THIS VEHICLE IS TITLED AND REGISTERED IN TEXAS CURRENTLY, NOT AWAITING SHIPPING FROM THE UK - UK VIN SALLDHMV7BA238870 "Thurston" (yes, he has a name), originally began life on a hunting estate West of London, transporting the nobility from castle to field to partake in the activities that all well-to-do Englishmen do on a daily basis; polo, skeet shooting, and of course afternoon tea on the green. Since then, Thurston took a steamer West to the New World and emigrated to Texas. He was a little dated and in desperate need of a new lease on life when he arrived, but now he is in better shape than when he left the factory in Solihull. So, what's he had done?

Reupholstered entire interior All door cards upholstered and look amazing Brand new head liner Carpeting throughout sound and heat insulation panels added All leaks, drips and seeps addressed - full mechanical health and wellness work done by the number 1 Land Rover Master Technician in Texas! -new water pump -coolant flush -all oils and fluids replaced -new seals/door seals throughout the vehicle -carbs tuned and balanced -new windscreen Under sealed the bottom with bed liner as a rust preventative - frame and bulkhead are in good shape New wheels and tires No stone left unturned and I would happily drive across country in him! Drives like an absolute dream! The 3.5 V8 is very smooth all the way from idle to the top of the rev range. I would absolutely encourage a test drive, or at the least a good look around for this one off restoration. Everywhere I drive him he turns heads and starts conversations. Call Chris today! |

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.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
