This is the last year (1995) of the iconic Range Rover Classic Series!! The Range Rover Classic was Land Rover’s transition from the old school defender look to the new school P38, Discovery and the new Range Rover line. The 1995 Range Rover Classic had many luxury upgrades over previous Classic models including the soft dash, the interior leather etc… The lines on this car are incredibly beautiful and EVERYONE comments on how cool looking it is wherever I take it. Here are the details of all of the upgrades to the vehicle which total an estimated at $24,000 NOT COUNTING WHAT I ORIGINALLY PAID FOR THE VEHICLE FROM A COLLECTOR:

  1. Complete engine overhaul immediately prior to my purchase (at 130,000 miles). ($2500)

  2. CAT exhaust system with a sexy throaty sound. ($1200)

  3. Bilstien shocks and coils to replace the shi****ty can suspension system that breaks down on every rover that has it. ($1000). Additional 2 inch lift.

  4. Brand new paint job ($5000) using Mercedes brilliant white. I had the painters remove the upper rear vinyl covered panels and paint them white. The vinyl was always ugly. I don’t think you will find another Classic with this simple but cool modification.

  5. ARB Deluxe front bumper with a Warn Winch with detachable control that you keep in the glove box. ($2800)

  6. Hella lights- 6 x 100 watt and 2 x smaller lights. The Hella light backs are professionally painted red which really stands out as unique! This lights up at night and looks like a UFO going down the road.  

  7. Roof Rack- Off Road Challenge Edition from Voyager Off Road ($1500)

  8. Installation of roof rack and wiring of the Hella Light systems ($800)

  9. Land Rover special edition Sawtooth Wheels (set of 5 16 x 17 for $1,943.20). These are very rare and I doubt you will see them on any other rover other than a collector defender. They are absolutely beautiful and brand new. Look them up at www.roversnorth.com.

  10. Set of 5 brand new tires- goodyear Wrangler duratrac ($1500)

  11. Hi Lift Jack that I had powder coated and mounted on the front. The powder coating prevents any rust drip on my expensive ARB bumper!  ($500)

  12. Recovery loops for ARB bumper ($250)

  13. 2 Rovers North Shovels to mount on the roof rack.

  14. Floor mat sets- Range rover classic and another set from weather tech including a cargo mat. ($500)

  15. Engine leaks fixed (there is one very small remaining leak we are trying to find), radiator pressure tested and leak fixed. New alternator and various other small engine parts replaced or seals replaced over the last several years. ($5000)

  16. Transmission rebuilt within a month of my purchase of this vehicle and done professionally by a dealership. The automatic transition shifts beautifully as a brand new one should. ($2500)

  17. Heat pump/AC box replaced (I think this is what it is called) ($1500) which involved removal of the entire dashboard.

  18. New battery and new spark cables. New radiator fluid reservoir. ($400)

  19. New headliner ($800).

  20. Window tinting throughout ($1000)

  21. This car drives and tracts perfectly. It has the typical rover solid feel. Most old rovers drive very wonky due to various front end issues. this one drives and tracts perfectly at any speed!

For the serious collector, here is what in my opinion would make this the finest 1995 Range rover Classic in the world.

  1. Mount Aluminum Traction Sand Mat Set from Rovers North. See at http://www.roversnorth.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=RNP1004

  2. New carpet- the existing carpet is nice and in great condition but new would make it PERFECT.

  3. New front upholstery- the existing upholstery is nice but new would be PERFECT. At a minimum, you could just re-cover the arm rests for $100. The front seats have some very minor age cracking but NO tears. The springs in the seats are solid and the power mechanisms all work. The seat heater on the drivers side does not work but could be as simple as a fuse replacement.

  4. Spare Tire Mount for the rear with NATO gas can mount. See it here http://www.tiregate.com/hg-series/. An alternative is to simply mount the brand new spare tire with brand new sawtooth rim in the roof rack, which would look great.

The interior is in exceptional shape which is rare for a rover of this age. The dash is perfect, no sun wear or tears. The carpets and upholstery are in good shape, without stains or tears. The car is has been my daily driver since purchase and the engine runs perfect, no smoke from the exhaust, no ticks, starts immediately. Heater, AC, original radio all work perfectly. The CD system needs a CD disc holder. Speakers and sound system works great.  I am a doctor and I love old Land Rovers and particularly love the lines of the 1995 Classic. I have spared no expense in bringing this car back to the present better than original condition with the customized details that make this car really stand out to the Land Rover sophisticated or un-sophisticated eye. I live in Washington State and the car has always been garaged and never been off road. I just had the vehicle serviced and had all major fluids changed.  

The paint is brand new Mercedes brilliant white and looks FANTASTIC!.

This is a 3.9 L. V8 gasoline.

Loaded with all the options including sunroof. 175k miles, but engine rebuilt at 130k miles. You will not find another 1995 RR Classic SWB in this condition or with the upgrades this one has, all done by professional mechanics.

The following is a partial list of amenities that are fully functional: Tilt up and slide sunroof, cold AC, power windows, power seats, power adjustable side view mirrors, tilt steering wheel, power steering. All gauges are working, heat and A/C function properly, all windows and sunroof work.

Call me (Scott)  at 360-631-1239 with any questions before you buy or bid. Car is sold as is, no returns. This is a 1995 collectors car and I have described it honestly and in as much detail as possible. This car is not for the timid or weak at heart. It is a bold bold head turning ride, and would be great for a collector of old Rovers.

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission

Sat, Dec 20 2014

Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.
