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.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:

Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?

Mon, Aug 14 2017

From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.
