'It's what we do, and it's what we do best'
APOLLO born 04-01-1988
Here we have for sale a very unique one off Defender 110. This Defender has been subject to a full overhaul by our team of fully qualified technicians and is for sale today in the condition of its life and will make yourself, its perspective new owner one very lucky, happy and enviable person.
As a company we source the world for the very best examples of 25 year old Defenders that are genuine, authentic and above all on a solid chassis, the main platform of the Defender. Once found, captured and delivered back to site we set about what we do best, overhauling these wonderful iconic machines to there full glory and this is what you see before you for sale today.
This Defender has been subject to an engine, brake and suspension overhaul by our dedicated USA workshop, it has been fully painted both inside and out by our in house paint-shop and the interior has been trimmed and fitted by our team of highly skilled technicians. We have spent in excess of 12 weeks rebuilding, restoring and customising this Defender to standards far higher than any competitor in the world today.
The very first stage of the build involved us stripping down the chassis, brakes and suspension and treating the chassis to a full and intensive coating of WaxOyl to protect from the elements and any future corrosion. We have then upon this chassis rebuilt the brakes with new lines, replaced the braking systems and the suspension components including all bushes and arms. The Engine has been fully serviced and tuned and is now in the condition of its life, it runs, it purrs and boy does it sound awesome. The monstrous Defender V8 is a sound I can guarantee that you will adore. Before the paint process began all of the aluminium body panels have been sealed and treated to stop reactions within the paintwork in future years. Once our technicians were satisfied that our ever high standards in terms of preparations were met they handed the vehicle over to our paint team who have themselves prepared and painted this vehicle both inside and out to exceptional standards. The chosen colour is Santorini Black, it's a perlescent shade that upon contact with sunlight glistens and shows off every part of its 9 layer coating. The work gone into the vehicle is extraordinary. It really is not your typical re-spray, this is a full unique customisation to the highest possible standards. Jump on a plane, come on over and see this for yourselves. It is eye-catching, breathtaking and above all it's authentic.
The interior has been fully carpeted from top to bottom, the headlining has been re-trimmed, the seating is hand made to order and is half leather with contrasting mesh inserts with fine white stitching to the seams. We have added a Sony CD with uprated audio speakers equipped to take an Ipod/Iphone. This model is equipped to carry 'NINE' yes nine people in total and what better a way to carry yourself and your loved ones than in this awesome specimen of a LandRoversUK built machine. There been no bolt left unturned, no screw left unwound and no component overlooked. This Defender is ready to go, ready to please and ready for it's new owner and life within the USA.
Within the price of this vehicle we will include shipping to your closest port via ocean freight in a container and fully insured. We will handle all export documentation within the UK and can assist within importation and customs clearance by providing you with details of our agents in the USA. We fully guarantee this Defender will clear customs and will provide all relevant documentation to confirm its age and its authenticity. We have on site the date of build certificate from Land Rover confirming when the vehicle was made and that its specification you see now in terms of drive side, transmission and engine have not changed which as I am sure you are aware can cause issues within Customs. This Defender 'WILL' clear customs.

If you are a USA based buyer looking for the highest quality Land Rover Defenders, please take 5 minutes to read this advert in full. We are a multi-award winning Land Rover Defender sales specialist with a stock of around 30 vehicles available for purchase now...
1) Why you haven't yet found the Defender you are looking for...
Unfortunately it is not possible to buy a new Land Rover Defender in the United Sates. The Defender does not meet current United States Department of Transportation (DOT) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) manufacturing standards. A few thousand units were manufactured for the North American market in the early to mid 1990s but, since this time, DOT and EPA regulations have changed and Land Rover have taken the decision not to, due to the prohibitive cost, redesign the Defender simply to satisfy North American requirements. Therefore new Land Rover Defenders have not been available in the United States since 1996.
2) So what is the law if you want to import a Defender...
In order to import any Defender in to the United States, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and the engine must be an authentic Land Rover engine that is at least 21 years old (this means you CANNOT import vehicles with the modern TD5 or TDCi Land Rover engines). These import rules apply because any 25 year old vehicle is considered a classic car in the USA and subsequently it is officially exempt from all DOT and EPA regulations. The vehicle must be 25 years or older to bypass all DOT regulations and the engine must be 21 years or older to bypass all EPA regulations. If a Defender is younger than 25 years of age or it had been fitted with an engine younger than 21 years of age it would also - in order to be imported - need to be customised to comply with all current DOT and EPA requirements (this would include the re-design of the engine bay to create an impact crumple zone, the replacement of the engine with an EPA approved engine, the replacement of the dash board to allow the installation of air bags, and a long list of other expensive alterations that would require a fundamental re-design of the vehicle... this is exactly why Land Rover have not re-designed the Defender for the North American markets). The following information regarding vehicle import is copied directly from current DOT import policy:
"Overview of DOT Import Requirements for Vehicles and Engines
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Exclusions
Section 8. Importing a vehicle that is at least 25 years old.
A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture."
Section 3: EPA Exclusions
A vehicle is exempted (from all EPA requirements) if it has been 21 years or more since its original production year and it is in its original unmodified condition. Upon entry, the importer must file an EPA Form 3520-1 with Customs and declare code "E" on the form.
3) So what can you Import to the USA...
The term "original unmodified condition" used above has been formally defined by U.S Customs as a vehicle that: "has not been significantly altered from its original key structural or mechanical configuration". This means that a vehicle can be sympathetically restored, repaired or reconditioned but that it CANNOT be fundamentally altered. You cannot import a vehicle that has a contemporary engine (unless that engine is formally approved by the EPA); a replacement chassis; an automatic transmission conversion, a modernised drive or suspension system, or that has been converted from right hand drive to left hand drive. If you do, the vehicle can be rejected, indefinitely impounded, or even destroyed by United States Customs (and, as the importer, it is you that will be liable for the loss).
What you can legitimately do is import a vehicle that has its original chassis, original transmission, is in its original left hand drive or right hand drive configuration (evidenced by an official Land Rover Certificate of Conformity), and that has a Land Rover production engine manufactured at least 21 years ago. You can update, repair, and restore bodywork, paint work, trim and upholstery and you can repair, recondition or restore (not significantly upgrade) the original mechanical components of the vehicle. You can fit 'bolt on' external equipment - such as roof racks or spot lights - but you cannot install integrated modern technologies such as built in satellite navigation or reverse parking cameras.
4) Buying a Land Rover Defender from us...
Land Rovers UK Ltd specialise in sourcing the very finest 25 year old Land Rovers that are - IMPORTANTLY - sitting on a genuine, original, clean, corrosion-free, authentic chassis (with the original Land Rover VIN number officially stamped on it) and that are powered by an authentic, genuine Land Rover engine of the correct era (with the correct engine number officially stamped on it). We can supply factory-fitted left hand drive or right hand drive Defender 90 or 110 models with between 2 and 12 seats. We can supply diesel or gasoline variations and we can supply original cloth interiors or bespoke luxury modern interiors. All our vehicles will have manual transmissions but can be converted by you to automatic transmission once the vehicle has passed through US Customs.
We tirelessly restore our USA vehicles to the highest cosmetic and mechanical standard and then we finish them to your personal specification. We will professionally repair body and paint work, fully mechanically recondition the vehicle, refurbish or up-date the interior upholstery and trim, and fit any additional 'bolt on' equipment or accessories that you require. It is worth noting that the design of the Defender has barely changed in 30 years so you lose out on very little buying a 25 year old vehicle instead of a 5 year old vehicle!
Finally, we follow the correct process to remove the vehicles from the UK registry, coordinate the transportation of the vehicle to UK port of departure, complete the outgoing customs clearance and vehicle loading, and ship the vehicle to your closest mainland U.S. port for you or your appointed Customs Agent to import and collect.
5) What you need to do when importing a vehicle...
All Land Rover Defenders sold by our company will be subject to a 2.5% duty upon U.S importation which you will need to pay separately to U.S Customs along with approximately c. $150 in customs clearance administration fees, $400 on bond fees, $125 on EPA/DOT fees, and - depending on your port of entry - a small charge for harbour maintenance fees. You will also need to arrange for, and meet the cost thereof, any registration process that is required within your home State (you should discuss this with your official State vehicle registration agency).
If you would like to appoint a U.S based Customs Clearance Agent to coordinate the importation on your behalf, or if you would like any further information about the customs or importation process, please contact:

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs
Thu, Jun 1 2023The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take: The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros: All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons: CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd — "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis: 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design  2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.
