Location:

I bought this Land Rover in England in 2008 and had it taken to a Land Rover repair shop there and had a large amount of work done, over 30,000.00 US. It is a 1984 County Model 110 Defender but because of Ebay's system it is listed as a 1980. Right hand drive. 5 Speed. No A/C. Manual Steering. I have receipts for all work done. The following is a list off the top of my head what I had done: Replace complete chassis with new galvanized model'/Replace shocks and springs with Bilsteins /Install complete stainless exhaust system /Replace rear side doors with new ones. Replace steel bulkhead /Replace fuel tank / Replace door and windshield gaskets/ Replace radiator, all rubber in engine compartment, clutch,water pump, injectors,brake lines, filters and most nuts and bolts/ New door steps/ New Cubby Box/ New Bumper/ Re spray as the Brit's say. This vehicle was taken to bits and completely re assembled ! I have put about 10,000 miles on this Rover since I bought it in 2008. I have spent most of the last six years working overseas and have not had the opportunity to drive it much. I generally drive my FJ Cruiser in the Winter. The top speed on this vehicle is about 68-70, that's it, but it will do that all day. It is slow uphill but speed is not a Land Rover virtue. I have an extra set of original pressed steel wheels that will be included along with new halogen H4 headlights. This is a great vehicle to drive as is or maybe upgrade to a Turbo Diesel in the future. I will miss this vehicle,it has just about everything that every other vehicle on the road does not have, too much philosophy to go into here. I am not a dealer and am obviously not making money on this transaction but I did learn a few things about Rovers during this "Restoration" , First is, all older Rovers from England are rusty ! If you don't replace the chassis with a galvanized one you are just putting off the event. The second is, If you buy a Rover from someone importing it to the states for re sale it is definitely Buyer Beware as their motivation is maximum profits at your expense |

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
