1993 North American Specification (NAS) Defender 110, plaque number 198 of 500.
VIN SALDH128XPA919990
I am the second owner of this vehicle, having acquired it in 2013 from the original owner. When I began searching
for a NAS 110, I did so with the knowledge I’d gained as the owner of a 1997 Defender 90. I understood exactly
what I wanted, and had the following requirements: little to no rust, as close to original condition as possible,
well cared for with supporting service documentation, and a clean title confirming the history and stated mileage.
I spent over a year searching for one, flew out to personally inspect multiple NAS 110’s throughout the country,
and spent thousands on pre-purchase inspections, before discovering this vehicle at a ranch in Texas which checked
off all of my requirements. Since then, I’ve continued to care for this vehicle, truly appreciating just how few
of these are left in this near-original, un-molested condition.
Today, the truck has approximately 72,500 miles, and presents itself as a vehicle that has been used sparingly
throughout its life. That said, it will be turning 25 years old next year, and reasonable expectations should be
applied.
I have included the attached photos which I believe honestly depict the vehicle in its current condition, but I
have listed some items of note as you look through them:
-The original ANR1534 white steel wheels have been professionally refinished in black, with new tires recently
mounted
-The original radio has been replaced with an Alpine hands-free head unit, but the original is included
-The original headlights have been replaced with Truck-Lite LEDs, but the originals are included for replacement at
the buyer’s discretion
-The original LT77 gearbox was replaced with the R380 as part of an elective service from Land Rover N.A., which
still shifts smoothly today
-Braided stainless steel oil cooler lines have been fitted to replace the original rubber ones
-I have taken steps to ensure that the rust-free chassis and bulkhead would remain as such, but the running boards
could use either refinishing or replacement
-Interior including the dash and seats are close to perfect
-The passenger door could use either re-skinning or replacement in the future
-Headliner is sagging a bit in places
Additional original accessories included but not pictured include:
-Land Rover winch bag and leather gloves
-NAS 110 workshop manual
-Original window sticker
-NAS 110 owner’s manual

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
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.
Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
