Hershey, Pennsylvania, United States

Hershey, Pennsylvania, United States

Garage kept 2003 Land Rover Discovery. Since new this has been a Disco that has been maintained in an extraordinary fashion by only two owners. The first owner has been an administrator at the Hershey Antique auto museum for the duration of the car’s in-service life. All schedule services from new have been documented in the vehicle's Land Rover service manual. The car has had careful attention to all usual trouble spots. For instance, the differential and transmission fluids have been changed before 60, before 90 and at 115k. New front drive shaft May 2014!! These are services ahead of schedule to keep the keep the drive line quiet, smooth and long lasting. The obvious issues are addressed as needed. The vehicle has of course had intake gasket service and does not drip or ooze coolant. The car does not use oil. The car receives frequent oil changes in the 3- 5 k range with lucas oil additives to keep the engine fresh and tight. The vehicle has never been in an accident. Recent upgrades in the last 4k miles, new steering pump. New Michelins. Pictures should show the spare tire to be new, never on the road and, the rim I do not believe has ever been mounted. The rims are in very, very nice condition. The rims do show the changing position of wheel weights, but the rims are not bent or gashed in any way. The leather is very, very nice. No known leather tears. There is a small snag in the rear trunk area on the back of a lower seat area. The only detractor in the car is a sagging roof liner over the passenger side door. This is common and you will find it in all Discos at this point in their life. The only real fix is to remove and recover(about 400.00) or replace (about 900.00) I bought the car in the fall of 2013 from the original owner as she had just inherited a BMW from her father. I have owned over 20 newer Rovers, from 2001 to current, but I did not have a Rover for the winter and this was daily driver. The vehicle was washed a minimum of twice a week over the rougher months and sometimes twice a day. When looking at the undercarriage, it is a testimony to the vehicles care. There is no significant rust. My last two Disco’s eventually needed some frame repair as they were not attended to by prior owners. This car is extra rust free, there is virtually no scaling under the car, it is just that clean. All service was done by Land Rover Harrisburg and by Trevor at British 4x4 in Elizabethtown, PA> Trevor will speak to anyone who might want an overall report on the car. The last oil change was done at Land Rover Harrisburg and the vehicle received a full green light(standard Land Rover check list done at any vehicle service) on all mechanical checks including front and rear brakes, tires and all other conditions. The body is ridiculously clean and any buyer will feel the car must have had some repaint to be this nice. Only the front left bumper cover was recently redone as I grazed an post while parking. The CD player is excellent as is the sound system. Many old Discos have cracking stereos and failed CD players, this car is top flight in performance. Lastly, around town I consistently pull at or just under 15mpg. Which, in the 6 discos I have owned, 4 from new, this is the best performing vehicle of the lot. Feel free to phone me 717-773-1711. The car is priced fairly. I have already declined 6k, thus low offers will not benefit a prospective buyer or myself. Best regards, Todd

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil 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.
