For sale is my NAS Defender 110, #469/500. Alpine white over gray cloth interior. The truck has approximately 7k miles on the odometer. A little history on this truck: #469 has been sold several times now by Copley Motorcars of Needham, MA. The first time they sold the truck was in approximately 2005. At that time it was a clean, lower mileage, stock NAS 110. That owner proceeded to heavily modify the truck. The 3.9 V8 and five speed transmission were removed. In its place was installed a brand new 4.6 V8 with four speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the truck was prepared for off-road use. A heavy-duty ARB bumper was installed with high-lift jack and mounts, as was a Warn 9000 winch, and limb risers. Southdown underbody protection was installed along with rock sliders, and a Mantec snorkel. Other off-road accessories include a Garmin satellite GPS system, CB radio, ARB air compressor (under the passenger seat), and six Hella Rallye lights with rear work light were also installed. Additional upgrades to the interior include full Badger Coachworks seat covers for all seating surfaces. I’m assuming the headliner was replaced as it is in excellent condition. All four doors were replaced and upgraded hinges were installed. The external roll cage and rack were removed and painted black. This owner put approximately 8k miles on the truck and traded it back in to Copley Motorcars. The next owner purchased it from Copley in 2007, parked it in front of his barn, and put 900 miles on it in six years. It was traded back in to Copley and I purchased it in August of this year. As one can imagine, a lot deteriorates when a car is left outside to sit for six years. The paint had turned to chalk, the bulkhead rotted, and the door sills are rough. Surprising, the frame is solid as is the rear cross-member. *HERE IS A LINK TO MANY MORE PICTURES, INCLUDING THE ROUGH SPOTS* What I’ve done: Since I purchased the car, I have thoroughly gone over the vehicle to make it a reliable driver. Initially, I went through the cooling system and replaced the radiator, fan clutch, water pump, and thermostat. The car was then serviced and fluids and filters were changed, and drive belts replaced. The ignition system was gone over and the plugs, cap, rotor, and coil were replaced. Additionally, the throttle position sensor and idle air control valve were replaced. As the car was an automatic conversion, I then performed a procedure to ensure the ECU knew that it now had an automatic installed. The oil cooler lines are new and the fuel level sending unit was replaced. All five tires were just replaced with BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. Additionally, the brakes needed to overhauled. The front pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and lines were replaced. Additionally, the brake booster and master cylinder were replaced as well. At the rear, the wheel cylinders and shoes were replaced. The drums were in good condition. Cosmetically, the car is somewhat challenged. As I mentioned, the upper portion of the bulkhead it shot, and the door sills are rotted. The paint was thoroughly polished and has turned out quite nicely (very good shine, not faded or thin). The floors are good and the frame is solid and in good condition. The paint on the rear cross-member is bad but it is solid as well. The roll cage is rusted where it attaches to the body. I would recommend addressing this when the bulkhead is replaced. Also, some of the body caps are rusted where they run behind the roll cage. The interior is in very good condition. As previously stated, all seating services are covered by Badger Coachworks seat covers. Therefore, the seats are in good shape. The headliner does not have any sag. The dash is in good shape (no splits or cracks). The center console was replaced when the automatic was installed and is therefore in excellent condition. Accessories and gauges: Gauges function except for the fuel gauge. Though I've replaced the fuel level sending unit, the gauge, when the car is running, does not read accurately. However, when the key is turned to the #2 position, the gauge does read properly. Therefore, I've decided not to further pursue this problem. All interior and exterior lighting are functional. The GPS, winch, and ARB compressor are functional. The HVAC system is in good shape. The heat blows hot, air cold, and blower functions on all speeds. The heater control cable is broken. As such, one must manually open or close the valve at the top of the heater box under the hood. Overall, this truck represents a good opportunity to get into exclusive NAS 110 ownership without the six figure price tag. This truck is well sorted and can be used on and off the road reliably, as is. However, if one wanted to invest in the bulkhead, roll cage, door sills, and body cappings, they would have a very high quality truck that would be well worth the improvements, and then some. Your bid is a what you feel comfortable owning this truck for. It is not an opportunity to inspect it. Please do not contact me asking what I will end the auction for. Inspections are welcome prior to auction end. Please make sure all questions are answered satisfactorily prior to bidding. |

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7
Fri, Mar 22 2019Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.
Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr
Thu, Jul 2 2015Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.
