This is a very rare opportunity to own an original UK owned Defender with excellent history documentation and loyal care. I purchased the truck from the previous owner who moved to California just over a year ago from the UK, and brought his Defender Stateside with him. It just had a complete 90k service including a new timing belt as recommended per Land Rover service schedule. The truck is very solid with zero rust causing cancer!! Rear crossmember, bulkhead, and door bottoms in excellent condition- all of which are notorious culprits for the development of rust. The Defender runs excellent,starts first time every time, and gets in excess of 25 mpg consistently!! This is the model that created Land Rover's legendary reputation.
I do have a full rollcage, many various seats, offroad accessories, etc that can be purchased by the new owner should he/she desire.

So, why am I selling? I had purchased the Defender with the anticipation of adding jump seats or a rear bench seat, and using it for family camping trips and such as that- trips to the coast, etc. Top up or down, no worries!! However, we are toting much more equipment than the truck can handle- kayaks, skim boards, surf boards, etc as well as camping equipment for four. The vehicle could easily be modified to carry it all, but the condition of the truck makes it offensive to me to alter it. Originally it was just me and my son, but the wife and daughters love the Defender, as do the dogs, and everyone wants to join the fun. So, we are back to an Excursion, much to our dismay- but fear not, as we are working on a Defender 130 that will accommodate all of us AND our equipment ;-)

Please take a look at all the pictures, as it shows the truck in several configurations- all the same truck, on the same day- yesterday!! It is the epitome of an adult erector set, and consequently can be used year around for nearly any task- and with loads of fun doing them!! Also, the last picture shows a sample of the documentation showing annual milage and inspections from the rigorous MOT in the UK, and last years tax stamps- great documentation!!

I am a certified Land Rover fanatic- just take a look at theRVRbarn for just a few pictures of my previous trucks on the SOLD page. Quite an obsession...

Lastly, please realize this listing is to sell a vehicle. Consequently, your bid is a binding offer to purchase- not take a look/see or test drive. However, should you be so inclined, prebid inspection is certainly permitted and encouraged!! These Defenders are not Escalades- in fact, quite the opposite. But they are legendary for the proper application and personality type who pursues outdoor activities of any type. As such, if you have less than 10 Feedback replies or a Feedback score less than 100%, your bid will be cancelled if you do not contact me prior to bidding. This is a sincere listing, and trust you will treat like wise.

Thanks for looking, and all the best with your bidding!!

Jaguar Land Rover opening its first U.S.-based classic center in Georgia

Sun, Aug 19 2018

Jaguar Land Rover Classic currently operates two of its Works Centres, one in Coventry, England and the other in Essen-Kettwig, Germany (pictured). Just in time for Pebble Beach, the English carmaker has announced that it will bring its first facility to the United States next year, having signed a deal to open the latest Works operation in Savannah, Georgia. To be located in the Crossroads Business Park near Gulfstream Aerospace, the facility will engage in the sales, service, and restoration of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles out of production for at least ten years. The 150,000-square-foot Coventry site opened two years ago and is said to be the largest dedicated factory workshop of its kind (the largest unaffiliated shop is in the Philippines). Jaguar builds its continuation cars there, like the D-Type and XKSS, while Land Rover uses it to build the Defender Works V8. Shoppers can also buy vintage models off the showroom floor, a variation of the Certified Pre-Owned program called Works Legends, that come with a 12-month warranty. Or, Jaguar Land Rover will locate, restore, and maintain one of the classic company products that a buyer chooses. In the UK, a Land Rover Series 1 starts at around $90,000, a Jaguar E-Type starts at around $400,000. The 48,000 Essen-Kettwig center opened last year with the same brief, and the U.S. center can provide those services to the world's largest classic car market. Construction on the 75,000-square-foot complex is scheduled to begin next August, and the facility will include a 42-bay workshop and showroom. The automaker will invest from $10 to $15 million, and predicts more than $45 million in revenue. Savannah Economic Development Authority President and CEO Trip Tollison told The Savannah Morning News that JLR will hire 75 workers at a starting salary of $80,000.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
