1997 Land Rover Defender 90 #015 on 2040-cars
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, United States
|
For sale is my 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top #015. Always dealer serviced and maintained, this truck has had no expense spared. In preparation for sale my truck recently underwent a full inspection at a Land Rover dealership for anything that needed attention. Over $8,000 in service was just preformed last week to ensure that any known issues were fixed. Recently this included all new rotors, calipers, brake pads, bushings, exhaust, engine tune-up, wheel balancing, fluids changed and rust inhibitor undercoating. Service has always been done before the scheduled maintenance date and the vehicle has been worked on only be Land Rover certified technicians.
This is a summer vehicle and has always been stored indoors for winter. Unfortunately, this is also the reason for selling. I recently purchased a '67 Series IIA and will be driving that as my summer cruiser. This Defender is too nice to be out on the roads during a Michigan winter, especially with all the salt and potholes. I purchased this truck approximately two years ago from a Land Rover dealership in Dallas, TX. The truck was bone stock then and purchased with 64,000 miles on the clock. Over these two summers I've put almost 16,000 miles on her and upgraded many things including: Mantec bumper with 12k lb. winch (never used, still needs to be wired), Hella Rallye 3000 lights, skid plate, Boost alloy wheels powdercoated black, Safety Devices roof rack, Pioneer Nav system with reverse camera and custom MUD UK dash, and of course little bits like heated seats, upgraded sound system, USB charger, mud flaps, side steps rear dog cage, etc... Included in the sale are the 5 original NAS rims that came with the vehicle. They are in near perfect shape however I didn't prefer the look. Seats are in perfect shape with no rips or tears. There is a small dent on the passenger side wing from the ONE time I took it "off road". Jeesh! Also some very slight rust starting to appear under the air intake bonnet flap. Was planning on having both of these issues addressed as soon as warmer weather approached. I'm sure that I am forgetting a lot of things about the truck and will try and answer any questions possible. I tried to keep this truck as authentic "Land Rover-ish" looking as possible. The roof rack took over 6 months to find as did the Boost alloy wheels. The front winch bumper is Mantec, however it resembles the stock Defender bumper very well. New old stock Hella Rallye 3000 fog lights were found and installed with a genuine Defender operation switch. For summer camping I have a Tepui roof top tent that I've used in conduction with this truck. It's only been used a few times and includes the additional annex and awning. Makes for an amazing camping setup. I'll attach pictures of it installed on my GTI for reference. This tent and all of its components will be included in the sale for the "buy it now" price. I really really hate to see this truck go and have struggled with the thought of selling it for a while. It doesn't get the use that it should and as I have a new family member (the '67 IIA), I just don't have the time for two. I will be driving this truck for a little while before I say goodbye, so mileage might change slightly. REVISED: Speedo is in MPH and odo is in KM. Entries in title or service records (i.e. CARFAX or Land Rover service database) will reflect the odo number in miles when its actually kilometers, so you'll need to convert for true mileage. |

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump
Fri, Apr 13 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits
Sat, Jul 4 2015Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models
Thu, Oct 1 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
