ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 is an exceptional frame-off restoration just imported from the U.K. The truck has been very nicely updated with all new interior, new grille, new wheels and new suspension -- but it retains its original 2.5 liter turbo diesel making it legal in all 50 states. It underwent a nut-and-bolt restoration less than a year ago; a portfolio of the work, including photos, is available upon request. This D90 is on a clear Georgia title and comes with a certified copy of its U.K. factory record and all U.S. CBP, DOT and EPA import approval documents. VIN is SALLDVAB7EA351721.

These aluminum-bodied Defenders are notorious for being wavy and having poor gaps, but this example is among the best from the era we have seen. Paint quality is excellent, and the truck has a great updated look thanks to the new-style grille, headlights and wheels. All seals, weatherstripping and rubber are new. The front skidplate and side rocksliders were added during the restoration. The underside is rock solid -- the frame was sandblasted to bare metal and undersealed with waxoyl. There is no known rust evident anywhere on the truck.

The interior features new Britpart seats and center console, a new headliner, sun visors and dash pad, new seat belts and new molded rubber floor coverings. The steering wheel and dash face are in excellent original condition. A new AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input and USB is fitted in the dash. There are so many new components inside that this D90 looks, feels and smells brand new. All gauges, switches and indicators are working properly.

Under the hood is the original 2.5 liter turbo diesel mated to a five-speed manual transmission. It starts and runs very well and both the clutch and gearbox feel great. With power steering and power disc brakes, it's quite civilized to drive on city streets -- and utterly unstoppable off road. It will also cruise comfortably at highway speeds. This D90 has all new shocks and springs with a 40 mm lift (that equates to a very subtle 1.5 inches over stock). Tires are brand new (with matching spare). Mileage, at just under 83,000 miles, is believed to be correct. We have service records dating back to 1996.

The overall effect is a no-excuses, very impressive Defender with incredible attention to detail and build quality.Restoration photos and British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified copy of a factory record available here.If you can find a nicer one for the money, buy it. Rear jump seats and speakers available at reasonable cost. We welcome you or your inspector. Domestic and international shipping available.

Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO

Tue, Jul 28 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."

Jaguar Land Rover mulling factory in Georgia?

Sat, Feb 7 2015

London's Sunday Times reported last October that Jaguar-Land Rover was sniffing around The South looking for a potential manufacturing site, and was "talking to several southern states." We imagine Georgia was one of them; The Peach State has Kia Motors Manufacturing in West Point, it claims Porsche HQ as a resident, and soon the Mercedes-Benz regional office, too. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has said that Governor Nathan Deal recently took the initiative to fly to the UK to "make prospect calls" with JLR executives about a deal. We don't have any details about the calls, but we'll guess that they involved Deal making a financial case for GA over other states while sipping a cup of tea. It's said that the English luxury maker wants to build a factory here with a 200,000-unit capacity, to take advantage of the same financial efficiencies that have planted other automakers in the US and Mexico; it opened a facility in China last year to build the Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XE, and is casting eyes over Brazilian and Saudi Arabian soil for other facilities. No timetable has been given for a decision.

Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car

Tue, Sep 26 2017

Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand — along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table — maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay — to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
