1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon, Coniston Green on 2040-cars
Breckenridge, Colorado, United States

For sale by owner: 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Wagon, Coniston Green. It's a very clean and very sweet vehicle. If this is what you are looking for then you know what it is and how rare they are, especially the wagon. There were 1,000 D90 Wagons imported in 1997 and a third of them were the Coniston Green.This thing is a machine that's built like a tank and moves like a mountain goat, there is nowhere it can't go. I purchased this when it had just under 76K miles and have the title in hand. I put the several upgrades that the D90 requires to be truly badass and still maintain the stock integrity of a collector's item. See list the $12K worth of upgrades below:
- Old Man EMU full suspension, springs and shocks. - True-trac limited slip front differential. - Detroit locker rear differential. - Great basin rovers 4.11 ring and pinion, front and rear. (Not a race car but a vast improvement over the very slow stock gearing) - Great Basin Rovers Heavy duty rear axles. - Mantec Snorkel and K&N air filter. - Mantec heavy duty rear tire carrier. (took the weight of spare off of the rear door) - Expeditionware roof rack double jerry can holder with 2 red Jerry cans and siphon. (Must have as LR put a 15.6 gallon tank on the D90) - Safari Gard Front winch bumper and lower skid plate. - Superwinch EP 9.0 Planetary winch with roller fairlead, snatch block included. (Dual batteries installed under driver seat for winch power) - East Coast Rover rear LED light kit, looks identical to stock, never have to change a bulb again, (Big defender problem solved!). - Exmoor trim rear side bench seats, (still have the 4 individual seats and will be re-installing them before sale). - Exmoor trim tan canvas seat covers, front. (Bomber canvas, indestructible) - New Goodyear MT/R Mud terrains tires, about 6K miles on them, matching spare. - Hella headlights with H4 bulbs. (Can be replaced with a 100W high beam bulb) - Hella Black Magic off-road light on front bumper. - Kenwood stereo/CD, XM capable, Infinity speakers. It has a new Mobile 1 synthetic oil change last week and diffs were done 3K ago. Brakes were done in the last 5K. I have all receipts and maintenance records during my ownership and the previous owner. I treated her great and she took care of me. In the pics you can see at each door corner the typical rust/oxidation D90s obtain, not integrity issues of the door, outlast you. Feel free to ask any specific Q's you may have…. |

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
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.
