 kit)
Mastercraft Safety seats with 5 point harnesses (brand new)
Tuffy lockable console with Sony CD deck and USB port
Tuffy rear speaker boxes with Infinity Marine 6x9 speakers, Kicker front marine speakers, Bazooka 10" marine subwoofer, 500W Sony x-plod amp
Tuffy lockable Toolbox
Bikini top and two soft tops (both full tops have small tears though)
Quick release mounts for the doortop windows (obviously comes with windows too!)
 Fox Racing Shocks Coilover rear suspension

This truck can go anywhere you want to take it.  You can do trails or just drive it to the beach or the mall and cruise for members of the opposite sex.  This truck gets looks from guys and girls alike!  

This truck will give anyone instant credibility.  YOU ARE NOT A POSER WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING THIS D-90!  Its the real deal!

Also good:
No cancer!  High desert truck with a small amount of surface rust ONLY!  Nothing is rusting out!
I replaced the clutch 5 years ago, and have only put a few thousand miles on it in that time.  All new disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and slave cylinder (genuine parts).
I put a brand new (not rebuilt) alternator in it two years ago.
It will come with a Mastercraft Safety back seat and a spare front outer axleshaft (fits either side, I bought it in case I broke one on a trail and never needed it)
All new turn signal assemblies (for all signals and tail/stop lights) and RH front trim pieces have been installed.


Auction Details:
I'm in Hawaii on vacation right now.  I will contact the winning bidder as soon as I can to touch base.  I can be reached at jacob.wilbert@gmail.com with any questions or extra picture requests.  If you really need to talk to me on the phone send me a message and I'll reply with my phone number. 

IMPORTANT:  The winning bidder will need to make arrangements to come pick the vehicle up between July 9 and July 12.  I will not be around until July 9 and will be leaving again on the evening of the 12th.  I will accept CASH, MONEY ORDER, or ELECTRONIC BANK TRANSFER.  I don't want your bank account info, we will physically go to my bank and you can talk to a banker there to do the transfer if this is how you'd like to do the deal.  I prefer EBT because you don't have to carry cash and I don't have to worry about you canceling a cashier's check.

Good luck, I hope you will give her a good home!

Here's a link to some more pictures, I'll keep adding based on anything anyone would like to see:

Jaguar Land Rover said to favor Europe rather than US for new plant

Sat, Feb 21 2015

With its plants running at full tilt, Jaguar Land Rover is in desperate need of additional manufacturing capacity. That's led to reports that the Indian-owned British company was looking to join European, Japanese and Korean automakers in America's southern states, all while it opened new plants in the UK and China. The company even announced it would be building the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Brazil. Now, though, reports are suggesting that JLR is looking at Europe for a new facility, rather than the US, with Automotive News claiming the company's execs are eyeing the lower costs afforded by Austria and Turkey. The report cites the Birmingham Post (UK), the broadsheet that's closest to the company's headquarters. According to the original report, labor costs and wage disputes with unions are ruling out another factory in the UK, while those same disputes with labor outfits may also be souring the automaker on a US facility. "At this stage Europe seems more likely than America. The union pay dispute had a big effect," an unnamed source told the Post. "There is a feeling of alienation that has been left over from the way the pay talks were handled." JLR, meanwhile, offered a solid no comment to the Post, with a spokesperson saying, "No decision has been taken on future manufacturing locations. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our manufacturing footprint in the future." Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.

Land Rover could build a baby Defender on a platform sourced from BMW

Mon, Aug 12 2019

The collaboration between BMW and Jaguar-Land Rover started out small, it was originally limited to motors for electric cars, but it might not stay that way for long. The Tata-owned British sister companies will allegedly rummage through Munich's sizable parts bin to build nearly half a dozen cars scheduled to come out during the 2020s. According to a report by British magazine Autocar, Jaguar has started designing two small cars that will join its growing family of Pace-badged soft-roaders. They'll be new additions to the firm's portfolio, not replacements for existing cars. One will be a regular crossover, while the other will be a swoopier, form-over-function four-door model ostensibly marketed as a coupe. Both will slot at the very bottom of the Jaguar portfolio, below the already pretty small E-Pace, in a growing market segment where the competition is fierce, and profit margins are thinner than an i3's tires. Here's where BMW apparently comes in. Instead of developing a platform from scratch, the two crossovers could ride on the hybrid-ready, front-wheel drive FAAR architecture found under the third-generation 1 Series hatchback and the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe. If we believe an earlier report claiming Jaguar and BMW will also share engines, most of the hardware found under the sheet metal will have German genes. All-wheel drive will certainly be available, and it could also come from BMW. The same platform -- and, presumably, the same engines -- would provide the basis for a Land Rover-badged model positioned in the same segment. Autocar learned it will be to the next-generation Defender (pictured) what the Mercedes-Benz GLB is to the G-Class. Some key design cues will carry over, but the two models will share absolutely nothing under the sheet metal. The soft-roader could resurrect the Freelander nameplate when it goes on sale during the 2020s. Looking even further ahead, the front-wheel-drive platform the next Mini Countryman and X1 will utilize could find its way under the replacements for the next Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport. These plans could very well change; the Evoque and the Disco Sport barely entered their second generation, so they're not due for a replacement until the second half of the coming decade. While neither company has confirmed or denied the report, the partnership makes sense from a business standpoint.
