This vehicle is in excellent original military condition, and served with the British Army. VIN: SALLDHAC7BA290012

IT IS AN IDEAL HEAVY DUTY UTILITY VEHICLE. It can be configured for the Beach, taking a cooler and surf boards or for Hunting - it has the original rifle racks fitted between the front seats.

A full hard top comes with the vehicle, with a full size rear door, and internal roll cage. The hard top can be taken off and all the doors can be reduced to half doors. The vehicle also comes with the original military updated trim on the interior. Conversion to LHD is also possible here in the USA.

This British Army Land Rover Defender 110 (1987) was fully refurbished under the ‘Tithonus’ project. Each Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully refurbished by the MoD in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (life extension program).  The project was to extend the overall service life of the Land-Rovers by 10 years or more.

A fully integrated Wolf Roll Cage including front external and rear internal hoop system provides protection. Front and rear disc brakes were fitted, with the wheels replaced with heavy duty 16 inch Wolf rims carrying 7.50R16 Michelin XZL tyres. Updated Exmoor ‘Outlast’ fabric front seats with headrest and rear side facing folding seats with lap belts provide seating for six. Front and rear, rubber sound proofing matting was also added.

The vehicle is in Virginia Beach with full clear Virginia title and all customs paperwork appropriately stamped during it's import process. The Defender has a VA state inspection, is exempt EPA emissions testing, and as it is older than 25 years old, exempt from DOT regulations as an antique.

The truck is totally stock military spec and drives very well. All seals and the drive train have been inspected, and timing belt changed. It has Land Rover power assisted steering fitted.

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
