A very much sought after Defender with one of the very best Land Rover engines produced.

I genuinely do not know where to begin with this Defender..... You are looking at by far the very best 1997 left hand drive 110 defender available for sale in the world today!! This defender is entirely authentic in every way and absolutely stunning. The paintwork is original and so are the decals. Please study the pictures, there are very small blemishes in the paint however I would not re-paint this Defender as this removes it authenticity. By blemishes, I mean very very small, me being extremely harsh comparing this Defender to my own 2014 model. This Defender has a contrasting white roof which in my opinion is very iconic and extremely desirable. There is also a roof rack as you can see included within the sale. 

This Defender has spent many many years in a gorgeous beautiful warm climate and the chassis is superb, has never been welded, has no corrosion and is in impeccable condition. Again please study the pictures to see first hand just how beautiful the chassis is. Again, I could and would love to talk all day with regards to the condition however pictures really do speak for themselves.  

The Engine is in fine working order and has been fully serviced, there are no leaks, damage, nasty noises and so on! This Defender engine is not declared 'ran in' in terms of its mileage. I have included a picture of the engine from the very first day I returned to the UK in her just for you to see prior to the service and clean up just how great a condition this defender was in. 

Interior wise this Defender is equipped with 9 seats all trimmed in exceptional original genuine cloth! The seats have no damage, rips or tears and again please study the pictures... I do not need to say any more. Other than, you have original factory ice cold AC, gorgeous grey carpets, as new door cards and mouldings, just as you would expect form any vehicle with such low mileage that has genuinely been loved and cared for. 

I have priced this Defender very sensibly and am not looking for greedy figures often tried for by others. This Defender is priced to sell, shall not be around for long therefore get your offers in quick before an enthusiast or collector snap her up. Please, no silly offers. I am not wasting your time by offering you for sale this stunning Defender so in turn please do not waste mine. 

I have here in hand the UK V5 (title) service history, receipts, invoices and and a full UK MOT (yearly inspection certificate of road worthiness).

Shipping is included within the price to your chosen port of entry however importation duties and tax are not. These shall be payable by yourself upon entry and your importation Agent can advise and handle all of this for you, if you have not got an agent, do not panic, let me know and I shall happily send you details of the agents in Canada previous customers have used and also pass on details of our shipping parties. Should you also wish to speak with customers who have purchased and imported Defenders from myself then please ask. 

With regards to my 0 feedback, I am new to advertising on eBay and obviously being UK based I have had to set up a new account. Please do not let this put you off and again, take note of the above statement.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
