One of One!

Introduction:

If you have been looking for an exceptionally clean, impossibly rare, fully serviced, fully loaded Land Rover Discovery; your truck has just shown up!  I could not believe it when I got my hands on her, but this vehicle is part of a rare class of trucks reportedly built at Land Rover’s only facility outside of England.  There are just a hand-full of these European optioned, North American Spec vehicles out there and having confirmed it personally with LRNA as well as a few other national data-bases, this truck is the ONLY CONISTON GREEN EURO NAS TRUCK IN NORTH AMERICA.  Take a good look folks, this example is more than just an awesome truck, it is a true piece of Land Rover history.

Service and Reliability:

Service and reliability come first with me always.  There isn’t anyone else out there like me offering restored vintage Land Rovers… I own them, collect them and love them too.  I race them professionally.  I spend countless man hours making sure they are as ready to go as possible and my work has been featured in Land Rover Owner international & Land Rover World magazines.  Here are the service highlights for this amazing truck, GENUINE parts ALWAYS FIT: 

  1. Complete 3 angle valve job and head gasket service including: cooling system fluid flush and renewal, head gasket renewal, head stretch bolt renewal, intake resealed, valve covers resealed,  throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil and filter renewed.

Styling and Options:

If you have been following me on eBay, then you know I am never really at a loss for where to begin my descriptions on a Land Rover vehicle.  This truck has stopped me DEAD in my tracks!  I’ve got to say, like most of you probably are, I am blown away first by the color. “Coniston Green” was a color reserved for the premier launch of the first Land Rover Discovery’s and never to be seen again. To have this celebrated factory color on a Discovery Series II is something truly to brag about.  The paint is EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH to the touch and as pictured, I have tried to show it in a variety of lighting compositions to showcase how rich of a color it is.  In blistering sun, it resembles a military green. As the lighting shifts, the cool blue hues transform the color to a deep forest green.  Sunset actually makes the color of the truck appear blue; and then black.  As I have said, I have personally confirmed it to be the only one here in the U.S.A. so if you have been looking for the unique Rover to have, this is it! 

The Light-Stone leather is velvety smooth with all seating surfaces clean and soft and rich.  All power seats work, as do the split folding benches and rear jump seats.  The carpeting pile is still soft and the armrest velour on the door-cards are virtually wear free!  You always see a driver’s left elbow print on the driver’s door-card – not to be found here! The headliner is brand new and the GENUINE rubber floor mats in front, rear, and cargo are in EXCELLENT condition.

It smells like a brand-new car inside!

Want something to truly blow away any other Land Rover out there? How about having a European instrument cluster with all warning symbols as their European counterpart!  Got speed?  Well driving around a truck with a cluster in KM/H will make any short drive appear more spirited.  Let’s say you’re cruising around at 50mph but you look down and the needle is pointing at “80;” there is an instantaneous link with this truck having come from Europe.  Yes, all Land Rovers are European vehicles. This one is PURE! The digital odometer display is calibrated in miles, so no worry there when it comes time to register your vehicle.

The 18” Pro-Line style wheels are in excellent shape and all bumpers, bull-bars, lights, etc are as perfect as you would hope to find.

As this has been a California Car since 10K miles on, it is wonderfully rust, rot and corrosion free!

Performance and Operation:

She’s more than just looks!  With its low miles and full service package this vehicle is a BLAST to drive!  The engine has tons of power and launches off the line with total confidence. It does not overheat, tick, knock, rattle, stumble or hesitate at all.  Toggle the selectable sport mode and you charge onto the motorways without ever needing to see what’s coming behind you.  She is brilliantly quiet out in the open and does not shimmy or wander at all.  It is one of the few D2’s out there that still retains its rail-road like ride.  She EASLIY cruises at 100mph and can most certainly go beyond.

The Active Cornering Enhancement system works great. This innovation eliminates virtually all body roll from the vehicle. For example, I test all ACE vehicles on a nice long looping freeway interchange at high speed.  The body is PLANTED and the steering sticks as would a higher end sports-car.  She also passes my Mulholland Drive test…. A fabled twisty stretch of roadway here where one mistake means disaster. Pushed to its limits, this truck makes even a harrowing drive like that feel like a walk in the park.  Take an ACE vehicle off-road and you have total control and articulation over severe terrain where you would otherwise see vehicles being tossed from side to side.

The AC is great, and so is the heat.  This was always a non smoker truck so you don’t have to worry about anything flying out of the vents including stale air!  All auto lock doors, windows, sunroofs and power options work great.  The loadspace area is clean, the retractable cover is intact and in perfect working order, it is equipped with rear audio entertainment on both sides and all jump seat parcel shelves, handles and anchors are excellent.

Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:

No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD.  It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE.  Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands. 

 All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else.  Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle.  Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks.  They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Classic without these services are ticking time bombs.  I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic.  I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval.  I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept:  DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY?  WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT?  The answer is always yes.  And that’s when I know they are ready.  I care.  I know you do, too.

Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet.  They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it!  The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership.  Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.  I have A LOT of copy-cats out there.  If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to “cut-n-paste” my listings!!!

While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune to future service needs and flaws.  They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old.  Case in point for this vehicle in particular, the ONLY wear that I can find on it are on the outer lower driver’s seat bolster where there is a typical wear crack to the material and on the drivers and passenger door, where there is a minimal parking lot variety pencil line scratch and dent.  I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW!  There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here.  Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON.  Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION.  Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such.  There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win!  Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay.  This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle.  Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment.  The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it.  Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding.  Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.

Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward.  Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition.

Who is this truck for:

Good question! First, it’s for anyone looking for a quality Land Rover that is as distinctive as it is reliable. It can be a great daily driver, family car, weekender, guest vehicle and beyond. The deeper you look into this truck, I am certain that it will attract the attention of the collector and the Rover enthusiast crowd.  THIS IS THE ONLY ONE HERE!!!! If my instincts are correct, I have a feeling it will come down to a few fella’s who see this as the ultimate platform for an “Event Truck.”  Its rare. Its clean. Its everything to incite the envy of your Rover buddies.  And now, put a tasteful lift on it. Lights. An SD roof rack. A color matched slim-line winch bumper.  And all of a sudden you have something in your hands distinctive and capable the world over.  I imagine this truck battling through the deep greens and muddied tracks of the south… or climbing out of Hell’s revenge in Utah… against the red slick rock and clear blue sky.  This truck has SO MUCH potential its crazy.  However, what it always comes down to is this: What’s your vision and what will you do with this amazing one of a kind truck?  Happy Rovering!

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

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.

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
