Altai Silver on Granite Gray! Offered only for 1996, this color combo is a unique moment for Discovery in the US! If you have been looking for a serviced, low mile, wonderful driving Discovery, wait no longer!
Background: Let me begin with a little background. It was ordered in a uncommon color and option package. To begin with, this is the fantastic SE7 model. The SE7 model and this specific truck were optioned and were graced with Land Rover "Castor" (the factory name) wheels, 7 seats, rear AC, dual sunroofs and few other wonderful trim pieces. Originally first sold in Los Angeles in January of 1996 and serviced by LA dealerships for most of its life, the Rover stayed in sunny SoCal its whole life. The Condition and Service: This truck has been ENTHUSIASTICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY maintained and serviced and is a high standard for Rover service! Let's start on the engine and drivetrain: This engine has LOW MILES (less than 6,500 a year), only 110,000 miles appear on the odometer and the entire truck shows the same care. There has been A TON of scheduled and preventive maintenance performed to this truck to keep in near brand new condition. The engine is very healthy and has loads of smooth power! -HEAD GASKETS As part of the preventive service schedule, this truck received brand new OEM head gaskets and OEM headbolts. It was installed by a master Rover tech with several decades of experience. The truck runs COOL as can be and has never overheated. -UPPER AND LOWER ENGINE GASKETS While being serviced, the valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets, valve stem seals, upper intake gaskets and crank seal, all resealed among a few other minor seals. NONE of these were leaking, but were done in order to keep with the same high regard and care. -LOWER ENGINE Great shape, no knocks or mechanical issues!! As with ALL Rovers there is some minor "moisture" at oil pan seals, power steering etc. Its the British car way. That said the truck leaves no puddles or drips. -RADIATOR The radiator was cleaned and rodded in order to keep maximum flow and keep this beauty nice and cool. The temp needle NEVER moves past 7/8pm even with the AC on and in traffic. -WATER PUMP Brand new OEM replacement pump! -HOSES New OEM hoses -IGNITION Brand new Champion coppers (the RIGHT plugs) and wires. -BATTERY BRAND NEW battery!! -EMERGENCY BRAKE Recently adjusted and tight, only a couple notches on the handle holds the truck tight -TRANSMISSION The trans was just given all new fluid and shifts great! -DIFFS and DRIVESHAFTS New gear oil in the diffs and lubricated u-joints -SWIVEL BALLS Fresh grease, serviced and shims Lets move to the suspension and brakes: -BRAKES BRAND NEW OEM brake pads in the front and rear - loads of pad life! The truck brakes great. No ABS lights! -SHOCKS Great feeling OEM shocks. They are soft on bumps and tight in corners. The trucks handles wonderfully! -STEERING The steering is tight and has no excess play as you may find in MANY Discoveries. -4WD SYSTEM 4WD Low and High both work great! Let's continue to the exterior: -PAINT The paint is very nice! It is a 7 out of 10. The truck shines up very nice as seen in the pics! Ther are some minor flaws in the paint though. There is some clearcoat chipping and fading on the roof and some fading on the doors and trunk. Its minor fading, but just trying to be thorough! CLEAN and CLEAR CarFax. There are few minor dings which are very hard to see in pics and in person and there are some touch ups to the paint on the truck on various parts of the truck. Remember this is a 18 year old truck, there may be some minor scratches, wear etc, but they are below any expectation level for Discoveries or cars of this year. I try to explain these the trucks the best I can! The rest of the exterior is in very nice shape! -TIRES Great shape OEM Michelin XPC!!!!! These tires are fantastic both on and off-road! -WHEELS The wheels are in great shape with no major flaws or curbing. The Castors look fantastic on the truck! -GLASS Not to let a pebble defeat this truck, the windshield is great shape! -TRAILER HITCH The Disco has a factory trailer hitch and is wired up and ready to tow. Onto the cabin: -SEATS The Granite Gray seats are fantastic!!! There is NO tears, NO seams coming apart. They are incredibly supportive with what feels like zero foam wear. The leather is in very nice shape! Check out the jump seats! Impossible to find granite gray jump seats and these are in fantastic shape! -DOOR PANELS One of the big things with Discos is the top of the drivers side door panel gets cracked...not this one! All of the panels are free of dents or major defects. -HEADLINER No sags or tears in this headliner - nice shape!!! -CARPET Nice carpet in the truck. Check out the pictures! Clean, no tears and no major stains! -POWER SEATS All power seat functions work perfect! Hard to find in a Discovery! -POWER LOCKS All doors lock and unlock with central locking function and OEM remote! A rare find! -POWER WINDOWS All windows work smooth and quickly! -RADIO/CD CHANGER OEM radio works great as well as the OEM CD player! -AC/HEAT AC is arctic cold and Heat is earth core hot! The rear AC/Heat works great too! -MIRRORS Power mirrors work perfectly! -STEERING WHEEL The leather is very nice, no tears or issues! -CARGO AREA Cargo cover in place and operating (usually they are missing!). Good luck finding a granite gray cargo cover! -MISCELLANEOUS The OEM roof rack bars are on the roof and the original jack and ramp are are the hood The Experience Driving this Discovery is fantastic. It is Lexus quiet inside, pulls and handles like a sports car and is as comfortable as a Rolls Royce. Its got all the power it had from the factory and from even a little gas is torquey and responsive. I hope you can tell by my long ad that this truck is a great pre-owned and uncommon color combination Land Rover. Serviced and ready to enjoy for decades to come, or to further restore its minor cosmetic flaws or to make a camp or off road truck. It's LOW miles and ready to go another 100k++ miles. Treat yourself to this truck, that you will not have to dump TONS of money into in this NO RESERVE AUCTION! There is well over $5k in recent scheduled and preventive service alone in this truck so you are ready to go another 100k+++ of care free miles. Don't buy an unserviced truck for a little less than spend 2 times as much to get it to this level of service! Feel free to ask me any questions at all. Residents around the country I am happy to be flexible for your arranged shipper so that you can get your new truck as soon as possible. CA residents, registration recently expired, but I will deduct the expired registration cost from the final auction price so you will pay exactly what is fair! My standard disclaimer/mantra for any car regardless of service or price: The truck is sold with no warranty. You are buying a used car. Eventually every car will break, if you find one that doesn't please let me know. I do my ABSOLUTE BEST to offer only cars that are of TOP NOTCH service. I am not a dealer, just a guy who loves Rovers (among other cars) and hope to pass along my passion and fervor for these trucks. That said if ever you encounter an issue I do my best to provide advice, direction or even parts if I have them. Please understand that it is a used car and will have minor signs of use. That means please do not expect a showroom brand new truck. Please adjust your expectation level to that of a 110,000 mile truck that however is above average for its year with some minor cosmetic flaws. Please only bid if you intend to buy. If you would like to have eBay 3rd party mechanic service check out the truck I more than welcome it. Please check your local laws and registration procedures before buying. Please ask any and all questions ahead of purchase. All sales are final, you are buying as-is, the sky is blue, etc, etc. Sorry to have to give the boring speech. Please feel free to ask any and all questions!! Happy Rover-trails!!!! |

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)
Thu, Sep 30 2021Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.  No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?
BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech
Wed, Jun 5 2019FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.
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.
