1997 Defender 110 Lhd, Diesel With Automatic And A/c on 2040-cars
Sisters, Oregon, United States
We have had this truck for almost 10 years and the wife decided she wanted me to build her something different so we are going to let the green beast have a new home. Truck was imported through a registered importer by the previous owner. This is a factory 1997 LHD Defender with 300tdi engine. Ebay doesn't recognize the VIN: SALLDHM68VA109087 After buying the truck the following items were done: -new doors -rebuilt axles -conversion to rebuilt automatic transmission and transfer case---with proper interior console -all new bushing, OME spring and Bilstein shocks. -full width intercooler added, larger turbo, head rebuilt, aluminum radiator -second fuel tank added under passenger seat -carpet removed and linex applied to all areas that were carpeted -Color change --full repaint to Willow Green -new door seals and window seals -second a/c system added under passenger seats -rear Webasto diesel heater -new rear cross member and fuel tank -waxoil applied to frame and inside of doors -MUD Defender Counsel for mounting the radio in the dash---ipod capable radio -pyrometer and boost gauges -ARB front bumper---no winch -folding side steps -led park and turn signals -stainless mounting hardware for doors and roll cage -tinted windows
Truck originally had about 80,000 miles on it, after the partial restoration and change to the automatic transmission the speedometer was replaced with a new unit and shows the mileage since the restoration which is roughly 59,000 miles. Other features the truck has are: -rear wiper and defrost -load adjustable head lights -sun roof -a/c front and rear -seating and seat belts for 9 people -Snorkel -full roll cage
This truck will not win any speed races, but will take you places that few vehicles can. I would drive this vehicle anywhere…again not in any hurry, but she has never let us down. The transmission was just serviced and new lines were put to the transmission cooler as one was seeping. New air filter was installed. Currently getting between 20mpg to 24mpg depending on how hard you press the little pedal and will run on biodiesel. Paint is not perfect with a few rock chips and dings here and there, but still has a great shine. Interior dash has a few small cracks but no major imperfection. Has a free and clear title in my name which states it is a 1997 Defender. Truck is being sold AS IS. If you are in California you need to do your own research as to whether this truck can be registered there. This truck will be missed, but it also gives me an excuse to start another project when she is gone….so happy bidding.

Land Rover could build a baby Defender on a platform sourced from BMW
Mon, Aug 12 2019The collaboration between BMW and Jaguar-Land Rover started out small, it was originally limited to motors for electric cars, but it might not stay that way for long. The Tata-owned British sister companies will allegedly rummage through Munich's sizable parts bin to build nearly half a dozen cars scheduled to come out during the 2020s. According to a report by British magazine Autocar, Jaguar has started designing two small cars that will join its growing family of Pace-badged soft-roaders. They'll be new additions to the firm's portfolio, not replacements for existing cars. One will be a regular crossover, while the other will be a swoopier, form-over-function four-door model ostensibly marketed as a coupe. Both will slot at the very bottom of the Jaguar portfolio, below the already pretty small E-Pace, in a growing market segment where the competition is fierce, and profit margins are thinner than an i3's tires. Here's where BMW apparently comes in. Instead of developing a platform from scratch, the two crossovers could ride on the hybrid-ready, front-wheel drive FAAR architecture found under the third-generation 1 Series hatchback and the upcoming 2 Series Gran Coupe. If we believe an earlier report claiming Jaguar and BMW will also share engines, most of the hardware found under the sheet metal will have German genes. All-wheel drive will certainly be available, and it could also come from BMW. The same platform -- and, presumably, the same engines -- would provide the basis for a Land Rover-badged model positioned in the same segment. Autocar learned it will be to the next-generation Defender (pictured) what the Mercedes-Benz GLB is to the G-Class. Some key design cues will carry over, but the two models will share absolutely nothing under the sheet metal. The soft-roader could resurrect the Freelander nameplate when it goes on sale during the 2020s. Looking even further ahead, the front-wheel-drive platform the next Mini Countryman and X1 will utilize could find its way under the replacements for the next Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport. These plans could very well change; the Evoque and the Disco Sport barely entered their second generation, so they're not due for a replacement until the second half of the coming decade. While neither company has confirmed or denied the report, the partnership makes sense from a business standpoint.
UK car output falls 14% in March, may get worse with no-deal Brexit
Tue, Apr 30 2019LONDON — British car output fell for the 10th month in a row in March, hit by a slowdown in key foreign markets, and the sector stands to suffer a lot more if the country leaves the European Union without a deal, an industry body said on Tuesday. Output tumbled by an annual 14.4 percent to 126,195 cars in March, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said. Exports, which account for nearly four out of every five cars made in Britain, were down by 13.4 percent. The SMMT said analysis it had commissioned predicted output would fall this year to 1.36 million units from 1.52 million in 2018, assuming London can secure a transition deal with the EU. If Britain has to rely instead on World Trade Organization rules for its trade with the bloc, which include import tariffs, output is forecast to fall by around 30 percent to 1.07 million units in 2021, returning to mid-1980s levels, the SMMT said. The forecasts were produced for SMMT by AutoAnalysis, a consultancy. Prime Minister Theresa May has secured a delay to the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31, giving her more time to try to break an impasse in parliament over the terms of Britain's departure from the EU. Foreign minister Jeremy Hunt traveled to Japan earlier this month to try to persuade the Japanese government and Toyota, which has a big presence in Britain, that London was determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit. "Just a few years ago, industry was on track to produce 2 million cars by 2020 — a target now impossible with Britain's reputation as stable and attractive business environment undermined," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said. "All parties must find a compromise urgently so we can set about repairing the damage and diverting energy and investment to the technological challenges that will define the future of the global industry."

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
