I bought this Rover in 2007 from a Doctor's son after his father that owned it died. The doctor was the orginal owner so it's only a two owner vehicle. It has been my daily driver for the past seven years with a lot of time and money invested. The suv is registered in Oklahoma but is located in Dallas, Texas were I am currently living. I will list all the mechanical parts replaced to give you an ideal of the money that has already been invested. I have purchased another truck for work and limited on storage space but really don't want it setting up and deteriorating, so I would rather sell it and let someone else enjoy the fun of driving this Rover. You will get many compliments on this vehicle and occasional person wanting a pic. It was repainted a 2011 Audi Tiki brown, all the doors were removed and jambs were painted so you will see no signs of the orginal black paint job. The paint job looks good but has a few issues around the door handles but not too noticeable (only up close). A lot of the parts on the inside were replaced with newer looking parts from Car Cannible in Oklahoma City, and Ebay, there are to many to list but can been seen in the pics of it's excellent condition, also the rear pillers are louvered metal painted the suv color and covered with brown vinyl. The interior doors and back cargo area have been sound proof with foil stick on matting to reduce road noise, and the radio has been wired for a ipod connection. All the parts listed are orginal equipment form either Atlantic British our Rovers North. It has ARB medium spring conversion with bilstein shocks. The CV joints have been rebuilt and all the fluids have been changed regularly, and only using Mobil synthetic motor oil. As many Rovers do it does leak a little oil. The headliner was replaced about six years ago and still has a few more left. The only know issues that I would fix if keeping would be the back hatch upper strut support mounts need to be reattached as the wear and tear have broken them lose from the frame. There are no warning lights on and all mechanical electrical working as should with only the cruise control stopped on the way down to Texas. This suv has been adult driven, not abused and is in excellent condition and completely rust free (reason for the higher selling price), it came from California to Oklahoma. If you purchase I would not hesitate to road trip this Rover anywhere! If your looking for a mint, non smoker than please do not bid on this 21 year old suv, but I know for a fact it is one of the cleanest. Please feel free to ask questions as there has been a lot of other things replaced or updated and to many to list all.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover
Sat, Feb 17 2024At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History
