Salem, Virginia, United States

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.

Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings

Mon, Jun 15 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Jaguar Land Rover to recall 44,000 vehicles over excessive diesel emissions

Thu, Mar 14 2019

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 44,000 vehicles in the U.K. due to some of its vehicles emitting higher CO2 emissions than were officially stated. The recall is said to affect vehicles equipped with JLR's 2.0-liter diesel engine in cars built between 2014 and 2018. Quite a few models are affected, including the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, along with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport. The excessive CO2 emissions were discovered by the British vehicle certification agency, who then reported it to JLR. The company is reportedly working on a fix that will satisfy the agency and bring the cars back in line with their stated CO2 emissions. As of now, JLR is not saying what the fix will entail. A statement from JLR reads: "The modifications will be made free of charge, and every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the customer." The U.K. magazine Which? said JLR told them owners might experience minor changes to the "overall vehicle experience." Reading between the lines there, that sounds like there could be some pretty serious tampering with the engine software, but we'll leave the speculation to a minimum for now. CO2 emissions numbers are used in the U.K. to set tax levels for vehicles, which means JLR could have gotten out of some taxation with its artificially low CO2 numbers. At this point we don't know how badly the numbers are off, so it's impossible to know how egregious the mislabeling is. There also isn't any explanation for why the CO2 numbers are off, but this is all information that could be forthcoming. The 44,000 number could rise, too, because the UK vehicle standards agency says that some gasoline models could also be involved. That would open a whole new can of worms for JLR. Some Jaguar vehicles (XE, XF and F-Pace) offer a 2.0-liter diesel option for the U.S., but Land Rover's only diesel it sells here now is the 3.0-liter V6. For the time being there's no recall out on the diesel or gas engines from JLR in the U.S. There's no chatter surrounding emissions cheat devices like those involved with Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal. Nor does the scale of whatever the problem is come anywhere near the amount of Volkswagen diesels that needed to be recalled or taken off the roads. We'll be keeping tabs on the situation to see if this expands any further than the U.K. Green Recalls Jaguar Land Rover SUV Diesel Vehicles Luxury Sedan
