It took a lot for me to finally convince myself to sell this Range Rover. I am the only owner and treated her like my child. I put my name in to reserve her a year in advance and was literally the FIRST person in line to get the first one in Fort Worth, so they let me get the Adriatic Blue color (see pics, blackish-blue look). I don't know about you, but I have never seen my color on the road EVER before! She is FULLY LOADED, super clean (see my pics of her!), sun roof / moon roof, GPS navigation system, dual air bags and side air bags, ABS (4-wheel) w/ traction control, Harman Kardon Sound system, Multi Disc CD, Integrated Phone, Towing Pkg, 


GENERAL REPAIRS / REPLACEMENTS I DID IN 2012: Most were simply replacements to the existing parts I did earlier last year to keep her in optimal condition. Some were what I believed could eventually be a problem, so I figured replace them now. If you know Range Rovers then you know if you let them become a problem, then that problem will bring collateral problems if not dealt with beforehand and that is not something you don't want to have happen.

The Truth
Now honestly I really did all these replacements for me b/c she ran fine without them and I had no intention of selling it. And then... mom got diagnosed in September with a bad disease after passing out one day in the nail salon and was hospitalized for nearly two months (conveniently this happened just two years before she would have got Medicare! AH!!). She had crummy insurance that covered almost nothing and guess what good son got to enjoy paying all those bills?! That's not all, now she has a home nurse's aid that is slowly draining my savings and well... that is why I have to sell this sweet ride. What can I do? Whoever buys her, PLEASE take as good a care of her as I did. I am seriously going to miss this Rover (total chick magnet!).
- I replaced all 4 tires with brand new ones
- Put in an all new suspension system
- Replaced air springs
- Brand new Macpherson Strut
- New Battery
- Replaced left and right turn signal bulbs
- New Upper Radiator Hose
- All tags current


PROBLEM REPAIRS I HAD TO FIX: Only problems I have ever had with her are as follows (and I have kept virtually all receipts to back this up, just ask me for them no prob) 
- I had the front left tire totally go out back in 2007 (can't find that receipt, but the repair was a new tire. I know, you ask me... how did that happen?). I was invited to this corporate ranch and arrived there after sunset cruising down their gravel road that leads to the company lodge. She drives so smooth you forget how fast you are going, you can't really feel the bumps on the road, and being at night and me not being much of an off-road driver I ran over a jagged rock driving too fast down into the valley part of the ranch land. I didn't even know I did any damage to the tire until I got 500 yards from the corporate lodge and all my warning lights went off saying left tire needs repair! I stopped, checked it out and in moments that tire was history (luckily I didn't hurt the wheel). What can I say... I was idiot. Geez was that embarrassing! So that is her off-road experience except I did take her mudding on a fishing trip I went on after a storm (now that was a TON of fun... I seriously could not get her stuck! And my buddy had a jacked up Chevy with these huge mud tires and he got stuck and I just rolled on through the mud, no problemo! Showed them, huh?! ha.

Enjoy.

All-electric Jaguar XJ coming soon on platform shared with 'Road Rover'

Mon, Jun 24 2019

We've been posting on the likelihood of electric Jaguars for a while now, especially the XJ leading the charge as a new EV flagship. Rumors at the beginning of 2018 predicted an XJ EV on our doorstep by the end of 2018, the 50th anniversary year of the XJ. By April this year, it was looking like the battery-powered XJ would use the I-Pace platform and make an appearance sometime in 2019. Now, Automotive News Europe reports that during Jaguar Land Rover's Investor's Day presentations, the automaker said it would debut a "large SUV and a large premium sedan" on its Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) suitable for EVs, hybrids and traditional ICE-powered cars. The sedan in question is the next-gen XJ. Nick Rogers, JLR's product engineering boss, said electric MLA vehicles will get 90.2-kWh batteries that return range of up to 400 kilometers (292 miles) on the European cycle. That would effectively be the same size battery as the I-Pace, which rides on its own one-off platform, and the same range; in the U.S., the I-Pace is rated at 234 miles. It's said the XJ's design, produced by former Jaguar design chief Ian Callum and his team, has already been cleared. It swaps the four-door body for a five-door, a la the Audi A7, and introduces a new design language for the car and the carmaker. Car and Driver says the new statement sedan aims to be "a cutting-edge alternative to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class," and Autocar saying it will "remain Jaguar's flagship in preference to a large SUV, such as the rumored J-Pace." The point of introducing the EV first is to establish the car's technology and sporting credentials — hopefully before the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-Tron GT arrive. Eventually, an ICE version of the XJ powered by an Ingenium inline-six should come; that will welcome buyers not ready to make the all-EV switch, a necessary move in keeping with the XJ's competition for global sales with the S-Class and 7 Series. However, leaving room in the design for a conventional drivetrain will force compromises that the all-electric competition doesn't face. Production of the current XJ ends at the Castle Bromwich facility on July 5. The new sedan is slated to be "announced in the near future" and built at JLR's plant in Solihull, which assembles Land Rover products. The same MLA platform will support a road-focused Land Rover as a sibling to the XJ, dubbed the "Road Rover" internally.

Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime automotive enthusiast

Sun, Sep 11 2022

Since driver's licenses, license plates, and passports were issued in her own name, Queen Elizabeth II didn't need them to drive and travel. She started combining the two just before she turned 19, joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) transport division in 1945 for vehicle mechanic training. She wanted to help the British effort during World War II and would drive an ambulance — one that, theoretically, she could also fix if it broke down. The war ended before she graduated as an Honorary Junior Commander, the other ATS members dubbing her Princess Auto Mechanic. We donÂ’t know if she got under the hoods of the many official state vehicles and the far more numerous unofficial fleet in the royal garages, but she was still driving herself around England as late as this year. Here is a tiny selection of royal conveyances used during her 70-year reign. Gold State Coach (1762) True, she never drove this one, but a tour of every royal garage should start with the coach. King George III commissioned Samuel Butler to build it in 1760. Butler spent two years on the gilded carriage 24 feet long and more than 12 feet high. The quarters are suspended from the frame by leather straps, so occupants get tossed about even during a slow stroll, which is as fast as the eight Windsor Gray horses can pull it. It wasnÂ’t until the 1900s that King George VI rubberized the wooden wheels. Word is the queen didnÂ’t like it.   1953 Land Rover Series 1 Land Rover gave Queen ElizabethÂ’s father, King George VI, the 100th example of the 80 Series off the line in 1948. She picked up the Landie habit for herself five years later, when a 1953 Series 1 with a custom 86-inch wheelbase was part of the fleet used for her six-month tour of the Commonwealth in 1953 and 1954. That Land Rover became Ceremonial Vehicle State IV. The models above were built in Australia in 1958 as near copies of the Commonwealth tour vehicle, when Australia decided it wanted six identical versions for royal service. ItÂ’s thought the royal family went through around 30 Land Rover Series cars and Defenders since then, and many of the most common photos of her have her posing in or near one, especially the 2002 Defender built just for her. The royal family isnÂ’t finished with them, either: A current Defender 110 served as a luggage hauler for family members headed to Balmoral Castle during the queenÂ’s final days.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
