For consideration is a superb 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 in Coniston Green (chassis 2129). I am the second private
owner of this vehicle - I purchased it in 2003 from the first private owner after returning from Iraq. It was sold
to me from a couple from Denver, CO and my understanding is the wife received the vehicle as a gift from her
father. They were very nice folks who treated me well and sold me a great vehicle. I would very much like to do the
same.
I have meticulously maintained this vehicle for the past 13 years using it mostly while home on leave. When I was
away it was in climate-controlled storage and looked after by my (very) meticulous father. Since purchasing the
vehicle I have made a significant number of upgrades and added some of the most desirable accessories. In 2012 she
underwent a significant "service life extension" for use during my wedding. The work was done by a professional
body shop specializing in unique and antique vehicles. Some of the major work included: cleaning/restoring the
paint to original condition, repainting all of the "black work" on the vehicle (roll bar, brush bar, tire carrier,
etc.), complete rhino-lining of the interior and a complete Ziebart undercoating for rust-proofing & noise
reduction. The vehicle has been very mechanically sound but I have replaced the: water pump, fuel pump, ignition
switch and master clutch cylinder. Only original Land Rover parts have been used (I gave Rovers North a lot of
business over the years). She also received a new Interstate battery in 2015. When I purchased the vehicle in
2003 she came with: original grey fiberglass top with alpine windows, a BestTop soft top (in excellent condition),
5 Tornado alloy rims and a wrap-around brush bar.
This vehicle includes all of that plus the following extensive list of upgrades and accessories:
- NRP Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust System (center muffler silencer, tailpipe, all stainless steel hanger &
hardware). This was added in 2012.
- 6 new BF Goodrich All Terrain Tires...4 on the vehicle plus 1 on the rear tire carrier and 1 on the hood. There
are 5 Tornado rims plus one "NATO" military rim (mounted on the hood).
- Metal grill from Rovers North to replace the original plastic grill. I purchased a radiator muff at the same
time.
- Hood (aka 'bonnet') spare tire mount. This tire has a flat black NATO-style military rim.
- Black diamond plate on hood under the spare tire mount.
- NAS V8 raised air intake (Rovers North)
- "Arctic Wolf" air intake courtesy of the UK armed forces.
- I also have the original "flat" air intakes plus 1 additional winter (hooded) air intake.
- Spare tire covers for both the front and rear spare tires (these are brand new).
- High Lift Jack 48" - XT485 with off road base and neoprene cover (all brand new)
- Rear tire carrier mount for 1 "jerry can" and the jack. Fuel can is new - never used. The mount is included but
not yet pictured (or mounted).
- Original driver and passenger door hinges were replaced with stainless steel hinge set from Rovers
North...instead of painting them a matching color I decided to have them (professionally) painted black by the shop
that did my 2012 upgrade. The black matches the other "black work" on the vehicle and gives a nice contrast on the
doors.
- Alpine Stereo (the original quit and needed to be replaced).
- Mantec rock sliders (made in the UK and purchased from Rovers North).
- Stainless steel sill guards (purchased through Atlantic British).
- Stainless steel gas tank shield - needed to replace the rusting metal straps and went with the best Rovers North
had...
- Numerous misc. parts included: fuses & relays, convex mirror, nylon seat covers, bulbs, etc.
Floor mats are not pictured as I have just ordered a new set from Rovers North. The replacement mats I purchased 12
years ago are now in need...of replacement.
The vehicle is not rigged with a wire harness for towing; something I always meant to do but never got around to
doing. Bottomline is this vehicle has never, ever towed anything.
Off-road use...I must confess she has seen almost no off-road use while in my possession. She has spent the
majority of her time on rural roads in Illinois with trips to Michigan (the last being my wedding in 2012). She has
not seen any heavy duty off-road play.
While she has Montana plates and is titled in Montana she has never been...I borrowed a friend's address to title
in Montana instead of Illinois for (a) expense and (b) Montana plates look better. Plates were just renewed and are
good until October 2017.
This list is as inclusive as I can make it at the moment - I will make updates as needed. I understand the milage
is higher than some vehicles listed here but this vehicle is truly well maintained and in outstanding condition. I
will answer any questions you have and will also entertain reasonable offers. Thanks for looking and if you have
any questions please feel free to contact me. I understand this is a big purchase and I want this gal to find a
good home. She has been very good to me over the years and I want her to find the right home.
I also encourage reasonable offers using the "make an offer" feature. Thanks for looking!

Xcar drives Jaguar C-X75, other Spectre villains of 007
Thu, Oct 29 2015James Bond returns to US theaters very soon in Spectre, and with the action-packed film wrapped, the producers are lending out the keys to some of the movie's automotive stars. We've already seen Jay Leno behind the wheel of Bond's Aston Martin DB10. Now, Xcar's Alex Goy has taken a turn in some of the flick's villainous rides from Jaguar Land Rover, including a very special Jaguar C-X75. The crew from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations team certainly did an impressive job of giving the movies baddies some appropriately nefarious rides. To challenge Bond, they turned the Land Rover Defender into a beast with chunky, off-road tires and blinding-spot lights. They also made the Range Rover Sport SVR even more diabolical than normal with a blacked-out look and LED lightbar. Of course, the king of Spectre's villain cars is the C-X75. According to Goy, most of the ones in the movie use the company's 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, but two are actually original prototypes with the hybrid setup. He gets to drive one of those special examples in this clip. While limited to some low-speed cruising, the coupe still looks wonderfully menacing on the road. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover proposes seats that scientifically massage your butt, for your health
Thu, Jan 16 2020Habitually sitting too long can degrade a person's health. Scientific research has proven that dormancy can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, deep-vein thrombosis, and metabolic syndrome, according to the Harvard Medical School. Although sitting can be avoided in many cases, such as using a standing desk at work, taking a seat is the only option when hopping in the car for a drive. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is hoping to address this negative aspect of cars with a new high-tech seat that the company says mimics the act of walking. JLR calls the concept a shape-shifting, or morphable, seat system, and it is currently in a trial period with Jaguar Land Rover’s Body Interiors Research division. Using actuators built into the seat's foam, the seat will constantly be in motion with micro-adjustments that can be tuned to the needs of different people and body types. JLR believes it has created a system that recreates what is known as pelvic oscillation, a motion that can supposedly trick the brain into thinking the body is walking. In addition to helping to prevent internal health issues, JLR also notes that a sedentary lifestyle can degrade and shorten muscles in the legs, hips, and rear. If these muscles are worked on a regular basis, the chance and risk of injury and back issues could potentially be reduced. The new seats are just one of many car interior technologies JLR has explored. In the past, we've seen tech that tracks brainwaves and heart rates, creates augmented reality, helps prevent motion sickness, and helps stop the spread of germs. They've also taken the time to have an expert demonstrate the perfect seating position. Most of this stuff is experimental for now, but it's possible similar features could eventually trickle down to production cars, in time. See how the seat moves in the video below. Related Video:  Â
Jaguar Land Rover is going to call itself 'JLR' and spin off brands
Wed, Apr 19 2023Embracing the current popular philosophy that less is more, the executives at Jaguar Land Rover plan to officially rename their company “JLR” and to create a new “house of brands” that will emphasize name equity and refocus its vehicle offerings. In simple terms, the British-based, India-owned company will split into four separate brands: Range Rover, Discovery, Defender and Jaguar. While this shift may appear to be essentially a function of marketing and dealership bookkeeping, the over-arching reason is to give some of the brands more visibility. Details of the plan, which would reconfigure showrooms in Britain into discrete brand footprints, were discussed this week at a presentation by JLR CEO Adrian Mardell. “The reality is Range Rover is a brand and so is Defender,’” said creative officer Gerry McGovern. “Customers say they own a Range Rover. In luxury, you need absolute clarity. Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography doesnÂ’t give it. We love Land Rover, but there isn't as much equity as Range Rover, and Defender is increasing massively.” Underlying the effort is plans to reinvent Jaguar as an electric-only luxury brand, Mardell said that this was “unfinished business” for him since he joined Jaguar 32 years ago. “The Jaguar of 32 years ago is where weÂ’re going back to and the right place for us to be." He further acknowledged that JLR had been “quiet” recently in the face of semiconductor chip shortages, but allowed that that situation was easing at his company.
