Up for auction is my NAS Defender 90, #1574. I had hoped to keep this car forever, however we have found a house that we'd like to buy and naturally my play toy gets sacrificed (per wife's orders). This Rover had been in an accident back in 2006 and sat in a garage for 6 years when I bought it. The front passenger fender was damaged along with the air conditioning condenser and freon lines. All these items were replaced with new ones. There is no body filler (Bondo) on the car. I then had the entire Rover repainted, only after I removed just about everything off of it (doors, door latches, hinges, full roll cage, all signals and lights, grill, bonnet, tire carrier, tailgate, door rubber seals, etc) so that there would be no overspray (again I hoped to keep it forever and wanted it done right). I re-assembled as much as I could with stainless steel bolts (door hinges, bonnet hinges, front grill, headlight surrounds, body to rear crossmember, etc). Then the Rover was wet sanded, compounded, and polished for a nice smooth finish. I replaced all signals with new ones (originals were somewhat cloudy), replace all four wheel spats (originals had become dull). The Rover looks great, and more importantly it runs and drives great. It drives well at highway speeds and doesn't shimmy, or pull to one side, etc. The engine is nice and powerful and doesn't smoke, burn oil, etc. the automatic transmission is nice and smooth and shifts as it should. The soft top is in good shape with only one small 1/2" tear at the top of the rear window (could easily be patched if desired, it doesn't let in water so I didn't worry about it). The interior is in good shape with no tears on any of the seats, no cracks in the dashboard, etc. It has a nice set of Goodyear tires with I'd guess 90% tread left (matching spare tire that has never been on the ground). The heat and air-conditioning both work well. I installed a Sony cd stereo, however I will include the original Land Rover cassette stereo with the sale. There is essentially no rust on the frame, bulkhead or rear crossmember. The drivers door has a very small amount on the bottom door frame, the passenger side door has none. The battery box has no rust as well. The original jack, wheel lug wrench, and tools are still there and have never been used. I am embarrassed to say that this Rover has never been off-roading, but I guess that's a good thing. The Defender only has 50,360 original miles on it. When I bought it, like almost all '97 Defenders, the digital odometer would scramble back and forth between jumble and the correct millage. I sent the entire speedometer off to Hollywood Clock and Speedometer Shop, they verified the millage and repaired the digital screen (I have the paperwork documenting this). Please look at the Carfax report to validate this in the "state inspection field". Unfortunately when I bought the Rover the business that sold it to me could not read the odometer and they checked "not actual" millage and the Virginia DMV would not make the correction. Feel free to email or call me with questions, my number is 540-598-8331, and I will walk around it with you on the phone and describe every detail. I welcome and encourage anyone interested to come see/drive it in person before bidding, if you're long distant, I will happily pick you up at the Roanoke Airport. This truly is an awesome Defender, these things are amazingly capable of going just about anywhere, just point and go. I hope to be as forthright and honest in my representing it as possible. ***IMPORTANT: the Warn winch is not included in the auction**** This is a used car and therefore is sold AS-IS. Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping, however I am happy to drop it off at any local shipping depot. $1000.00 deposit through Paypal at auction end, the balance at pickup. The Defender is also for sale locally, therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830
Fri, May 3 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
