Land Rover Nas Defender 90 St Convertible 4x4 on 2040-cars
Salem, Virginia, United States
|
Up for auction is my NAS Defender 90, #1574. I had hoped to keep this car forever, however we have found a house that we'd like to buy and naturally my play toy gets sacrificed (per wife's orders). This Rover had been in an accident back in 2006 and sat in a garage for 6 years when I bought it. The front passenger fender was damaged along with the air conditioning condenser and freon lines. All these items were replaced with new ones. There is no body filler (Bondo) on the car. I then had the entire Rover repainted, only after I removed just about everything off of it (doors, door latches, hinges, full roll cage, all signals and lights, grill, bonnet, tire carrier, tailgate, door rubber seals, etc) so that there would be no overspray (again I hoped to keep it forever and wanted it done right). I re-assembled as much as I could with stainless steel bolts (door hinges, bonnet hinges, front grill, headlight surrounds, body to rear crossmember, etc). Then the Rover was wet sanded, compounded, and polished for a nice smooth finish. I replaced all signals with new ones (originals were somewhat cloudy), replace all four wheel spats (originals had become dull). The Rover looks great, and more importantly it runs and drives great. It drives well at highway speeds and doesn't shimmy, or pull to one side, etc. The engine is nice and powerful and doesn't smoke, burn oil, etc. the automatic transmission is nice and smooth and shifts as it should. The soft top is in good shape with only one small 1/2" tear at the top of the rear window (could easily be patched if desired, it doesn't let in water so I didn't worry about it). The interior is in good shape with no tears on any of the seats, no cracks in the dashboard, etc. It has a nice set of Goodyear tires with I'd guess 90% tread left (matching spare tire that has never been on the ground). The heat and air-conditioning both work well. I installed a Sony cd stereo, however I will include the original Land Rover cassette stereo with the sale. There is essentially no rust on the frame, bulkhead or rear crossmember. The drivers door has a very small amount on the bottom door frame, the passenger side door has none. The battery box has no rust as well. The original jack, wheel lug wrench, and tools are still there and have never been used. I am embarrassed to say that this Rover has never been off-roading, but I guess that's a good thing. The Defender only has 50,360 original miles on it. When I bought it, like almost all '97 Defenders, the digital odometer would scramble back and forth between jumble and the correct millage. I sent the entire speedometer off to Hollywood Clock and Speedometer Shop, they verified the millage and repaired the digital screen (I have the paperwork documenting this). Please look at the Carfax report to validate this in the "state inspection field". Unfortunately when I bought the Rover the business that sold it to me could not read the odometer and they checked "not actual" millage and the Virginia DMV would not make the correction. Feel free to email or call me with questions, my number is 540-598-8331, and I will walk around it with you on the phone and describe every detail. I welcome and encourage anyone interested to come see/drive it in person before bidding, if you're long distant, I will happily pick you up at the Roanoke Airport. This truly is an awesome Defender, these things are amazingly capable of going just about anywhere, just point and go. I hope to be as forthright and honest in my representing it as possible. ***IMPORTANT: the Warn winch is not included in the auction**** This is a used car and therefore is sold AS-IS. Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping, however I am happy to drop it off at any local shipping depot. $1000.00 deposit through Paypal at auction end, the balance at pickup. The Defender is also for sale locally, therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower
Wed, Sep 27 2017Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race
Thu, Mar 17 2016We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
