we did a rare find. The London police department decided to let go of their
beloved Land Rover Defender 110 which was their show vehicle for 27 years. It
was a gift by Land Rover in the late 1980’s to get exposure in the London area.
It was dry stored all the time and serviced by Land Rover specialists which
shows! When we bought
it, it was in an excellent state. No rust at all, very well treated and
serviced. The chassis looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Although it
was in this condition we did a full rebuild on the engine, due to its age. We
gave her new brakes all around, new suspension and shocks and lots of other parts
that showed marks of age. Therefore we can guarantee that she’ll have an
excellent second life in the US. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS (see pictures!!) Engine:
Complete Rebuild, all new or restored parts Brakes: All
new brakes around. Discs, calipers, pads, etc. Suspension: New
spring and new heavy duty shocks all around Drivetrain Oils: All
new. Gearbox, transfer box, axles, diffs, etc. Chassis:
Already in mint condition, see pictures! The Engine The 3.5 V8
engine is a very reliable and easy to maintain engine. It was developed many
years back so when installed in the Defender it was a fully developed and
popular engine. It isn’t the most powerful power source in the world, but it
pulls good and takes you everywhere. We carried out a complete engine overhaul.
All gaskets new, lubricants fresh, sparkplugs and leads, and so on. The Transmission She has a 5
speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent.
No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it
should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and
differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and
next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum
body and paintwork are in a very good condition. Of course you can see here and
there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. But for a 27 year old
vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust
free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is
pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the
locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly
looked after. The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. The Chassis The complete
chassis is in mint condition (see pictures). It is hard and strong as to expect
from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance
that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the London
police department. The chassis
number or VIN is clearly visible. US VIN decoders won't recognize this VIN
because it's a European VIN. The VIN is: SALLDHMV7BA278219
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are in a
very good and original condition. All have good quality seat belts. The tires The Defender has
got 4 good all terrain tires and a spare on the rear door. The tires are perfect
for road use and not too heavy terrain. If you want to go into heavy terrain
with sand, mud and dirt, it is to be advised to put a set of mud tires on it. Service It has just got
a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box
and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in
excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT,
EPA and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to
a lot of Defenders for sale on eBay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary
paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist
with the titling as we have got the experience. If preferred, for
transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Contact me for more
details and quotes. Deposit We require a
deposit of $500, - within 24 hours after the end of auction.

Jaguar Land Rover posts profitable quarter amidst big yearly losses
Mon, May 20 2019Jaguar has posted its first profit in quite some time, as the financial quarter ending on March 31 brought in a net income of $151.6 million. However, that is the light in the end of the tunnel, as full year results through March showed a $4.58 billion loss (GBP3.6 billion). The losses are again attributable to declining sales in China, with a whiff of the still-lingering Brexit process. While JLR's annual U.S. sales were up 8.1 percent, and U.K. sales improved by 8.4%, overall sales came down 5.8% to 578,915 vehicles. For April, Chinese sales nearly halved as they dropped by 46 percent. Earlier this year, JLR's woes caused its owner Tata Motors to post the biggest ever quarterly loss in Indian corporate history, at nearly $4 billion. JLR's CEO Ralf Speth stated that the company is "reducing complexity" and transforming its business by cost savings and cash flow improvements, citing the fourth-quarter profits as an example of the ongoing turnaround. Speth said JLR has already managed to deliver $1.59 billion (GBP1.25 billion) of efficiencies and savings. JLR says its turnaround program, dubbed Charge, will drive it to at least $3.18 billion (GBP2.5 billion) of investment, working capital and profit improvements by March 2020, and that it currently has $4.84 billion (GBP3.8 billion) of cash. Speth continued that JLR will "go forward as a transformed company that's leaner and fitter," and that the sustained investment in new products and technologies will drive future demand. There has been earlier speculation of Tata Motors selling JLR to the PSA Group, but as Autocar reports, Tata's financial chief again refuted these rumors. JLR also announced today that its CFO of 11 years, Ken Gregor is stepping down after 22 years with the company, and that he will be succeeded by JLR's Chief Transformation Officer, Adrian Mardell.
Jaguar Land Rover might buy another luxury brand that it doesn't need
Mon, Sep 25 2017It seems that Jaguar Land Rover may be getting bigger in the near future. According to Bloomberg, the company is looking at acquiring some tech companies, and possibly yet another luxury car brand, provided that it fits with the current lineup of cars. On the surface, this makes some sense since Bloomberg reports that a whopping 78 percent of Tata Motors' revenue comes from luxury brands. And of course, any kind of tech acquisition could be useful considering the rapid development of electric and autonomous vehicles. But dig a little deeper, and a possible luxury brand acquisition just doesn't make sense for Jaguar Land Rover. The main reason for this is that the Jaguar and Land Rover brands have the luxury market thoroughly covered. Both brands offer full luxury lines from entry-level to high-end ( Discovery Sport to Range Rover on the Land Rover side, and XE to XJ on the Jaguar side). They also cater to every kind of luxury, from sporty vehicles such as the F-Type and SVR Land Rovers, to cushy luxury machines such as the XJ and Range Rover. So whether the company is competing with BMW or Mercedes, Jaguar and Land Rover have the bases covered. There aren't any other typical luxury brands that would actually add anything to the current lineup. In fact, adding another conventional luxury brand could actually result in the new brand poaching existing Jaguar and Land Rover buyers, rather than picking up new ones. What would make more sense for Jaguar Land Rover would be to pick up either a more mainstream brand, or an ultra-luxury marque. Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has something that competes directly with the likes of Ford or Toyota in the mainstream game, or Rolls-Royce or Bentley at the top of the luxury heap. Picking up a brand in one of these segments would allow JLR and Tata Motors to actually expand offerings and pick up more sales, rather than having an internal competitor. What path would be ideal? Probably going even farther upmarket. Supercar makers and ultra-luxury brands continue to sell well, and there's the potential for significant profit by layering on features and content to existing platforms. Perhaps the best possibility for a high-end complement to Jaguar Land Rover would be Aston Martin. Not only does it have a strong reputation and line-up, it also could handle both supercars and luxury sedans, thanks to its Lagonda sub brand. Of course it would require Aston Martin to be receptive to a purchase.
Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]
Mon, Dec 15 2014Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.
