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! |

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
