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's InMotion takes a stab at carsharing
Wed, Apr 13 2016Jaguar Land Rover's new InMotion mobility business aims to capitalize on the growing carsharing boom and develop other forms of alternative transportation. The first pilot programs kick off in the coming months in North America, Europe, and Asia. JLR owns InMotion, but the company acts independently from the automaker. "As a start-up business, InMotion combines the flexibility and pace needed to compete in the ever-changing mobility sector. It allows us to react quickly to new tech and ever-changing customer demands," Adrian Hallmark, JLR's Group Strategy Director, said in a statement. The 30-person firm intends to develop its own answers to upcoming transport problems and also invest in entrepreneurs to develop those solutions. InMotion isn't yet providing many details about what projects the firm expects to tackle, but the Website mentions carsharing and on-demand delivery services. Establishing InMotion shows that JLR doesn't want to fall behind the current trends in the auto industry. Practically every major automaker is currently pursuing future transportation ideas. For example, Ford recently took a very similar approach when it spun off Smart Mobility into a separate startup. BMW also rebranded its DriveNow carsharing service into ReachNow to also add a future ridesharing service.

Jaguar Land Rover rescues British off-road tuner Bowler
Wed, Dec 18 2019Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicles Operation (SVO) rescued British off-road tuner Bowler from an uncertain fate. The firm has worked with Land Rover in the past, but it has always been independent. While JLR isn't in an ideal position to make acquisitions, and its recent financial troubles are well documented, Bowler was on the brink of shutting down. The small, 34-year old company had entered administration, and the 26 people it employed risked losing their jobs. Monetary details haven't been released, meaning we don't know how much Bowler was worth, but the firm pointed out it's now fully owned by SVO. It joins SV, Vehicle Personalization, and Classic as the division's fourth pillar. It's too early to tell precisely where Bowler will fit in the JLR latticework, because the initial focus will be on stabilizing the company. It will remain based in Belper, England, and every member of its full-time staff has been offered a position as a JLR employee. Bowler made a name for itself by turning the original Defender into a rally car, and Land Rover said the expertise it acquired during decades of racing is highly sought after, so that's a hint we'll see more hardcore models developed jointly by the two companies sooner or later. The new Defender would lend itself well to the Bowler treatment. The Bowler name could replace the SVX nameplate used on the stillborn, V8-powered Discovery, for example. The tuner's focus on off-pavement performance means we're unlikely to see a Bowler-badged Jaguar, but anything is possible as global demand for SUVs (especially quick ones) continues to rise. What's certain is that, once Bowler is stable, it will grow bigger.
