For sale by owner: 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon, Coniston Green. It's a very clean and very sweet vehicle. If this is what you are looking for then you know what it is and how rare they are, especially the wagon. There were 1,000 D90 Wagons imported in 1997 and a third of them were the Coniston Green.This thing is a machine that's built like a tank and moves like a mountain goat, there is nowhere it can't go. I purchased this when it had just under 76K miles and have the title in hand. I put the several upgrades that the D90 requires to be truly badass and still maintain the stock integrity of a collector's item. See list the $12K worth of upgrades below:

- Old Man EMU full suspension, springs and shocks.
- True-trac limited slip front differential.
- Detroit locker rear differential.
- Great basin rovers 4.11 ring and pinion, front and rear. (Not a race car but a vast improvement over the very slow stock gearing)
- Great Basin Rovers Heavy duty rear axles.
- Mantec Snorkel and K&N air filter.
- Mantec heavy duty rear tire carrier. (took the weight of spare off of the rear door)
- Expeditionware roof rack double jerry can holder with 2 red Jerry cans and siphon. (Must have as LR put a 15.6 gallon tank on the D90)
- Safari Gard Front winch bumper and lower skid plate.
- Superwinch EP 9.0 Planetary winch with roller fairlead, snatch block included. (Dual batteries installed under driver seat for winch power)
- East Coast Rover rear LED light kit, looks identical to stock, never have to change a bulb again, (Big defender problem solved!).
- Exmoor trim rear side bench seats, (still have the 4 individual seats and will be re-installing them before sale).
- Exmoor trim tan canvas seat covers, front. (Bomber canvas, indestructible)
- New Goodyear MT/R Mud terrains tires, about 6K miles on them, matching spare.
- Hella headlights with H4 bulbs. (Can be replaced with a 100W high beam bulb)
- Hella Black Magic off-road light on front bumper.
- Kenwood stereo/CD, XM capable, Infinity speakers.

It has a new Mobile 1 synthetic oil change last week and diffs were done 3K ago. Brakes were done in the last 5K. I have all receipts and maintenance records during my ownership and the previous owner. I treated her great and she took care of me. In the pics you can see at each door corner the typical rust/oxidation D90s obtain, not integrity issues of the door, outlast you. Feel free to ask any specific Q's you may have….

Thieves stole $3.7 million worth of Jaguar Land Rover engines

Fri, Feb 3 2017

This past Tuesday was not a good one for Jaguar Land Rover. According to British news source Birmingham Mail, just over $3.7 million worth of engines were stolen from the company's factory in Solihull, England. Reportedly, the thieves drove up to the facility in a stolen semi-truck, found a trailer full of engines, hooked it up, and drove off. The thieves did this twice in one night, with the same truck, and got the first trailer in just six minutes. Perhaps more shocking is that Birmingham Mail reports this is the second time a theft of this type has occurred at the facility. The previous time happened in almost exactly the same way, but the engines taken were valued at just over $1.2 million, and five people were convicted of the crime. Currently, local police are looking for the latest suspects and the engines. The trailers were found, but were empty. We got in touch with a Jaguar representative who provided us the company's official statement: "We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing." This was the only statement he would provide, and didn't provide answers as to what engines were stolen and if there would be any impact on manufacturing or vehicle deliveries. But if you're in the UK, and you've got a tip, let the cops know.

Audi considers a rugged SUV — maybe on the Scout platform

Fri, Jan 27 2023

Audi engineers are formulating plans to possibly build a “super saloon” luxury off-roader SUV in 2027, It would compete in a segment that now includes the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, according to a report in BritainÂ’s Autocar. According to Audi designer Marc Lichte, quoted in the story, the platform for the new model could be borrowed from the Volkswagen GroupÂ’s recently announced sister brand, Scout Motors, which is currently developing electric-powered concepts and prototypes. While Audi has developed a PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture for its base EV lineup, that would be replaced in the planned model with ScoutÂ’s ladder chassis to provide the steep departure angles and ground clearance needed to negotiate tough terrain, as well as with the latest generation of AudiÂ’s Quattro four-wheel-drive technology, Autocar reports. Audi is well into development of its Activesphere project, an enticing design blend of coupe and hatchback. The Activesphere uses PPE, co-developed by Audi and Porsche, and will appear in a production Audi product by the end of this year. Audi says. Beyond that, “I think there is space" for a rugged SUV in AudiÂ’s passenger car lineup,  Lichte said. “There is potential because there are only two premium players” in this particular segment" (Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover) “and I think there is a space for a third one.” The upscale Defender was by far Land RoverÂ’s best-selling car last year, with 66,805 sold, and the G-Class set a new sales record the previous year with 41,174 moved worldwide. Audi obviously would like to capitalize on this popularity of the rugged 4x4 segment. The proposed competitor, said Lichte, “will not look like a G-Class and it will not look like a Defender, I can promise you. It will be something else."

Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation

Thu, May 3 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.
