Solid 1995 Land Rover Discovery Series I, an SD model. This is the second year of the Discovery Series 1 in the U.S ( which still shared most of its running gear with the Range Rover Short Wheelbase). It is a very straight, RUST-FREE DI throughout, to include chassis, undercarriage, roofline and gutters, door panels, fenders, quarter panels, door sills, rocker panels and tailgate areas. NO fading of the roof or hood, a fairly common problem on all Land Rovers.

It is fairly loaded with some Power amenities such as Power windows ( all four work, to include a recently replaced driver's side regulator, the one that always goes out), central locking, factory alarm, etc. This Discovery I is a non Power-sunroof model ( less hassles with the leakage-prone models), roof bars and the factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed). It also has the optional knubbed-rubber heavy duty mats and rear-access hydraulic step.

Completely stock 3.9L engine ( the last series engine shared with the Range Rover SWB Classic motor), NOT one of the 4.6L nightmare motors of later DIIs with the endemic cases of slipped cylinder sleeves, premature oil-pressure failure or defective-block issues. (Ever wonder why out of all Discovery models for sale most are 03-04s, and not the earlier ones..?).

It has had a new water pump installed, fuel pump, BOSCH alternator and some other maintenance items. It also has DEFENDER alloy wheels with nice CONTINENTAL tires all the way around, with approximately 70% tread remaining.

150K original miles, and its condition reflects it. No engine issues or other drama. This Discovery I runs VERY well, tracks straight and drives nicely both in town and in the highway.

All Power accessories work well, to include its COLD Air Conditioning system, all four Power windows, both Power mirrors, and all instruments, heater/defroster, horn, radio an lights.

There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or HDC lights turned off or reset).

Considering its vintage, This Discovery I is remarkably clean, and the photos do not do it justice~! The 1995 SD is one of the most popular years with off-road enthusiasts because of its simpler, basic mechanics and electrical systems unlike later models. It is turn-key, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker.

The interior upholstery is in good shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather, except for a wear spot on the bottom of the driver's seat as pictured, as expected from age. Nevertheless, this SD came with the optional leather interior instead of the usual cloth ( standard in all SD models). The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area.

Feel free to EM or call with pertinent questions or serious inquiries. I can be reached at (650) 430-4660, no later than 9pm PST, please.

I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. While I am not a mechanic, I am an avid Land Rover enthusiast ( I own four others) and consider myself fairly well-versed on most of the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DI as a VERY solid, straight and rust-free example of an unrestored Land Rover Discovery, specially one of the early ones.

Honest CARFAX REPORT. CLEAR title. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its general condition reflects it.

Overall, a straight, good-running and good looking D1, ready for trips, trails or off-road excursions with a reasonable opening bid and no reserve. Runs and drives well and it looks good. And the best part, it is a truly rust-free Discovery I.

* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should a serious offer or a BUY-IT-NOW offer present itself.

I am glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Discovery.

Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to the local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Upon receipt of payment, I will overnight the title and Bill of sale to the winning bidder.

Finally, PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction. If you have a ZERO rating, you MUST contact me in advance, prior to placing any bids. Not doing so will get you blocked and prevented from any further bidding in my listings. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Please ensure that your source of funds is in place BEFORE placing a bid. We are all adults here; let's not engage in silly games because it is counterproductive and a waste of time for all.

Thank you for your interest~!

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

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.

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."
