See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"old Rover, yes, it has scratches, I used it. Sometimes I even squeezed between shrubs too narrow for a normal person. Lets just say it has scratches everywhere, that way no one will whine that I didn't mention a scratch. It amazingly only has three small dents, two of which would not show in photos; one is on the front passenger door, small circular depression about an inch across; the other is in the left rear quarter panel and is about 8 inches long, by an inch wide and a small depression; both show no signs of paint chipping. The third dent is evident in the photos; its on the bottom edge of the right rear quarter panel. Car has signs of rust starting in a few places, further details in description section. Paint on the bonnet/hood is fading and will not buff out."

Selling my LWB that I've owned for 13 years, purchased when it was only 6yrs. old.  I am moving and unable to take this vehicle along.


Unlike all the other posts for Range Rovers and LWB's, my listing is not going to gloss over anything, tell you what an astounding vehicle it is for its age or show the shine on tires that have been "Armor-all-ed".  Mine needs washed for starters, and has lots of little things that need attention.  Its an old Rover that is starting to show its age.  Please do NOT bid/buy with the hope of having a new car or like new - its 20yrs old!  I had hoped to keep this and eventually put a Mercedes 300TD engine in it.  If you are not familiar with this conversion, there are several You-Tube how-to videos that cover this.  It does bolt directly to the existing transmission except for having to notch the housing due to different starter locations.  

The GOOD:  It runs and stops and never left me stuck anywhere; I have owned other Rovers in my life that have.  Replaced motor at 140,000 with another 4.2 that only had 65,000 miles on it.  It has True-Track, torsen-style, limited-slip differentials front and rear that I put in two years ago when I replaced the viscous clutch which had locked and ruined the rear factory differential.  New alternator and water pump installed within last year.  Radiator recored about four years ago.  It comes with a factory dog screen/guard that fits between the cargo area and rear seat; currently not installed but does so with only two screws.  While not in the pictures, I do have the rear parcel tray (and tire cover, etc.) that fits over the rear cargo area.  I am including an extra set of four rims (only two show in photos); the tires on them however are not usable.

The BAD:  The windows currently do not work.  I swapped in another window computer and it did not solve the problem.  Still unresolved.  The sunroof, while it does work, needs to have the tracks cleaned and adjusted.  The center console unit is broken and does not stay together; it will needs some attention/epoxy/wood/plastic/surgery to do so. The radio is with the car but not currently installed; it does have the rear CD-changer unit and ADS speaker system.  Headliner has the dropsies over the rear cargo area.  Rust: I showed the two areas where there is rust through the floor; one picture shows an area to the left of the drivers seat box where a rust hole developed in a small area under the carpeting from the window leaking over time.  The other photo/rust area is in the right side of the cargo area along a seam in the rear floor.  There is rust starting under the bonnet/hood as can be seen in the photos.  There is also an indication of a rust bubble just starting on the rear hatch.  I removed and rust-proofed the hatch a few years ago and it was pretty sound and appears to still be so except for that one area.  The rear hatch however does not currently have the latching/locking mechanism in place, nor the gas struts (optional wood prop shown in photo is included at no additional cost...).  The engine has developed a mysterious and intermittent cut-out and I do not have the time or inclination to chase it.  I believe it may be related to the alarm system.  There is a slow leak in the right rear air spring.  I know this because it made the air suspension system fault and ride on the stop bumps.  Because my closest Rover dealer is 90 miles away, I plumbed in air lines to the regular lines so that it can be inflated manually.  Works great.  There is a lad online that offers free software to be able to reset your air suspension computer without having to recalibrate.  All you need is a computer with either an RS232 port or USB, make a cable to fit (he includes instructions) and off you go.  Again, yet another project I did not get around to doing.  Again, this is an old car.  If you do not know how to work on cars, don't bid/buy.  If you have never owned a Rover, no not bid/buy.  If your mate/life partner complains you do not spend enough time with them, do not buy this car.  If you love to work on cars, have owned a Rover before and your wife likes the fact you work on cars cause it keeps you at home, then buy this car.  If you need a great parts car, buy this truck; the True-Trac differentials alone will make this a good buy.

If you are looking for a Rover and not looking to spend a lot of money, this is the Rover for you.  The issues it has are ones that will only require your time and not much, if any of your money.

I am gearing up to move so I no longer have immediate internet access.  If you email with questions it may take me a day or more to answer, so apologies ahead of time for that.  I am located in State College, PA and the car is for sale locally as well.  

Conditions of the sale are simple:  Paypal deposit of $500 upon close of auction, balance and pick-up of vehicle within 7 days of auction end (again, I am moving 2000 miles away and need to be on my way ASAP).

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit

Fri, Jan 29 2021

BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.

Thieves stole $3.7 million worth of Jaguar Land Rover engines

Fri, Feb 3 2017

This past Tuesday was not a good one for Jaguar Land Rover. According to British news source Birmingham Mail, just over $3.7 million worth of engines were stolen from the company's factory in Solihull, England. Reportedly, the thieves drove up to the facility in a stolen semi-truck, found a trailer full of engines, hooked it up, and drove off. The thieves did this twice in one night, with the same truck, and got the first trailer in just six minutes. Perhaps more shocking is that Birmingham Mail reports this is the second time a theft of this type has occurred at the facility. The previous time happened in almost exactly the same way, but the engines taken were valued at just over $1.2 million, and five people were convicted of the crime. Currently, local police are looking for the latest suspects and the engines. The trailers were found, but were empty. We got in touch with a Jaguar representative who provided us the company's official statement: "We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing." This was the only statement he would provide, and didn't provide answers as to what engines were stolen and if there would be any impact on manufacturing or vehicle deliveries. But if you're in the UK, and you've got a tip, let the cops know.
