1995 Land Rover Discovery (manual Transmission) on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
This Rover has been driven wet and put away hard, but it has been loved and well maintained. It is NOT a daily driver and is only really happy when it's covered in mud. The 1995 Discovery is the last of the normally aspirated, mechanical ignition models and is therefore highly desirable as an off-road vehicle. Even more desirable is the five speed manual transmission (very rare in the USA.)
This Rover is street legal and registered in Florida. However, it is far from stock. The factory Discovery had a very narrow wheel base and low suspension geometry. This Discovery is three inches higher with new heavy-duty coil-over shocks and is five inches wider than it was when it left the factory (w/aluminum spacers.) It has four stock alloy rims with BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain tires (with less than five thousand miles on them.) The exhaust, rear of the cats, is less than two years old and was replaced with a custom, single magnaflow muffler. This modification provides a marked performance improvement without a marked increase in noise. All the running gear fluids were serviced annually, the break and clutch hydraulics are all less than two years old and the engine has received progressive maintenance and replacements which included new coil, new harness, new belts, new belt tensioner, and select electronic replacements. The starter motor is less than two years old and the ignition relay has been augmented with push button start. The interior is in fair physical condition for its age. The rear seats are factory split 70/30 where the single (driver side) can be removed to provide extra cargo space. The spongy lining under the carpet has been removed because it would retain moisture. The front seats are covered to protect the factory cloth, which is in good condition. The factory air and heat both blow cold and hot respectively, however, neither are ever used. The driver and front passenger window motor are less than two years old, however the rear window motor were deliberately disabled. The central locking system, the factory alarm and factory sound system have also been disabled. The bodywork is visibly in good condition with some corrosion. The frame is in excellent condition and still retains the factory anti-corrosion barrier. This Rover includes many extra accessories including a rear ladder, roof rack, off-road tool straps, Hella floods and a brush guards. If you are looking for a serious AWD TOY (that is not a Jeep,) this is your vehicle. Please don't buy it if you won't risk getting it stuck! |

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
