A very much sought after Defender with one of the very best Land Rover engines produced.

I genuinely do not know where to begin with this Defender..... You are looking at by far the very best 1997 left hand drive 110 defender available for sale in the world today!! This defender is entirely authentic in every way and absolutely stunning. The paintwork is original and so are the decals. Please study the pictures, there are very small blemishes in the paint however I would not re-paint this Defender as this removes it authenticity. By blemishes, I mean very very small, me being extremely harsh comparing this Defender to my own 2014 model. This Defender has a contrasting white roof which in my opinion is very iconic and extremely desirable. There is also a roof rack as you can see included within the sale. 

This Defender has spent many many years in a gorgeous beautiful warm climate and the chassis is superb, has never been welded, has no corrosion and is in impeccable condition. Again please study the pictures to see first hand just how beautiful the chassis is. Again, I could and would love to talk all day with regards to the condition however pictures really do speak for themselves.  

The Engine is in fine working order and has been fully serviced, there are no leaks, damage, nasty noises and so on! This Defender engine is not declared 'ran in' in terms of its mileage. I have included a picture of the engine from the very first day I returned to the UK in her just for you to see prior to the service and clean up just how great a condition this defender was in. 

Interior wise this Defender is equipped with 9 seats all trimmed in exceptional original genuine cloth! The seats have no damage, rips or tears and again please study the pictures... I do not need to say any more. Other than, you have original factory ice cold AC, gorgeous grey carpets, as new door cards and mouldings, just as you would expect form any vehicle with such low mileage that has genuinely been loved and cared for. 

I have priced this Defender very sensibly and am not looking for greedy figures often tried for by others. This Defender is priced to sell, shall not be around for long therefore get your offers in quick before an enthusiast or collector snap her up. Please, no silly offers. I am not wasting your time by offering you for sale this stunning Defender so in turn please do not waste mine. 

I have here in hand the UK V5 (title) service history, receipts, invoices and and a full UK MOT (yearly inspection certificate of road worthiness).

Shipping is included within the price to your chosen port of entry however importation duties and tax are not. These shall be payable by yourself upon entry and your importation Agent can advise and handle all of this for you, if you have not got an agent, do not panic, let me know and I shall happily send you details of the agents in Canada previous customers have used and also pass on details of our shipping parties. Should you also wish to speak with customers who have purchased and imported Defenders from myself then please ask. 

With regards to my 0 feedback, I am new to advertising on eBay and obviously being UK based I have had to set up a new account. Please do not let this put you off and again, take note of the above statement.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The 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.

Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection

Mon, Feb 19 2018

A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.
