This 1973 Range Rover Classic 2-Door Suffix "B" is our 5th 2-Door restoration and by far our best yet. The entire
restoration process took 11 months to complete. This is a literal nut and bolt, frame-off restoration with nothing
on this Rover going untouched. This means that this RRC has ZERO rust on it. We strove to keep this Rover as
original as possible using as many original and new/old stock parts as possible. Currently located in Daytona
Beach, Florida with a clean Florida Title. This Rover features;
-Original 3.5L Petrol Rover V8
-Original Left-Side Drive (very rare)
-Less than 75,000 Original Miles
-All Matching Numbers
-Fully functioning A/C installed by Land Rover dealership in 1975

-No rust
-100 % mechanically sound and fires right up every time. We drove it from our shop in Guatemala to our sister shop
in Daytona Beach, Florida with no (zero, zilch, nada) problems.
The Cons
-The passenger window and rear window have scratches. We decided to keep them because they were original
-The windscreen does have two small chips (no cracks). Again we kept it because it is original
-The light covers (front and rear) have cracks and ware but they are original Lucas lights which is again, why we
decided to use them rather than after market lights.
Vehicle History
This vehicle was originally made for export (hence the left-side-drive) and was imported originally from England to
El Salvador. It had two owners prior to our purchase of it (06/15) on the 45th Anniversary (to the day) of the
release of the Range Rover. It was drivable when we bought it and had been in no serious accidents prior and had
very little rust on the under carriage and astonishingly no rust on the frame (the vehicle was garage kept by both
owners). We drove it back to our shop in Antigua, Guatemala and commenced on an 11 month frame-off restoration
(restoration photos available upon request). The very little amounts of ware on the engine found during the rebuild
confirmed the accuracy of the odometer. Once completed we drove it from Guatemala to Daytona Beach, Florida where
it was then legally imported and given a clean Florida Title.
Price & Additional Information
We know what this Rover is worth. Not only is it the oldest available for sale in North America, it's also arguably
in the best original condition (by comparison) and has undergone a complete restoration less than two months ago.
We work exclusively with classic Range Rovers, Series, and Defenders and as stated this is our fifth RRC 2-Door
restoration to date with two more currently underway.

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK

Sun, Aug 16 2020

Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Jaguar Land Rover gives Lyft $25M and a fleet of cars

Mon, Jun 12 2017

Lyft recently raised $600 million in a massive funding round, and now we know that $25 million of that came from Jaguar Land Rover, via its mobility services subsidiary InMotion. The car maker's investment in Lyft goes beyond just funds, however; it's providing Lyft drivers with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles as part of the tie-up, and it's also going to work with the ride-hailing tech company on autonomous vehicle testing. This is yet another high-profile partner for Lyft after a spate of recent new collaborators, including Waymo and, just last week, Nutonomy. Now, Jaguar Land Rover is also joining the company's Open Platform for autonomous cars: The collaboration with InMotion will see the Jaguar Land Rover-owned company "develop and test its mobility services, including autonomous vehicles" using Lyft's platform. Lyft's ability to rapidly bring on a lot of partners in the car maker space, specifically around autonomy, may have a lot to do with rival Uber's ongoing problems, which now also include mounting calls for CEO Travis Kalanick to step back, at least temporarily, from his leadership role. Lyft has also been pretty clear about seeking to partner on autonomy, rather than pursue its own tech, which is likewise different from Uber's current approach. Uber, too, has brought automakers to the table around self-driving services and making use of its ride hailing platform for mobility service offerings. Both Uber and Lyft seem interested in being the layer that connects riders and these future services, and for automakers, it means leaving a complex and challenging part of the picture to partners with experience and expertise, rather than having to spin up that part of the tech business themselves. The fleet provision in the deal is also interesting, and suggests the partnership between the two could involve more strategic cooperative service offerings ahead of the advent of commercial self-driving tech. Lyft gaining more ground among automakers beyond longtime partner GM also explains why it was reported that the ride hailing company turned down overtures regarding a potential acquisition by the Detroit-based automaker.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunch.Related Video:

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
