1993 Range Rover Lwb, Sable Edition - With Air Suspension - Rare Land Rover on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:159000
Location:

Valrico, Florida, United States

Valrico, Florida, United States

For sale is my County Sable Edition 1993 Range Rover Long Wheel Base - SALHC1343PA639159. 


Wife finally making me sell my third vehicle to get our garage back - not to mention kid college fund ;)


Air suspension works as it should; never buy a LWB converted to coil springs (trust me, I have owned three).


Only year to have the beautiful Mediterranean Poplar wood trim – just awesome.


Refer to www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/1993.html for all specs. 


Sable model was a $1,500 option introduced mid-way in 1993 model year. 


There were approximately 200 of the models with the Beluga Black paint and "Unique Black Accent CSK Wheels and Dark Sable Connolly Leather Seats and Trim". 


fyi - CSK was introduced to Range Rover in 1991 as a special edition model named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original 2-door Range Rover.


The 1993 County LWB was named "Best New Light Truck or Sport Utility Vehicle " by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).


It was also named "Best Sport Utility Vehicle in North America" by Playboy Magazine.


California model: all 1993s sold in CA had an extra $100.00 charge "For costs incurred by LRNA to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements."


Three owners with first owner having it 18 years, as follows:


>Original owner was dentist in San Fran, CA.; he owned it from 1993 new to approx. 2011 and clearly loved it with many refreshings including the new engine we will go over below.


>Second owner, also from CA, had a few unique range rovers but mostly was involved in a California Porsche club.


>Third owner (me, private seller) - a Land Rover enthusiast that has owned four over the last 16 years (one new Discovery II and three pre-owned RR LWBs, 1993/4/5


I honestly like the 93/4 LWB models better than the 1995 (even though the 95 had airbags with the discovery soft dash).  Why?  The classic dash set up - old school British!


I transported on a reputable car carrier from CA to FL - not driven.


New engine, 4.6, was installed at 112K mileage - a $9K upgrade - see picture of invoice.  Only 45k miles on it - many, many years to go!  See receipt picture


A high performance cam was installed same time as engine to increase performance and drive ability.


fyi - original model’s 4.2 V-8 had 200 HP; the 4.6 has 225 and feels and sounds very stronger (as I have owned two other lwbs). 


Driver side electric seat went out a year ago but believe it could just be a fuse; anyone over 5 feet, 9 inches does not need to move seat anyways. 


The passenger side seems to work ok moving back but lately started having issues moving forward; regardless, due to the uniqueness of classic range rovers, I recommend the new owner keep seats in a standard position at all times (in case they go out).


Heated front windshield and front seats do not work as per normal on rangies but not a huge deal.


Multiple sets of keys and remote key fobs.


Original manual and papers included. 


Tail gate is fine but new owner may want to replace frame with aftermarket aluminum version within five+ years; the tail gates on all rangies have issues as it is a steel component; you can replace the frame reasonably (or the whole glass unit). 


The main body is aluminum and is in great shape except for the passenger door bottom area (four inches) were a patch was done (but cannot really see well) - see picture. 


No wrecks; also, the Paint is original - still shiny too as evidenced by pictures; amazing looking truck that turns heads. 


Connolly Leather has been deeply conditioned four times in last three years; prior to that it is unknown but the leather is very, very nice.  Lexol brand is way to go!


Front seats almost look as if no one sat in them; what impresses me most is how thick the British Connolly leather is on the 1993s. 


Rear seats are almost incredible but there is one area that is a little dry so could later be redyed (6 inch area), etc to get back to normal (albeit unnecessary).


Battery installed late 2012 from second owner.


Tires are new from second owner and are like 95%; they were bought in 2012 by second owner


Expensive fuel filter installed 2014 (tough to replace in back right of vehicle).


I will include a new air filter in its box (for later use).


Sunroof and air suspension operate with no issues.


Headliner was replaced by second owner and is perfect; only the sunroof portion is not 100% - just needs minor regluing (albeit unnecessary). 


The pictures are mostly done in the neutral air suspension position but I have a couple shots showing the high and low profile ride heights. 


Again, never buy a Rangie LWB converted to coil springs as it (1) loses it charm, (2) usually has the car sit too high, and (3) loses its very unique feel (very squishy and I love it).


Front passenger door has the minor issue repaired by first owner - I believe he had opened it into a San Fran curb but you cannot see the patch; it should be corrected only if repainted.


Original manual and what we believe are full records – massive stack of papers including the document for the engine conversion.


iPod port installed by second owner.


Second owner also installed the nice light guards. 


Multi-CD changer. 


Cassette stock radio with a/d/s speakers and subwoofer.


For me, the major draw to 1993 vs 1994 was the Mediterranean Popular wood; they switched to burlwood for 1994. 


Wood is a 9+/10 condition; only the shifter cap is faded and can easier be replaced (if even wanted).


Rare Sable rear cover included; that alone draws major dollars in the aftermarket.


Dash is perfect; zero cracking, etc.; this truck has been cared for and is definitely one that will remain a strong classic for another decade+.


The undercarriage is super clean; it had some type of coating/painting done by a previous owner (but I do not know details).


Air conditioning and heating work as they should. 


No air bags. 


Cup holders are great but if you want more let me know and I’ll include the bolt on ones I took off an old Land Rover Discovery (otherwise I may sell those on ebay for a nice sum).


I know a concern with most SUVs is whether or not a shorter person can get in easily; no worries as the air suspension can be lowered when you park.


Smoke Free by me last two years; no info on owners 1 & 2.


Cruise control not working but that is common issue on these SUVs.


Sold new at British Motors of San Francisco Ca.


It was heavily been dealer serviced and maintained but specialist Roverland in San Francisco has performed majority of services.


This car has been owned by three meticulous enthusiasts that treated the car well. 


LWB is the only way to go for the Classic Rangies; the short wheel bases just don't compare.


Last series of RRs that were old school British (they dropped off with the 1996 model).


H4 headlights.


Serviced factory air suspension by owners one and two; I never had to service it as third owner.


The rangie has a slightly throaty sound from the upgraded NRP after-market exhaust system the second owner installed.


Replaced right front caliper and new brake pads in July 2012.


Factory remote key system works perfectly on one fob but the second one has a dead battery (no big deal to replace).


Other work done by owners two/three: the catalytic convertors, transfer case, front wheel bearings, radiator, water pump, brakes.


The headliner is new; only the sunroof portion has some unstuck glue (easily corrected).  


Second owner installed medium after-market tint (which looks nice with Black paint); this can be removed easily, if wanted.


MESSAGE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

Clean title; I own this SUV out right.

***This is a 1993 so please don't expect a show car - but do expect an 8 out of 10 in my eye - a rangie you will be very proud of***.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar 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 to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At 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.

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.
