For sale is my NAS Defender 110, #469/500. Alpine white over gray cloth interior. The truck has approximately 7k miles on the odometer. A little history on this truck: #469 has been sold several times now by Copley Motorcars of Needham, MA. The first time they sold the truck was in approximately 2005. At that time it was a clean, lower mileage, stock NAS 110. That owner proceeded to heavily modify the truck. The 3.9 V8 and five speed transmission were removed. In its place was installed a brand new 4.6 V8 with four speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the truck was prepared for off-road use. A heavy-duty ARB bumper was installed with high-lift jack and mounts, as was a Warn 9000 winch, and limb risers. Southdown underbody protection was installed along with rock sliders, and a Mantec snorkel. Other off-road accessories include a Garmin satellite GPS system, CB radio, ARB air compressor (under the passenger seat), and six Hella Rallye lights with rear work light were also installed. Additional upgrades to the interior include full Badger Coachworks seat covers for all seating surfaces. I’m assuming the headliner was replaced as it is in excellent condition. All four doors were replaced and upgraded hinges were installed. The external roll cage and rack were removed and painted black. This owner put approximately 8k miles on the truck and traded it back in to Copley Motorcars. The next owner purchased it from Copley in 2007, parked it in front of his barn, and put 900 miles on it in six years. It was traded back in to Copley and I purchased it in August of this year. As one can imagine, a lot deteriorates when a car is left outside to sit for six years. The paint had turned to chalk, the bulkhead rotted, and the door sills are rough. Surprising, the frame is solid as is the rear cross-member. *HERE IS A LINK TO MANY MORE PICTURES, INCLUDING THE ROUGH SPOTS* What I’ve done: Since I purchased the car, I have thoroughly gone over the vehicle to make it a reliable driver. Initially, I went through the cooling system and replaced the radiator, fan clutch, water pump, and thermostat. The car was then serviced and fluids and filters were changed, and drive belts replaced. The ignition system was gone over and the plugs, cap, rotor, and coil were replaced. Additionally, the throttle position sensor and idle air control valve were replaced. As the car was an automatic conversion, I then performed a procedure to ensure the ECU knew that it now had an automatic installed. The oil cooler lines are new and the fuel level sending unit was replaced. All five tires were just replaced with BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. Additionally, the brakes needed to overhauled. The front pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and lines were replaced. Additionally, the brake booster and master cylinder were replaced as well. At the rear, the wheel cylinders and shoes were replaced. The drums were in good condition. Cosmetically, the car is somewhat challenged. As I mentioned, the upper portion of the bulkhead it shot, and the door sills are rotted. The paint was thoroughly polished and has turned out quite nicely (very good shine, not faded or thin). The floors are good and the frame is solid and in good condition. The paint on the rear cross-member is bad but it is solid as well. The roll cage is rusted where it attaches to the body. I would recommend addressing this when the bulkhead is replaced. Also, some of the body caps are rusted where they run behind the roll cage. The interior is in very good condition. As previously stated, all seating services are covered by Badger Coachworks seat covers. Therefore, the seats are in good shape. The headliner does not have any sag. The dash is in good shape (no splits or cracks). The center console was replaced when the automatic was installed and is therefore in excellent condition. Accessories and gauges: Gauges function except for the fuel gauge. Though I've replaced the fuel level sending unit, the gauge, when the car is running, does not read accurately. However, when the key is turned to the #2 position, the gauge does read properly. Therefore, I've decided not to further pursue this problem. All interior and exterior lighting are functional. The GPS, winch, and ARB compressor are functional. The HVAC system is in good shape. The heat blows hot, air cold, and blower functions on all speeds. The heater control cable is broken. As such, one must manually open or close the valve at the top of the heater box under the hood. Overall, this truck represents a good opportunity to get into exclusive NAS 110 ownership without the six figure price tag. This truck is well sorted and can be used on and off the road reliably, as is. However, if one wanted to invest in the bulkhead, roll cage, door sills, and body cappings, they would have a very high quality truck that would be well worth the improvements, and then some. Your bid is a what you feel comfortable owning this truck for. It is not an opportunity to inspect it. Please do not contact me asking what I will end the auction for. Inspections are welcome prior to auction end. Please make sure all questions are answered satisfactorily prior to bidding. |

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus
Fri, Mar 20 2020More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
Jaguar Land Rover partners with Nvidia for vehicle electronics and software
Wed, Feb 16 2022DETROIT — Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover and Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company Nvidia said Wednesday they will collaborate to develop the computer brains and nervous systems for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and beyond. The companies did not disclose financial terms of their multiyear agreement. The collaboration is a high-profile win for Nvidia Corp's effort to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers. For Jaguar Land Rover Automotive, the partnership with Nvidia gives it a well-funded ally as it tries to catch up with Tesla and other luxury vehicle rivals in a digital technology arms race. "We can now accelerate our in-vehicle software," Francois Dossa, JLR's executive director for strategy, said during a conference call. Working with Nvidia engineers, Jaguar Land Rover plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said. The new Jaguars will be upgradable — as Tesla vehicles are today. The automaker said it will use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has a previous deal with Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology. Dossa said the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV. The Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025. Nvidia technology will act as the brains and the nervous system of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles starting in 2025, said Nvidia's vice president of automotive, Danny Shapiro. Nvidia last month announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years. Shapiro said the company will update the figure during an investor day scheduled for March 22. Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors Ltd has been struggling with rising costs and semiconductor shortages. Jaguar Land Rover reported a narrow pretax profit for the quarter ended Dec. 31, but Tata Motors reported a larger quarterly loss than expected.
