After 2 Series and a 1995 USA Defender, I knew what it would take to create my Dream Rover.  This is it.  She is a 1986, ex-MOD with a conversion to an early 1990's Discovery 300Tdi motor.  She has the T-177 transmission that shifts smoothly and has been known to run at 85 mph all day long.  It isn't much fun, but it can be done.  The color is a lovely light green that is very distinctive.  The body is dry and rot free as is the frame.  There is a minor age issue with some patchwork done to the driver's floor in the past that has been recently addressed. The motor has excellent power, the transmission shifts smoothly and it is as dry as an ex-MOD will likely keep its occupants.  I have installed solar blanket in the area above the front seats to cut down on heat and it works pretty well (even in the South Florida Summer heat) To this wonderful vehicle, I added all weather mats, an XM radio receiver Alpine deck in a Tuffy box and a set of MB Quart marine 6x9 speakers enclosed in Tuffy enclosures in the rear.  Also in the Tuffy box, I have installed a 3 plug inverter to satisfy all ac power needs that might arise on an adventure.  I have exchanged the modern plastic turn signals in front for the screw-on MOD units at remarkable expense, and also added fog lamps.  The seats are all in good condition with the rear bench pads only suffering from staining.  One bench's back pad has a tear to which I have not attended but does not prevent comfortable use.  The top is in excellent shape with one small tear in a flap over the driver's door.  All the window plastic is clear and with only minimal abrasion.  Because it is a Florida vehicle that I like to drive barefoot, I purchased Bentley-grade sheepskin floor mats that were custom made in the UK for this D90.  In as few words as possible, if you really want the perfect Defender with just enough stuff to make it livable and enjoyable without losing the rugged appeal that is the reason for D90s appearing on so many magazine and catalog covers then this is your new truck.  It is not inexpensive nor should it be, this vehicle has all the right elements, all the right mod-cons (even AC, which I never considered, can be affixed given the Disco motor) and the perfect vintage look.  Feel free to ask questions.  I am happy to assist in shipping to the extent that I am able.  The VIN number is SALLDVAC7AA269353 but the little ebay box does not like that number.

Thanks for looking.

Tata Motors posts quarterly loss and warns of inflationary costs

Mon, Jan 31 2022

BENGALURU — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) owner Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss on Monday that was bigger than expected and warned of rising inflationary costs. Automakers worldwide have been roiled by chip shortages, supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 restrictions and rising raw material prices after a short-lived recovery towards the end of 2020. "Demand remains strong despite near term concerns ... the semiconductor supply situation is improving gradually whilst inflation worries persist," Tata Motors said in an exchange filing. The company expects chip shortages at JLR to continue through 2022 as suppliers gradually ramp up production, and is also engaging directly with chip manufacturers to secure supply longer-term supplies for the Range Rover maker, it said. Tata Motors' consolidated net loss came in at 15.16 billion rupees ($203.23 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared to a profit of 29.06 billion rupees a year earlier, when an easing of pandemic-related restrictions led to a pick-up in sales. However, the recovery was short-lived as acute semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions delayed production, and Tata Motors slipped back to losses. For the reported quarter, analysts had expected the Mumbai-based company to report a loss of 3.30 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data. Tata Motors' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin, a key measure of profitability, was 10.2% for the quarter, above estimates of 9.3%. Total revenue from operations for the quarter fell 4.5% to 722.29 billion rupees, below estimates of 775.93 billion rupees. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Land Rover will downsize with a pair of hybridized turbodiesel sixes

Thu, Mar 26 2020

Europe's automotive industry has ground to a halt, but the strict emissions regulations that went into effect in early 2020 are still looming on the horizon. Land Rover is preparing to launch a pair of hybridized turbodiesel six-cylinder engines in a bid to comply with the regulations and avoid paying huge fines, according to a recent report. British magazine Autocar learned Land Rover has applied the mild hybrid technology already offered on the Evoque and the Discovery Sport, its two smallest models, to a 3.0-liter straight-six to obtain 300 horsepower. The company will also release a more powerful version of the six rated at about 350 horses. The former will be available on HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic variants of the Range Rover Sport, while the latter will be added to upmarket models like the HST. The full-size Range Rover (pictured) will get them, too. The sixes represent a two-pronged approach to replacing the 4.4-liter turbodiesel V8 available in Europe, among other markets. It delivers 335 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, and it sends the Range Rover from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds while giving it a 7,700-pound towing capacity. These figures are hard to argue against, but it's an older engine that's increasing the company's fleet-wide average emissions output, so it has to go. The mild hybrid system won't power either Range Rover on electricity alone, but it will make them cleaner and more efficient; losing a pair of cylinders will help in both areas, too. Although Land Rover hasn't confirmed plans to ax the V8 or launch a hybridized six, suppliers have started publishing information about the powertrain, so its launch is believed to be around the corner. Time will tell whether it will appear on the current-generation models or their replacements, which are undergoing shakedown testing globally and due out in the coming months. Sister company Jaguar will use the mild hybrid technology, too. The six-cylinder will find its way into the XF and the F-Pace, which are both expected to receive comprehensive updates before the end of 2020. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar XE to be built in China

Mon, Dec 29 2014

After a six-year absence, the Jaguar XE will return that most English of automotive companies to the compact premium segment, the brand's first whole-hearted launch into that market. For certain Western markets it begins production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull early next year, but it will also continue the brand's venture in to China having been chosen as the first Jaguar to be built there, according to a report in Automotive News. Jaguar-Land Rover owns a plant in Changshu, a joint venture with Chery Automobile, that started building the Range Rover Evoque this year and will add the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Previously, The Leaping Cat was selling cars built from kits at its factory in Pune, India. The brand figures to sell 20,000 cars in China next year, which would be less than a fifth of in-country sales for the JLR group, but the XE is the "spearhead vehicle" that "could make significant inroads" there, according to Jaguar. For comparison, Audi moved 120,450 A4s alone and BMW sold more than 100,000 3 Series models in China in 2013. Globally, Jaguar is predicted to sell 80,000 units this year. By 2017, after the release of the XE, new XF and coming crossover, plus factory expansions in China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, it hopes to get that number up to 200,000 units; Forbes has a piece detailing why they think it's possible. The JLR group is shooting for a target of 850,000 units worldwide by 2020.
