Introduction:

 

This is a clean, excellent family Rover with tons of servicing.  Whether you are looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast, you will LOVE this clean low mile RUST FREE TRUCK.  This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:

Vehicle Driving and Features:

 

Let me talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL.  ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover.  It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck.  On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck.  ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension.  Next – Rear Air Suspension.  This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME.  The same goes for towing.  I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable.  Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most  later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service.  Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!

 

The cabin is quiet and odor free.  This was a NON SMOKER truck.  The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.

 

Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners.  It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles!  As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day.  I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.

 

 

Purchasing and Perspective:

 

If you brought this truck to me and did all of the servicing that I have listed, you would EASILY SPEND $7K+ to service this truck.  Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER.  WHENEVER.  I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term.  Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it!  When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years.  You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck.  That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.”  They need to be maintained.  They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance.  While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly.  No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that.  In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior.  The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove.  While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny.  This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors).  I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!”  This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. 


Obviously, I spend a lot of time writing these ad's trying to give you a sense of each Rover's unique profile.  I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!!  There is no question too small or obscure.  This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition.  Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand!  Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!!  That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time.  I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available. 

 

Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK.  Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY.  Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit. 

 

I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica.  One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!).  I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare.  Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there.  If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME.  Don’t settle for less.

 

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go.  There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission

Sat, Dec 20 2014

Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.

GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse

Fri, Dec 19 2014

The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.
