Mint 1994 Range Rover County Lwb on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
You will be hard pressed, especially on the Eastern Coast of the USA to find a cleaner, more original '94 LWB. The County has always been my wifes favorite... a few years ago, this Range Rover was sitting next to a yacht in a marina here in Maine; wearing California plates. I walked up to the eighty year old gentleman and casually said, "if you ever want to sell this, I would buy it". He stood up and said "lets do it" & I drove it home. I have owned the truck for three years & am in the process of clearing out my entire collection of cars and motorcycles. This is one of the last of fifteen vehicles to hit the auc tion block. This near mint, collector quality LWB has just over 82,000 fully documented miles. She was delivered by enclsoed truck every year back and forth from Maine to Californa... she has never seen salt or snow & her documentation is second to none. Condition... Near MINT. I am an avid automobile collector and have never seen a LWB as good as this example. I have not detailed the car for the photos included in this auction so its not the typical auction where the owners sprays the car with Armorall to make it look good for the auction. This truck never see's rain, snow or sun & is always kept in a heated shop. We drive the car no more than 2500 miles a year in sunshine only. She could use a clay bar buff and there are a few very small dings that I have not had pulled yet. I did however have my ding puller guy examine the car while working on another for me & the few small dings can be pulled & there will be no evidence of the dings. They are very difficult to have show up in the photos. As you may know, the entire body is aluminum so corrosion is not an issue except for the typical spot welds Range Rover issue in the taillight assembly. Land Rover used an aluminum panel against a steel bracket and this area on the tailgate tends to be vulnerable for these old classic Rovers. This particular rover has some slight corrosion at the spot welds and this can be fixed easily by driling out the spot welds and repainting the area around the tail lights. This is the only corrosion on the truck with the exception of the rear bumper that has some slight surface rust as shown in one picture below the 'County' logo. This will be a one hour repair for a body shop to respray the bumper. There is NO pitting, just surface rust that needs a sand & quick respray. The front ARB bumper is brand new; I never got around to buying or installing the winch. The interior is phenominal... The mats were not in the Rover when I took the photos as the carpets were just steam cleaned... but the original wool mats are in fantastic shape. All the glass is near perfect, including the rear tailgate glass which was replaced two years ago from Rovers North. All the guages work, everything electrical works inside and out as it should except the heated seats dont quite put out the heat I need but I havn't driven it in the winter so it has never been an issue. All the leather is PRIMO, still supple and just about perfect. Headliner is perfect. The cruise control does not work, never has but it just needs a new control unit. The truck, inside and out is completely original except for the ARB bumper. We replaced the bumper as we have a camp in Northern Maine where there are so many moose, that you need protection from a collision. Never had a collsion with a moose, but the front end of the truck is ready. The catylitic converter has a slight rattle to it once in a while. It is an internal baffle; being so old... I would just cut out the converter and run without one rather than replacing. The Rand Rover also leaks a few drops of oil when parked; there isn't a classic Land Rover on earth that doesn't leak a few drops so it is something one just has to get used to if you own an old Rover. If I have taken a picture of one tire for example, the other are in the exact same conditoin... same for the wheels, wheel arches, etc. Please email me with any questions and I will repsond promptly. In summary, in order to make this RR one of the best of the best; it will need a few dings pulled, respray the rear bumper & address the issue of the corrosion in way of the pop rivets in the tail light assembly. Unfortunately, this pop rivet situation is the case with all of the classic RR's. Again, after years of looking...I dont think you will find one in this condition, documented as such & with only 82,000 original miles. A day's worth of minor touch up work & you will own the finest SUV ever made. Would be perfect on the Vinyard, some estate or crusing the woods. MY APPOLOGIES TO EVERYONE.. I DELETED THE AUCTION LAST NIGHT BY MISTAKE.

The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years
Mon, Apr 22 2024Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the “top” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.
Jaguar Land Rover to cut thousands of UK jobs
Thu, Jan 10 2019LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is set to cut thousands of jobs as the company faces lower demand in China and a slump in sales of diesel cars in Europe. The central English firm builds a higher proportion of its cars in Britain than any other major or medium-sized carmaker and has also spent millions of pounds preparing for Brexit, in case there are tariffs or customs checks. Britain's business minister Greg Clark said on Thursday it is clear why a no-deal Brexit would add to the problems with further costs and disruption. JLR lost 354 million pounds ($450 million) between April and September 2018 and had already cut around 1,000 roles in Britain, shut its Solihull plant for two weeks and announced a three-day week at its Castle Bromwich site. Its Chief Executive Ralf Speth warned in September that the wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of car jobs and posed a threat to production at the automaker. The Tata Motors-owned company, which employs around 40,000 people in Britain and has boosted its workforce at new plants in China and Slovakia in recent years, unveiled plans to cut costs and improve cash flows by 2.5 billion pounds last year including "reducing employment costs and employment levels." Those cuts will be "substantial" and run into the thousands, the source told Reuters. "The announcement on job losses will be substantial, affecting managerial, research, sales, design," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, not affecting production-line staff "at this stage." The company declined to comment when contacted by Reuters on Thursday. Ford also said on Thursday it will cut thousands of jobs in Europe, exit unprofitable markets and discontinue loss-making vehicle lines as part of a turnaround effort aimed at improving profit margins in the region. Brexit warnings JLR, which became Britain's biggest carmaker in 2016, had been on course to build around 1 million vehicles by the turn of the decade, reported on Thursday a 4.6 percent drop in full-year sales to just under 600,000 vehicles. Demand in China, which had once been one of its strongest countries but has since been hit by a slowdown, fell by 21.6 percent, the biggest drop of any of its markets. "The economic slowdown in China along with ongoing trade tensions is continuing to influence consumer confidence," said Jaguar Land Rover Chief Commercial Officer Felix Brautigam.
Jaguar F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show
Mon, Mar 26 2018It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
