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.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?
Tue, 01 Jul 2014At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.
Jaguar Land Rover is going to call itself 'JLR' and spin off brands
Wed, Apr 19 2023Embracing the current popular philosophy that less is more, the executives at Jaguar Land Rover plan to officially rename their company “JLR” and to create a new “house of brands” that will emphasize name equity and refocus its vehicle offerings. In simple terms, the British-based, India-owned company will split into four separate brands: Range Rover, Discovery, Defender and Jaguar. While this shift may appear to be essentially a function of marketing and dealership bookkeeping, the over-arching reason is to give some of the brands more visibility. Details of the plan, which would reconfigure showrooms in Britain into discrete brand footprints, were discussed this week at a presentation by JLR CEO Adrian Mardell. “The reality is Range Rover is a brand and so is Defender,’” said creative officer Gerry McGovern. “Customers say they own a Range Rover. In luxury, you need absolute clarity. Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography doesnÂ’t give it. We love Land Rover, but there isn't as much equity as Range Rover, and Defender is increasing massively.” Underlying the effort is plans to reinvent Jaguar as an electric-only luxury brand, Mardell said that this was “unfinished business” for him since he joined Jaguar 32 years ago. “The Jaguar of 32 years ago is where weÂ’re going back to and the right place for us to be." He further acknowledged that JLR had been “quiet” recently in the face of semiconductor chip shortages, but allowed that that situation was easing at his company.
