Power: Check (Not the weak 3.9 or 4.0L motor....4.8L with 300 HP! IT IS FAST AND WILL DO 110 MPH with Ease!)
Original COST CAST Block from British Compact ACR.
Very rare engine block built as a HIGH PERFORMANCE Upgrade to the Stock Block. Very few people in the USA have put the money down to this conversion / upgrade. Engine was professionally installed, married to a rebuilt transmission and front/rear differentials.
The ARB locker pump is not installed but the truck is plumbed for the pump as well as all the gauges and electronics installed and ready for use.
Carfax / Autocheck showing no accidents, Original Speedometer stating 77K is included with the truck. The new motor (with matching modern defender speedometer and digital odometer) has only 9900 miles on it. They installed a high performance cam shaft too, so it may not pass smog in your state. Includes two sets of keys, a binder full of information and manual.
This truck went through a $55,000 custom 6 year build. Over $80K invested ($28K Clean 1994 Defender plus the $55k build cost). Cost was not an issue for the owner but functionality, quality, and power were which in turn provided an unparalleled Defender 90.
Some of the build items are:
-Brand New Special Order "High torque" RPi 4.8 New Engine at a cost of $19K (300 Horsepower). Truck gets up and GOES!
-Fully rebuilt original 5 Speed Transmission
-Custom painted Porsche Seal Gray (Graphite gray) at a cost of $8K.
-Fully soundproofed custom truck cabin is as quiet as a Lexus. Custom stretched for indoor and outdoor rear cargo room.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
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.
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.
