in Daytona Beach, Florida with no (zero, zilch, nada) problems.
The Cons
-The passenger window and rear window have scratches. We decided to keep them because they were original
-The windscreen does have two small chips (no cracks). Again we kept it because it is original
-The light covers (front and rear) have cracks and ware but they are original Lucas lights which is again, why we
decided to use them rather than after market lights.
Vehicle History
This vehicle was originally made for export (hence the left-side-drive) and was imported originally from England to
El Salvador. It had two owners prior to our purchase of it (06/15) on the 45th Anniversary (to the day) of the
release of the Range Rover. It was drivable when we bought it and had been in no serious accidents prior and had
very little rust on the under carriage and astonishingly no rust on the frame (the vehicle was garage kept by both
owners). We drove it back to our shop in Antigua, Guatemala and commenced on an 11 month frame-off restoration
(restoration photos available upon request). The very little amounts of ware on the engine found during the rebuild
confirmed the accuracy of the odometer. Once completed we drove it from Guatemala to Daytona Beach, Florida where
it was then legally imported and given a clean Florida Title.
Price & Additional Information
We know what this Rover is worth. Not only is it the oldest available for sale in North America, it's also arguably
in the best original condition (by comparison) and has undergone a complete restoration less than two months ago.
We work exclusively with classic Range Rovers, Series, and Defenders and as stated this is our fifth RRC 2-Door
restoration to date with two more currently underway.

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
