Sheila & I live in Albuquerque. Sheila is available for adoption to a VERY GOOD HOME ONLY. Please read the entire add, and if you are seriously interested in giving her a loving home. I require ALL bidders to contact me at my number listed below. I would like the opportunity to answer any/ all questions with full disclosure to aid in peace of mind for both parties.
Sheila is a 1993 Land Rover Range Rover LWB County Classic w/ 146k miles with a 4.2 V-8. She is not a jealous gal, unlike most rovers....you will not find her marking her territory with bodily fluids everywhere she goes(oil, tran fluid, power steering etc) So if you happen to be a jeep lover and have one parked in your driveway, she wont create a fuss. I cannot speak for your jeep though :)
It should also be noted that Sheila is not nearly as festive as some rovers. You see, I have owned many in my time and quite frankly it is nice when all of your dashboard warning lights are illuminated in a kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, greens and oranges, it feels like Christmas all year long. Sheila's lights do come on when you turn the key (as they should), but inexplicably go dark once she's up and running. I tried contacting Land Rover about this phenomenon, but they told me not to worry, "Sheila, was just secure with her personality and felt no need to be the center of attention"
If you don't have a significant other, Sheila makes a great companion. Together, we have spent many hours bonding. usually with me on my back, and her on top. What can I say, she likes to drive :) In that time, I have had ample opportunity to replace/ modify and or improve upon her already magnificent features. She is now equipped with:
-Old Man Emu HD Springs 2" lift
-Bilstein HD Shocks
-32.5" Military Spec Bias Ply Tires
-HD Axles
-Rear Detroit Locker
-HD drive shaft u-joints
-Dual Battery w/ isolator switch
-Airaid Snorkel w/ Donaldson Pre-filter
-Britland Offroad Bonnet Light Bar
-Surco Roof Rack
-Remote control for isolator switch, and all auxiliary lights
-HD Britland Offroad Winch Bumper
-9000lb winch
-Fold down exterior spare tire holder (full size spare)
In addition to the fantastic memories we have created together, Sheila came with a full 18 year maintenance history. This includes routine upkeep and salon visits, to the occasional visit to her original adoption agency Land Rover of Albuquerque for some more serious repairs. Apparently her previous partner cared for her as well as I have. Like any spectacular woman, Sheila requires care and attention. Below is a list of recent (mostly minor) procedures
Recently Replaced parts include:
-Brakes
-Viscous coupler (for transfer case)
-Fuel Pump
-ABS Pump
-A/C compressor(have not charged with freon yet)
-Heater Core (have not connected return hose)
-Plugs & Wires
-Complete Fluid Change (oil, power steering, diffs, t-case, tranny & filter)
This year marks Sheila's 20th birthday!! I know all you 40 sumthin guys out there are thinking that this is your chance to finally get you hands on a 20 year old party gal in a desperate if not transparent attempt to recapture your youth. Let me explain something.....Rovers age different than people & dogs. They say that every human year is equivalent to 7 dog years. It is a similar circumstance with rovers. Sheila, being one of the very best built, maintained & innovative suv's of all time ages at the rate of 1.5 years for every human year, that makes her age closer to 30. She hasn't even hit her prime yet, but don't you dare look at her and think how sexy she looks, she's not that kind of gal. (ok, you can look...she's sexy as all get out!! What??? its a truck not a person!)
Sheila is in great physical shape for her age as well. Admittedly she is somewhat of a tomboy, so she does have a few scrapes and bruises, the sun has bleached a couple spots on her that are barely noticeable. The interior of Sheila the Range Rover is in decent shape considering how much she loves to play outdoors. there are no rips, dash is good and headliner is sagging a bit.
Like any adolescent Sheila has her moments and quirks. Nothing that is unmanageable. Think of her as an exotic foreign exchange student who doesn't speak perfect English. It may take you a few weeks to get the communication situation established, but once you do, she will never let you down. I'll even give you a few tips on how to keep her happy and deal with her tantrums.
Sheila & I just got back from a fabulous 500 mile journey to Pagosa Springs & Durango Area, we had a blast cruising the scenic highways at 80mph & loved the slower romps up the rocky mountain sides. She even got her feet wet a few times in your brisk flowing mountain streams. I would have no problem making her my travel companion to any destination.
If you are seriously interested in becoming Sheila's new life partner, please contact me with any questions. Please don't waste my time though. Sheila may not be brand new, and she may not be a swimsuit model in perfect shape, but she is worth every penny of her rehoming fee. Of course, she will come with bill of sale and clear & clean title of ownership
****UPDATE: correction, I just discussed the terms of her adoption with Sheila.....she emphatically does not want to go to a Jeep home....says she's too tired to keep draggin their butts out of the mud and such every time they bite off more than they can chew. Plus, she says she has no desire to catch that "Jeep Thing" she keeps hearing about :)
Thanks for looking, please contact me for more pics, detailed description etc.
505.263.2136 calls/text only please.
She is available for sale locally and the auction may end at any time.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse
Fri, Dec 19 2014The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car
Fri, Jan 6 2017Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.
