1993 Range Rover Lwb, Sable Edition - With Air Suspension - Rare Land Rover on 2040-cars
Valrico, Florida, United States
|
For sale is my County Sable Edition 1993 Range Rover Long Wheel Base - SALHC1343PA639159. Wife finally making me sell my third vehicle to get our garage back - not to mention kid college fund ;) Air suspension works as it should; never buy a LWB converted to coil springs (trust me, I have owned three). Only year to have the beautiful Mediterranean Poplar wood trim – just awesome. Refer to www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/1993.html for all specs. Sable model was a $1,500 option introduced mid-way in 1993 model year. There were approximately 200 of the models with the Beluga Black paint and "Unique Black Accent CSK Wheels and Dark Sable Connolly Leather Seats and Trim". fyi - CSK was introduced to Range Rover in 1991 as a special edition model named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original 2-door Range Rover. The 1993 County LWB was named "Best New Light Truck or Sport Utility Vehicle " by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). It was also named "Best Sport Utility Vehicle in North America" by Playboy Magazine. California model: all 1993s sold in CA had an extra $100.00 charge "For costs incurred by LRNA to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements." Three owners with first owner having it 18 years, as follows: >Original owner was dentist in San Fran, CA.; he owned it from 1993 new to approx. 2011 and clearly loved it with many refreshings including the new engine we will go over below. >Second owner, also from CA, had a few unique range rovers but mostly was involved in a California Porsche club. >Third owner (me, private seller) - a Land Rover enthusiast that has owned four over the last 16 years (one new Discovery II and three pre-owned RR LWBs, 1993/4/5 I honestly like the 93/4 LWB models better than the 1995 (even though the 95 had airbags with the discovery soft dash). Why? The classic dash set up - old school British! I transported on a reputable car carrier from CA to FL - not driven. New engine, 4.6, was installed at 112K mileage - a $9K upgrade - see picture of invoice. Only 45k miles on it - many, many years to go! See receipt picture A high performance cam was installed same time as engine to increase performance and drive ability. fyi - original model’s 4.2 V-8 had 200 HP; the 4.6 has 225 and feels and sounds very stronger (as I have owned two other lwbs). Driver side electric seat went out a year ago but believe it could just be a fuse; anyone over 5 feet, 9 inches does not need to move seat anyways. The passenger side seems to work ok moving back but lately started having issues moving forward; regardless, due to the uniqueness of classic range rovers, I recommend the new owner keep seats in a standard position at all times (in case they go out). Heated front windshield and front seats do not work as per normal on rangies but not a huge deal. Multiple sets of keys and remote key fobs. Original manual and papers included. Tail gate is fine but new owner may want to replace frame with aftermarket aluminum version within five+ years; the tail gates on all rangies have issues as it is a steel component; you can replace the frame reasonably (or the whole glass unit). The main body is aluminum and is in great shape except for the passenger door bottom area (four inches) were a patch was done (but cannot really see well) - see picture. No wrecks; also, the Paint is original - still shiny too as evidenced by pictures; amazing looking truck that turns heads. Connolly Leather has been deeply conditioned four times in last three years; prior to that it is unknown but the leather is very, very nice. Lexol brand is way to go! Front seats almost look as if no one sat in them; what impresses me most is how thick the British Connolly leather is on the 1993s. Rear seats are almost incredible but there is one area that is a little dry so could later be redyed (6 inch area), etc to get back to normal (albeit unnecessary). Battery installed late 2012 from second owner. Tires are new from second owner and are like 95%; they were bought in 2012 by second owner Expensive fuel filter installed 2014 (tough to replace in back right of vehicle). I will include a new air filter in its box (for later use). Sunroof and air suspension operate with no issues. Headliner was replaced by second owner and is perfect; only the sunroof portion is not 100% - just needs minor regluing (albeit unnecessary). The pictures are mostly done in the neutral air suspension position but I have a couple shots showing the high and low profile ride heights. Again, never buy a Rangie LWB converted to coil springs as it (1) loses it charm, (2) usually has the car sit too high, and (3) loses its very unique feel (very squishy and I love it). Front passenger door has the minor issue repaired by first owner - I believe he had opened it into a San Fran curb but you cannot see the patch; it should be corrected only if repainted. Original manual and what we believe are full records – massive stack of papers including the document for the engine conversion. iPod port installed by second owner. Second owner also installed the nice light guards. Multi-CD changer. Cassette stock radio with a/d/s speakers and subwoofer. For me, the major draw to 1993 vs 1994 was the Mediterranean Popular wood; they switched to burlwood for 1994. Wood is a 9+/10 condition; only the shifter cap is faded and can easier be replaced (if even wanted). Rare Sable rear cover included; that alone draws major dollars in the aftermarket. Dash is perfect; zero cracking, etc.; this truck has been cared for and is definitely one that will remain a strong classic for another decade+. The undercarriage is super clean; it had some type of coating/painting done by a previous owner (but I do not know details). Air conditioning and heating work as they should. No air bags. Cup holders are great but if you want more let me know and I’ll include the bolt on ones I took off an old Land Rover Discovery (otherwise I may sell those on ebay for a nice sum). I know a concern with most SUVs is whether or not a shorter person can get in easily; no worries as the air suspension can be lowered when you park. Smoke Free by me last two years; no info on owners 1 & 2. Cruise control not working but that is common issue on these SUVs. Sold new at British Motors of San Francisco Ca. It was heavily been dealer serviced and maintained but specialist Roverland in San Francisco has performed majority of services. This car has been owned by three meticulous enthusiasts that treated the car well. LWB is the only way to go for the Classic Rangies; the short wheel bases just don't compare.
Last series of RRs that were old school British (they dropped off with the 1996 model). H4 headlights. Serviced factory air suspension by owners one and two; I never had to service it as third owner. The rangie has a slightly throaty sound from the upgraded NRP after-market exhaust system the second owner installed. Replaced right front caliper and new brake pads in July 2012.
Factory remote key system works perfectly on one fob but the second one has a dead battery (no big deal to replace).
Other work done by owners two/three: the catalytic convertors, transfer case, front wheel bearings, radiator, water pump, brakes. The headliner is new; only the sunroof portion has some unstuck glue (easily corrected). Second owner installed medium after-market tint (which looks nice with Black paint); this can be removed easily, if wanted. MESSAGE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. Clean title; I own this SUV out right. ***This is a 1993 so please don't expect a show car - but do expect an 8 out of 10 in my eye - a rangie you will be very proud of***.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The 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.
The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
