1995 North American Specification (NAS) Land Rover Defender 90
 
This Black/Black NAS D90 is a rare find!  It's one of only 1190 Soft Tops made in 1995 for the US market - '95 being the lowest production run of the three years (94,95, and 97) NAS D90s - and the Black Defenders seem to be the toughest color to find.  It's got some nice options/upgrades such as the diamond plate wingtops and sills, safari rack with ladder, step bumper with class iii hitch, rear flip and fold forward facing bench seat, upgraded stereo and speakers, Land Rover fiberglass removable hardtop, Land Rover rubber mats, tinted windows, and more.  So let's move to condition:
 
Outside:  As you can see from the photos, this Defender has typical imperfections consistent with age/miles but overall it's really a great looking truck.  I've included detailed photos of all panels so you can see the chips, nicks, dings, etc.  More close-ups can be emailed if you need them.  It appears 90% of the paint is original judging by the slight "checking" of the paint on tops of the panels.  Only the left rear quarter doesn't have that trait, so we believe that was repainted at some point over the last 19 years.  This is of particular interest because this Defender has salvage history (we've researched and understand it was a clerical error, but haven't been able to verify either way) but it's obvious to us it's never been hit.  There have been chip touch-ups of course, and it looks like the bumpers were painted to keep them looking fresh, but over all a very original example.  The upgrades like diamond plate wingtops/sills and safari rack really make this Defender look aggressive... definitely a head turner!
 
Inside:  The inside of this D90 is in good condition.  It has Land Rover rubber mats that are fairly new, and the floors underneath are clean and appear rust free.  There are seat covers protecting the front seats and the rear flip forward bench seat.  There's wear and a split on the original driver seat, but the outer covers are in great shape.  The dash is in good shape, as are the door panels.  Few flaws are the driver door pocket is missing, shift knob is a bit loose, trim around the glove box handle is cracked, and the right skylight is missing.  The prior owner upgraded the factory sound system to a Pioneer radio and MTX speakers that sound good along with some LED floorboard lighting that helps you see things inside at night.
 
Mechanical:  You read the mileage correctly - 151,000 miles and counting.  A testament to how durable these Defenders are.  It also helps show why they've become so collectible.  If you're not familiar with Defenders you should know to be wary of "low miles" rigs as they've often had odometer tampering or replacement.  There's many ways to tell... but you don't have to suspect that with this one (obviously)!  This D-90 is fairly stock and hasn't been heavily modified.  It runs and drives great.  The 5 speed transmission shifts well up/down gears, the clutch feels tight, and the transfer case hi & low (plus center locking differential) all seem to work well - although I haven't tested it off road.  The brakes are good with no pull, and this Landy tracks straight going down the road.  It has a fairly new NRP stainless steel exhaust system, battery, and other misc services done.  Tread is 50% and the tires are a bit dry rotted... but we will put NEW tires on if the Buy Now option is used.  There's a slight oil leak that looks like it's at the filter, but over all it's a very tight Defender that you'll be able to drive and enjoy for many years to come.
 
 
In closing, I've tried to provide an honest forthright description of this Defender, but please remember it's nearly 20 years old and I am not an expert on these.  I invite all interested buyers to inspect this Defender or I can drop it off at Land Rover for you to have a pre-purchase inspection done.  If you have any questions or need additional photos, please email and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car

Tue, Sep 26 2017

Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand — along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table — maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay — to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

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.

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues

Tue, Aug 2 2022

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident.  Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3.  "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly.  "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months.  Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
