All of the doors including the rear cargo door have been removed, broke down to the frame and door skins removed; all rust removed, fabricated new metal frames, and welded back together. The 2 front doors now have brand new rocky mountain door tops and seals between the door top and the top of the door.

Windshield is in great condition. The front vents have new seals and open and close as intended to provide plenty of fresh air to the cabin.  
The frame- was inspected from front to rear and no rust was found so it is the original frame but the entire frame was primed with a rust inhibitor and painted with an under coating. No repairs were needed to be made to the frame. The front side of the bulkhead after repair and seal was sprayed with ALS bed liner red in color Polyurethane.
The axles- front and rear inspected and all seals replaced. This rover has a Salisbury rear axle which can handle the toque of the 200TDI engine on the freeway.
The engine- 200TDi had only 95000k on it but it sat in storage for a long time so when pulled to install found that it needed a total rebuild as water had got into the cyl 1 and 2. Engine was torn down to the last bolt and nut and machined and resurfaced and installed all new parts inside and out and balanced engine via machine shop with all new seals from top to bottom and put back together by Caseys custom in Oregon and now it Starts every time on the first try and doesn’t have any issues running at all and it is as smooth as it can be with plenty of torque and a lot better performance than the original 2.25 LT petrol engine.
The transmission- was checked before the 200tdi was installed and it is smooth in all gears and does not grind or crunch ever. The clutch catches exactly the way it should.
It has no power steering but it is recommended it should eventually get a power steering using the P38 Range Rover conversion. The suspension is tight and there is no floating sensation over bumps or during turns have new tie rod ends installed with the steering dampener / absorber.
It has 4 brand new Rocky Mountain Parabolic heavy duty springs. 4 new pro-comp shock absorbers and bushings installed. Brand new custom made 2.00 inch exhaust pipes and Magnaflow Muffler tucked away high under the chassis for clearance and wrapped with Summit racing heat wraps coming out the left side of rear 1/4.

The bulkhead was totally refurbished with new RHD & LHD footwells welded; new front door pillars both sides, both front door pillar bottom brackets, both sides top corner bulkhead repair piece.

All of the rear and front signal lights and side markers assembly have been replaced with complete new housings, wiring and bulbs. The 4 safari roof vents function normal.
VIN- This Rover was brought in from UK into Vancouver BC Canada and then sold to the previous owner to me into Washington State. When it was imported into Canada the Canadian rules required the Rover to have a longer digits  in the VIN number so one was issued to the Rover and it is stamped and tagged into the door post on driver side by the Canadian customs.

SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace

Sun, May 24 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

Win an electric car and celebrate Earth Day

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Enter to win this giveaway or any other Omaze experience now through April 23, 2021 and receive 500 extra entries into any campaign plus a chance to win $10K with code GOGREEN500. Simply add the discount at checkout. Whether you like it or not, there will come a day when most, if not all of us, will be driving electric cars. For some of us that day can't come soon enough, and in honor of Earth Day we've put together a list of our favorite car giveaways so you can save some green while being green.  Win a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S and $20,000 - Enter Here If there’s one thing Porsche is good at, itÂ’s making fast, beautiful cars, and the Taycan Turbo S is no exception. Making 750 horsepower, 774 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 161 miles per hour, punching the accelerator will surely throw you back in your seat. In fact, its 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds matches that of the quickest Porsche 911 ever made, the Turbo S. The difference between this Taycan Turbo S and that 911 Turbo S, of course, is that the only reason youÂ’ll ever need to stop off at a gas station is to fill up on snacks. That and the fact the Taycan doesn't actually have a turbo anywhere in the car. We wouldnÂ’t be reaching for a bag of FlaminÂ’ Hot Cheetos, though, because this incredibly comfortable leather interior is immaculate, and weÂ’d hope to keep it that way. Enter here for a chance to win this prize worth $220,000. Win a Himalaya Land Rover Defender 110 EV and $20,000 - Enter Here The Land Rover Defender is an icon: an intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn't been available in the United States and it's never been what youÂ’d call environmentally friendly. But this Defender is different. ItÂ’s vintage, restored by Himalaya and itÂ’s all-electric. At 275 horsepower, you wonÂ’t be thrown back in your seat, but the 406 lb-ft of torque helps make this an incredibly capable rock crawler.
