Very clean, wonderfully maintained & always garaged 2002 Land Rover Discovery II SE with only 62,000 miles, silver. This vehicle has never been out of warranty & STILL HAS 1 YEAR LEFT ON EXTENDED WARRANTY (expires on 3/02/15 or 85,042 miles) & includes 24 hr Road Side Assistance. All service has been performed by Land Rover Austin. Dual Sun Roofs Dual Power Seats Rear A/C Cargo Cover Rhino Tire Cover Carpeted Floor mats Roof Ladder 18” Hurricane Wheels 6 Disc CD Player Mechanics: Always maintained at Land Rover Austin. 4 New Michelin MXV4, New Master Cylinder, New brakes front/rear, New Battery August 2013, Transmission replaced at 36,000 miles Exterior: Always garaged, so there is very little wear for a 12 year old vehicle. There are a few (very few) door dings, etc. but there are some. Scratches on passenger side behind the rear door. Overall the paint is in great shape and the body is near perfect. Interior: Very, very clean, smoker free vehicle. There are no stains in the interior, neither seats nor floors. We rarely had anyone in the back seats. This is probably the cleanest 12 year old Land Rover to be found anywhere. That being said, there are a few things that need to be pointed out. There are five issues: ·
First, there is a tear in the leather on the
back of the front passenger seat. This
is from folding the rear seat down. A
part of the rear seat actually tears the front seat. I have asked at the dealership and was told
that almost all of these have the same tear (noted in pictures). · Second, there is a tear on the back of the driver’s seat arm rest for the same reason as noted above (noted in pictures).. · Third, on the upgraded, plush carpeted floor mat for the driver, my heel has created a worn spot. But not stains or rips on any of them (noted in pictures).. · Fourth, the hand brake’s vinyl “boot” has begun to flake. Not sure why. This is a readily available part from third party vendors for about $20. · Fifth, the headliner has just begun to sag. But, it does not hang down so much that it is noticeable to anyone outside the vehicle. Overall, this much loved Land Rover Discovery II SE is in outstanding shape. I have done my best to represent it as accurately as possible by pointing out the good, the bad & the ugly. The reserve is set low, below KBB, but do not expect to "steal" this incredibly clean vehicle. I am advertising this vehicle locally, so I may end the auction early. If you have little or no feedback score or negative feedback I will cancel your bid. Bid Early & Bid Often. Thanks for looking!

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was 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.
Jaguar Land Rover reveals Bond cars [w/video]
Tue, Sep 15 2015We interrupt your regularly scheduled Frankfurt Motor Show coverage to bring you something far cooler. Jaguar Land Rover has officially introduced the cars it's lending to the latest James Bond film, Spectre. There's not much that wasn't previously covered as part JLR's February 2015 release, although there are some comments from the stars, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. At the very forefront of the British brand's charge is the Jaguar C-X75, the stillborn concept that set hearts aflutter with its handsome looks and its innovative turbine-powered drivetrain. According to Jaguar Land Rover, the orange supercar will be piloted by baddie Dave Bautista as part of an enormous chase scene throughout Rome. Meanwhile, Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris in her second Bond flick, will pilot the blacked-out Defender. For those that remember Skyfall, Miss Moneypenny spent most of the film's pre-title sequence tearing through Istanbul, Turkey behind the wheel of a silver Defender. Joining the Defender is the most powerful vehicle Land Rover has ever produced. The new Range Rover Sport SVR will show up wearing a menacing black paint job and featuring some extra lighting on both its roof and in its bumper. It's not clear who will be driving the 550-horsepower SVR, but in the photos released by JLR, it's shown trading places with a pair of Defenders as they rampage through the Austrian snow. Check out the photos of the vehicles below. You'll find both studio stuff and some set photos. There's also a full press release from JLR, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs
Thu, Feb 1 2018LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
