*****************************************RANGE ROVER FLM PANELCRAFT RETRO REPLICA INFO***************************************
If you are like me and you LOVE the style, performance, capability and legacy of the Range Rover Classic, then you will no doubt appreciate this Range Rover Panelcraft Custom Replica Retro, which has all of the distinction you could ever ask for with one of these. What a journey I have had with this Range Rover Classic. It has been a real labor of love and I feel it shows in the detailed parts selection and fitting. I really love this car and it has been an absolute pleasure to own, build and drive. My three children have enjoyed the distinction of being know as "The cool car family" kids. I have enjoyed the countless people giving me the thumbs up, other Land Rover enthusiasts tracking me down for questions and those who want to have their picture taken with it- yes there have been a few. Its even been featured on Range-Rover-classic dot com website as a true one of a kind car. So with heavy heart and a kind hand Im offering this car for sale.
This vehicle is an absolute pleasure to drive. It is a great everyday car and has a new rebuilt bullet prof Land Rover V-8. As I have mentioned, I have spent a great amount of time and money sourcing parts from the 25 years of production run-1970 Velar-1994- for the Range Rover Classic. I cant wait to drive it everyday, and the first thing I look at- after my wife and three kids- is this car sitting in the parking pad. It all started when i saw a 1970 Range Rover 2-door.
Being a 1988 SWB Its the closest car to the original Range Rover Classic 2-door. The wheel base, chassis, motor, all exterior panels are identical so it was a excellent platform in which to start. 2-Door Range Rovers are the original and it wasn't until 1979 that they started making them in 4-door with the same wheel base. You could have the car converted to 4-door prior by various coach builders and that why I choose the FLM Panelcraft car to base my build on. I researched this 1977 Panelcraft 4-door conversion Range Rover for about 6 months before I started my search for parts.
Aesthetics:
I had a blast finding parts on various sites. All my period correct parts are from 1977 or older Range Rovers from the UK, so I began on eBay dot Uk and worked my way through other UK online parts suppliers such as Holden, John Craddock and Britishparts to name a few good ones. I first tried to get parts from US sources but most only sold 1988 parts; the first production year sold in the US market, All parts are Genuine Range Rover parts and mostly New Old Stock. It was a delight to recieve a new part. All parts are UK spec, no North American Spec at all and what a parts list.
I started with all 1977 or earlier period correct parts and the first was The Rostyle Wheels, and its rolled from there. These exterior parts included: Raised metal period correct letters on front hood and back tailgate spelling R-A-N-G-E--R-O-V-E-R, Wingard Bonnett Mirrors (NOS), aluminum vertical slotted grill, aluminum head light surrounds, 1977 steel bumper, UK spec side marker lights/housing (NOS and very rare), Scuttle (Range Rover) aluminum badges, exposed gas cap housing (NOS), gas cap (NOS), rear brake/turn signal lights and housing (NOS), By Land Rover aluminum Badge period correct and NOS, and the last exterior part was the extremely hard to find Drop down aluminum License plate holder. With all these parts on it looked amazing and absolutely period correct. Now for the interior.
This was interesting. Where the exterior required mostly unbolt and bolt on the new old stock parts the interior required some rewiring and thats always interesting on a British Car. While its not complete, I began with these period correct parts: The three spoke steering wheel, Radiomobile radio, Speedometer/Gas/Water Temp Binacle dash, period correct steering cover with period correct signal switches, headlight switches and wiper switches. A complete new center lower dash with Oil gauge, Clock, Oil Temp gauge, and Voltage. The lower dash also included the Heater switches and period correct heater switch cover and instructional plate on how to engage the center locking differential. The interior Spare tire cover is a crazy hard to find NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) Vinyl tire cover. At this point I required a bit of research as to what to do with the power window switches and the auto selector. After painstakingly searching the web, I found a Company that used to covert manual Range Rovers to Automatic transmission. I actually found the period correct gear selector cover!! That was an awesome find. In regards to the power window switches, I based my box on the PanelCraft 4-door conversion that also featured power windows and made the exact same box that houses the switches. At this point, I felt it time to address the motor. For this I could rebuild it to be an efficient reliable motor.
I completely rebuilt the 3.5L; period correct, engine down to the block. For this new parts where sourced from Atlantic British and these included New: pistons, piston rods, Bearings, cam, planing the block and heads, steering pump, oil pump, water pump, timing chain, tappets, and all nuts, bolts and belts. The motors produces 150-155 BHP. The car is heavy and its not fast but the motor has been restored to factory specs and has a ton of torque. Its extremely smooth motor and runs so nice. It currently has 4,982 miles on the new motor. I used break in oil for the proper amount of miles and then changed it to Conventional 10W40 and I suggest you do the same. Its a older designed motor and synthetics are- and this sounds funny- too slippery. Ive always used Amsoil in my other cars but for conventional I recommend, Castrol or Mobile. I have babied this car so there has never been and off roading, I know its capable, but I wanted this for the looks not the capabilities. When I removed the engine I used POR15 satin black To treat the interior firewall and chassis. POR is fantastic and is used to prohibit rust from developing. The body is good and straight.
All the exterior panels are aluminum. The hood and tailgate being the exception. No rust on them. The floor pan on driver side and passenger side have two small holes that will need to be addressed in the future but I cleared it of rust and used POR15 for the floor pans to prevent more erosion. One thing Im not is a welder, but again its not in need of replacing immediately. I have constantly kept vigil with POR15 on the chassis and all Metal parts. The chassis is in excellent condition straight and true
On the chassis, I have replaced the four coil springs, all rear bushings, new panhard rod bushings rear, all front bushings, new panhard rod bushings front, steering linkage, new pitman arm, new lower tie rod ends, new upper tie rod end, new steering box, new steering damper and tires.
I have identified just about all of the facts regarding improvements made but I am happy to answer any questions that you may have as well. As a Range Rover Classic enthusiast and collector please ask any question. I enjoy answering them.
I am confident that this vehicle will serve you no matter what your plans are for it and as it is one of a kind, it will do so with all of the distinction and performance that no other Range Rover Classic has! It has been a part of my family and we all will greatly miss it, but its time for someone else to enjoy it and continue its legacy, its ongoing.

Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars
Fri, Aug 5 2016In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
