My kids and I will be sad to see it go. Would like to see it go to a tender loving Canadian family or farm... It would make a nice advertisement platform for a small business owner or a nice expedition truck!

This is an original Euro specs 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 TDI. It is the left hand drive version (the correct side for Canada and USA). Has a strong running diesel engine, no leaks. It's the base model with manual windows, 5 speed manual transmission, no A/C. Has a pop-up sunroof. 

Has been garage kept since I own it. I imported it myself from Europe. I was planning to restore it completely. 

- 300TDI Engine starts easily. 5 speed manual transmission and transfer case shift as it should. 
- The engine bay is very clean, has no weird noise, no fume, nothing is loose. Very clean. 
- Drives straight. Easily reach 115KM on Highway (probably more but I never tried). No vibration, no problems with suspension and steering. 
- 5 nice matching Michelin tires in good condition! 
- All lights and gauges are working. Battery was changed 2 years ago. 
- The seats are clean, the fabric is nice. All seats and seat belts are functional. No rips, no stains. Carpets do have some wear. The headliner is kind of loose and needs cleaning. 
- The roof top shows like it should be reseal. I never took the time to do it since I never used the truck in bad weather. Always garage kept.
- I have a spare rear bumper and frame assembly, that was given to me by the previous owner. I do not think it should be replaced as it involves some cutting and welding on the frame. But would give this part to you if you want it. 
- The truck has some rust (like around doors). A lot less than most Canadian SUV of that year. Nothing is major to me. But would benefit from a complete restoration.The body is mostly aluminium so no rust there. Very solid truck overall. 
- The rear bumper just restored. The old rusty bumper was recap with a plate of steel to pass the local safety inspection.
- I have a spare rear bumper and frame assembly, that was given to me by the previous owner. I do not think it should be replaced as it involves some cutting and welding on the frame. But would give this part to you if you want it. 
- It shown no sign of any prior accident. All serial numbers are matching. This is an honest original truck. 
- The blue paint is faded. Would be nice to have it painted (graphic wrap maybe?) 
- This is not a new truck, but I would drive it right away across the country. 
- Currently, I do not have much time for these trucks. Only issue: Low/High bean are not working. Side markers are not working. These are all on the same relay I believe so it is probably just a relay. All these were working 1 year ago when the truck got safety inspected.

My plan was to use this truck as a daily driver for the next 5 years and then restore it with a new galvanized frame from UK.

I have about 25 pictures and two videos to show on request. 
Reason to sell: I'm selling all my trucks to finance a business project. 
I do not want to loose time with un-serious people. Test drive upon accepted offer only. 

100$ paypal deposit with 24h. I know what it is to buy a car sight unseen. If you are located away and really need a truck like this one, please note I would refund your deposit if not completely satisfied upon seeing the truck for real. No refund if you are not showing.

Note: Defenders are highly valuable in USA. In only 5 years this truck will be a  lot more valuable as it would meet USA 25 year import requirements for out of country classic cars. This Land Rover is like real estate. Basically this investment will not cost you anything, it's taking value with time.Truck is located about 1 hour east of Montreal, Quebec. I do not ship but would help if you need to arrange something. I cannot issue a temporary tag or insurance. I'm not a car dealer. The truck is registered in my business name. Taxes will be according to your location (GST, PST, HST).

Please contact me to discuss further. 

I will also be selling my truck collection including a Unimog 406 and Volvo TGB11 C303 in nice condition.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut thousands of UK jobs

Thu, Jan 10 2019

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is set to cut thousands of jobs as the company faces lower demand in China and a slump in sales of diesel cars in Europe. The central English firm builds a higher proportion of its cars in Britain than any other major or medium-sized carmaker and has also spent millions of pounds preparing for Brexit, in case there are tariffs or customs checks. Britain's business minister Greg Clark said on Thursday it is clear why a no-deal Brexit would add to the problems with further costs and disruption. JLR lost 354 million pounds ($450 million) between April and September 2018 and had already cut around 1,000 roles in Britain, shut its Solihull plant for two weeks and announced a three-day week at its Castle Bromwich site. Its Chief Executive Ralf Speth warned in September that the wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of car jobs and posed a threat to production at the automaker. The Tata Motors-owned company, which employs around 40,000 people in Britain and has boosted its workforce at new plants in China and Slovakia in recent years, unveiled plans to cut costs and improve cash flows by 2.5 billion pounds last year including "reducing employment costs and employment levels." Those cuts will be "substantial" and run into the thousands, the source told Reuters. "The announcement on job losses will be substantial, affecting managerial, research, sales, design," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, not affecting production-line staff "at this stage." The company declined to comment when contacted by Reuters on Thursday. Ford also said on Thursday it will cut thousands of jobs in Europe, exit unprofitable markets and discontinue loss-making vehicle lines as part of a turnaround effort aimed at improving profit margins in the region. Brexit warnings JLR, which became Britain's biggest carmaker in 2016, had been on course to build around 1 million vehicles by the turn of the decade, reported on Thursday a 4.6 percent drop in full-year sales to just under 600,000 vehicles. Demand in China, which had once been one of its strongest countries but has since been hit by a slowdown, fell by 21.6 percent, the biggest drop of any of its markets. "The economic slowdown in China along with ongoing trade tensions is continuing to influence consumer confidence," said Jaguar Land Rover Chief Commercial Officer Felix Brautigam.

Jaguar likely moving HQ to Britain's most iconic racetrack

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Jaguar Land Rover looks increasingly likely to make Britain's iconic Silverstone race track the automaker's new headquarters. There isn't a final deal in place yet, but the British Racing Drivers' Club, which owns the circuit, plans to have the membership vote on whether the negotiations should move forward, according to Autosport. BRDC leaders already presented the plan to members, and they were open to the idea. "The response was favorable so we will now set up an EGM for the members to vote and give the board a mandate to proceed with the deal and continue with the negotiations with JLR," BRDC president Derek Warwick told Autosport. There's no guarantee yet that JLR actually completes the deal. "There's still a lot of work to do to get the deal to where both sides are happy and more importantly what's right for the BRDC and its members." Warwick said. Rumors in early December suggested JLR was among the firms submitting bids to purchase the track, and the automaker allegedly offered 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at the time) for it. The company would also reportedly invest nearly $80 million to renovate the site, including adding a museum, experience center, hotel, and offices. The track would still be open for motorsport, too. Silverstone has hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix many times over the decades, and organizers signed a 17-year deal in 2009 to keep things that way well into the future. Series like the FIA World Endurance Championship, MotoGP, and British Touring Car Championship also compete there. Related Video:

New Land Rover Defender aces Euro crash tests

Wed, Dec 9 2020

While the 2020 Land Rover Defender has not yet been crash-test by U.S. safety agencies such as NHTSA or IIHS, we do now have results for Europe's NCAP crash tests and accident-avoidance tests, where the Defender earned the top rating of five stars. The Defender model used for NCAP testing was the 110 variant with right-hand drive. The NCAP regimen includes several different crash tests: an offset front crash test into a moveable barrier with both the vehicle and the barrier traveling at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a front crash test into a full-width fixed barrier at 50 km/hr (31 mph), a side-impact crash test with a barrier traveling at 60 km/hr (37 mph) hitting the driver's door, and a side-impact test where the car strikes a pole at 32 km/hr (20 mph). The Defender's scores for the adult occupant and for a child occupant were both 85%. Additionally, the agency looks at the severity of injuries of the vehicle striking a pedestrian, taking data for a pedestrian's head hitting the hood, and their upper and lower leg being hit by the front of the vehicle. There is also testing of the vehicle's automatic emergency braking system's ability to avoiding hitting a pedestrian and a cyclist under various scenarios. The efficacy of active-safety systems for avoiding collisions with other vehicles is also tested. The Defender's score for protecting pedestrians and cyclists was 71%. The driver assists scored 79%. Results for several European-market cars were released together with those for the Defender, the most noteworthy of which was for the Honda E. The electric city car fared less well than the big Land Rover, garnering a score of four stars overall. In the same battery of test, the Honda E scored 76% for adult occupant protection, 82% for a child occupant, 62% for protecting pedestrians and cyclists, and 65% for its driver assists.
