1997 Land Rover Discovery Offroader Rock Crawler on 2040-cars
Waltham, Massachusetts, United States
|
If you have been looking for an Expedition vehicle this black beauty might be worth your consideration. This is a fully loaded Disco. Power everything and it even has heated seats and 2 sunroofs. Nice European leather interior. It is loaded with some of the best equipment for off-road driving and serious expedition travel. This Disco would also make a great starting platform for an awesome rock crawler.
Good: This Disco has a long list of aftermarket parts worth much more than the starting bid. Front and rear RoverTym bumpers, and matching side rock sliders. Front and rear skid plats. Legendary Hannibal Safari aluminum roofrack. Completely reworked suspension including coilovers, Bilsteins, front and rear link assemblies, rear shock mounts, etc., etc., even minor things like extended stainless braided brake lines. 5 steel NATO wheels with Interco’s TrXus. Bad: Currently, it is being driven daily, but it really should not be bought to be a daily commute vehicle – it’s a weekend toy. It has aftermarket exhaust which is very load. You might like that or you might not. The engine light is on. According to my mechanic it is due to O2 sensors. I did not bother to change them and the light has been on for years, but motor seems to be running strong as always. In my state due to its age I do not need to pass emissions test, but your state might be different and you might need to replace O2. You also might want to replace rotors and pads. There are signs of minor surface rust here and there. A weekend project to clean and repaint these spots is a good idea. It has been used as an offroad expedition toy so minor scratches and other imperfections should be expected. Also, I unplugged rear power windows for safety while rock crawling. Bottom line this Disco is a great starting point for a rock crawler build. Add a winch, lockers and higher gears, and you got yourself an awesome rig. All sales are final. Sold As Is, Where Is. Good luck. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?
Tue, 01 Jul 2014At 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 Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
