                  Reluctantly I am selling my summer project, a completely rust-free 2000 DII that I purchased from the original owner back in June. I liked it because it was a simpler SD with NO sunroofs and the cloth interior ( I always thought it was cool), and it came in a fairly rare special-order burgundy finish. 
 It was also a REAL 1-owner vehicle, that has always lived all of its life here in the balmy mid-peninsula Northern California weather ( NO nasty hidden nor overt rust issues like almost every single one coming from the East coast or the rust belt down south, or a flood car ), purchased brand-new at Cole European ( when they were down on California Drive in Burlingame, CA; they have since relocated to Walnut Creek, CA).
The Discovery was given to the daughter (who frankly was lost in the sauce when it came to car maintenance), and she could not afford it or had any idea as to maintenance and repairs. 
It was at that time in serious need of tires (less than 5% left), thus the first thing I did was to have a set of new KUHMO radial tires installed. Also replaced one of the rear SLS bags and now cycles perfect.
My plan was to have this DII set up with a mild lift kit, but found an older DI XD instead, that had already had all kinds of $ put into it.


              This Discovery is a basic DII series, SD model (with no sunroofs as previously mentioned, so good-bye sunroof leaks or broken sunroofs to contend with), with fairly rare cloth interior.
160K original miles on its original BOSCH 4.0L engine, which actually runs very well.  It has the standard Land Rover amenities such as AC, Power windows ( and ALL FOUR work; I replaced the driver's side regulator, the one that always breaks), central locking ( which actually works, with a functional remote, actually two), factory alarm, etc.
It has near-new tires ( at least 95% tread left) mounted on the factory 16" alloy wheels, and the brakes look like they were recently done F and R. All rotors are mirror-perfect, withtout any grooves, hot spots or gouges. Also had a new water pump installed recently.

               The Disco II needs some work, as the temp gauge went up to 3/4 twice on me. I tried to figure out a pattern, but it occurred at random ( once right in front of my house, and another time after having driven for about 45 miles coming back from the east bay).
I have not replaced the thermostat, the clutch fan, cooling fan sensor or the radiator, and do not think that they have before, so it may very well be its time. It could very well be simply one of those issues, but I would like to be upfront about any impending repairs needed.
I did purchase a brand-new clutch fan ( made in the USA, not some junk part made in China), but never installed it. There is no oil in the water, or water in the oil. The coolant level remains the same, and does not mysteriously disappear. There is NO spewing of coolant, water vapor or any weird smoke coming out of the tailpipe, either.

 I simply do not have the facilities to do the repairs myself, and my dear spouse is about to hang me because I showed up at the house with yet another Land Rover ( if you are wondering why I am selling it!), thus the reason to list it for sale. The Rover is very straight, and it would make a terrific off-road Land Rover.
          Additionally, it does NOT have SRS, ABS nor CHECK ENGINE lights on ( and they are ALL connected; no removed or "burned out" bulbs here like most people do, rather than perform the repairs properly). CA DMV fees are all paid thru SEP 13. I have a clear California title and also a CARFAX / AUTOCHECK REPORT available for you to see:

               Overall, it is a very solid, COMPLETELY RUST-FREE Land Rover Discovery II, a fairly rare SD model, with good running powertrain.  CLEAR California title, NEVER wrecked and NEVER in an accident. It has not been through a dozen owners, car auctions or sleazy car lots. It was purchased new by the original owner, and then passed on to me.

         Feel free to EM me or call with questions (650) 430-4660 * If you are far and out of the area, I would be willing to help transport it anywhere in the US at the most economical transporter rate available. 
   Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in order prior to placing a bid, to ensure a seamless and smooth transaction for both of us.
Method of payment can be a cashier's check or money order. Personal, business, C.C or annuity checks may be used, but must clear funds prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Additionally, a bank wire transfer our local CHASE Bank branch here in San Mateo can be utilized, as it expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.
Finally, PAYPAL may be an alternative if previously arranged between both the prospective buyer and seller ( me).
               Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the title and bill of sale to the Landie, via USPS Priority with tracking, unless noted otherwise.
I shall be glad to assist / arrange transportation or delivery of this Discovery II to any location nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available. You pay the transporter for his cost upon delivery of the Rover.
  Feel free to EM me or call with questions.  Thanks a lot for your interest~!

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The 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.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
