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….

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product. Have your say in Comments. Related Video:
