1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.0l Automatic on 2040-cars
Monument, Colorado, United States

1997 Land Rover Defender 90 - 4.0 Liter V8 Automatic 68,000 miles (mileage is actual at 67,950 currently but i will continue to drive until sold)
I purchased this beast about 3 months ago and have always wanted one and frankly don't want to get rid of it but we need something a tad bigger for somethings that have transpired. This is not a distress sale and I would love to keep it but hard to justify having a $50k SUV as a 3rd car...I could justify it but my finance director says no! :)...With this said, the vehicle is great around town and highway driving. Will run down the highway at 90 and will go anywhere! Full time 4WD and locking diff affords the new owner with pulling a house down or going just about anywhere. I have only put about 2000 miles on it and I believe I am the 3rd owner (pretty sure from what I found). Any puddles you see in pics are from me washing prior to picture taking. Few leaks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary for this vehicle. Replaced the front steering damper when I purchased because the steering was a bit sloppy and had a compete run through performed. Had an oil change completed and went on my way. It does have about a 3 inch crack in windshield and with a full price purchase I will replace windshield...love Colorado weather! This is not a concours Defender but it IS an everyday get in and drive it vehicle that will turn heads anywhere you go. So, with that said this is a dying bread of vehicle. Only about 5000 have survived their import into the states between 94, 95 and 97! And, the new Land Rover has announced that after 2015 the Defender 90 will NO longer be produced. Items that differentiate this Defender from the others around: -Factory installed removable hard top - These tops were installed when the Rover hit port. Came over as a soft top and hit the market as a removable hard top -Rovers North soft top ($2199) -Factory air conditioning -Heated seats -Kenwood stereo w/ bluetooth and ipod usb connection -Rear bench seat -Biometric safe bolted in -Front large Hella driving lights -Rear utility lights -Extra wheel caps -BF Goodrich with 85-90% left SHIPPING WILL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF BUYER. I will make every effort to coordinate with the pickup provider. For reference I did finance the vehicle but my local credit union has assured me that they can turnaround the title upon the check/money clearing. With this said if you are looking to finance look to your local credit union they were great to work with and valued the vehicle appropriately to be able to finance. If you are local or want to come see it before you buy it...email me and I will be glad to show it. I am willing to discuss the price for reasonable fair offers. I have priced it fair and reasonable and would expect your offer to be the same. Thank you for looking and I will not deal overseas nor for your son who is on a oil rig in Dubai...no misleading here and I will expect the same from who I do business with as well. Let me know if you have any questions. Joe |

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
