Land Rover Defender Defender 90 Convertible on 2040-cars
Terrell, North Carolina, United States
This is a two owner Defender I have owned since 1997. It was 2 years old and had just 2500 miles on it when I bought it. It was first owned by Franklin Graham. I have always been very particular with its care. It is -1961 of the NAS Defenders that were brought to the US. It's a great truck, I just don't have the time to enjoy it now with young children and busy schedule. It has the newer style rail top, and I also have a bikini top and bimini top to cover the rear seating area and rear speakers and protect from the weather when using the smaller bikini top. It has the Camel Trophy brush bar with the Rovers North heavy duty front bumper, and Superwinch Husky 8.5k lb winch. Land Rover heavy duty suspension springs have been installed to accommodate for the extra weight of the bumper and winch; this also lifts the suspension 2" over stock. It has two Hella fog lights in the grill and 4 Hella driving lights on top of the roll bar for extra off-road lighting. I have upgraded the soundsystem to a Alpine unit with bluetooth and ipod/phone capability. It has a powerful Kenwood amplifier driving it's 4 main speakers and a JL Audio 8" sub in the back. It sounds great! It has black steel wheels on now with BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires, but I also have the stock alloy wheels to go with it as well. I installed the diamond plating wing protectors. It has a custom made exhaust that is freer flowing, and has a much improved sound without being too loud. I have original alloy wheels to go with it. It is equipped with rock sliders, front and rear Rover's North differential covers, thick aluminum Land Rover front skid plate, and also has a Detroit Locker in the rear differential, greatly increasing its capabilities off-road. Detroit Locker The Detroit Locker is a 100%-automatic locking differential that provides ultimate traction for mild to extreme vehicle applications. Its unique, bullet-proof design is engineered to keep both wheels in drive mode - even is one wheel is lifted off the ground. Operation During straight-line driving, the Detroit Locker captures 100% of available torque and sends it equally to both wheels. In turns and maneuvers, the internal components unlock to allow one wheel to spin faster or slower as necessary (free wheel). When the vehicle returns to a straight-line driving path, the components re-engage and provide power to both wheel ends.

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.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?
Tue, 01 Jul 2014At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.
