               Solid 1991 Range Rover County Short Wheel base. This is a fairly rare, original GREAT DIVIDE EDITION. It is correctly titled and badged as an original GD, #175. There were 409 of these made in 1990, and all were sold as 1991 models ( there is extensive history on the GDs available). There are reportedly less than 200 left according to the LR registry. This GD has been a California RRC all of its life, and as such, the aluminum panels, roof, doors and undercarriage are rust free and solid throughout, making it a perfect candidate for a mild restoration or drive it as it is.

This is a fairly rare, one-year-only model of the GD in the US. I had no intention of selling it, but a sudden job-relocation makes this improbable. Reluctantly, I am posting it for sale here to find it a good Rover home.

 

              This GD comes fully-equipped  with the County package ( all Power accessories work, including all four windows, both power seats, hard sunroof and central locking), with the original stock 3.9L V8 engine, heavy-duty suspension revised with OldMan 2" lift set up, EMU springs and  struts, Updated front suspension, correct GD optional wheels, original early Land Rover all-metal sidesteps, factory tow package and roof bars. It has 213K original miles, and it runs well.

The automatic transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears. There is NO slippage or grinding of gears. No rearend, axle or bearing noises. The 4x4 system works well into both L and H gearing.

The 3.9L engine received a top-end overhaul about 2 yrs ago. It is tight and not a leaky mess like most. It is completely original, without any modifications from stock, except for an alternator shield and auxiliary PIAA light-back up system pod. The car has had a remanufactured BOSCH alternator replaced, along with a starter, as well as a Beck-Arnley water pump, ABS module and brake pump. Brakes are about 70%. This GD has stock-size radials with fair tread ( about 60% left), mounted on the factory GD alloy wheels. NO front-end vibrations, wobbling or pulling.

 

               The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with absolutely NO rust whatsoever, anywhere in, under or around the car. The body is completely 100% RUST-FREE, as any clean, California car should always be. The original factory finish has held up remarkably well, with no flaking of the clearcoat anywhere, or fading to the roofline, hood or filler front panel. The original Alpine white still retains a beautiful shine despite the passing of years, evident that it has been regularly garaged. It would probably clean up even better with a good polishing.

 

The interior upholstery is in better than average condition, except the bottoms of both front seats which are in need of reupholstering ( I have an estimate to re-do them both for $300). There are NO cracks, splits, tears or separation of the seams in ay of the remaining seats, and they are all the perforated upholstery, unique to the GREAT DIVIDE models only. The rest of the upholstery, including the other seats and all door panels are in very good shape, clean and with no damage. The factory carpeting is clean, and I had it recently professionally shampooed, along with the trunk carpeting, which is also clean.

 

                    Overall, it is a very solid, original Range Rover, and a hard-to-find GD in its fairly original configuration. It has NEVER been in an accident, off-roaded, abused or wrecked. I have listed the car to sell, with a ridiculous $1 opening bid. That being said, I have advertised it in various other venues, and am open to a reasonable, FAIR offer.

To those that like to play games and bid $5 at the time, this is NOT going to be the car for you. To the serious, potential interested bidders, I welcome your bid and any questions you may have concerning the GD. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time, should a serious offer present itself, so bid early and bid often~!

 

          Upon end of the auction, I would like to receive payment within three business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in place and sorted out before placing a bid, in order to make timely payment.

If that means asking your significant other, checking with your boss that you are not getting transferred to Saudi Arabia or checking any significant tornado patterns landing in your home state, PLEASE do so prior to placing a bid and prior to the end of the auction.

Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the CA title and bill of sale to the GREAT DIVIDE, via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise noted. Method of payment can be a cashier's check, or money order(s). Personal, business, C.C advance or annuity account checks may be utilized, but must clear funding before the car is released. Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be sent to my local CHASE bank branch here in town; it allows for faster shipping arrangements and a timely closing of the transaction. Finally, PAYPAL may be used as an alternative if previously arranged between the buyer and seller (me), prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction.

 

     I shall be glad to assist with transportation/ delivery of this Rover to any location, nationwide or overseas. I can make all arrangements for shipping from here to your location, at the most economical shipping rate available.

 

Feel free to EM or call me with questions at (650) 430-4660 ( no later than 9pm PST, please). Thank you for your interest~!

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
