This is an auction for a 1993 Range Rover Classic powered by a 3.9 EFI V8. The Classic bodywork has been replaced by a Traka kit which is produced by NCF Motors of Bishop Auckland, Yorkshire, England. The Traka bolts directly onto a Range Rover 100 inch chassis. It is lightweight and the roll cage is manufactured from 48mm BS 1387 Motor Sport Association approved tube. The whole front end with integral bull bar and galvanised steel bonnet pivots forward allowing excellent engine access. This all bolts onto the Range Rover chassis complete with galvanised side panels, galvanised inner arches and plastic mudguards. CHASSIS: 1993 Range Rover 100 inch wheelbase. Front and rear overhangs removed. Chassis is perfect and has never been repaired. All suspension mounts remain standard Range Rover. ENGINE: 3.9 EFI V8. 185 bhp at 4750rpm. 235 lb/ft or torque at 2600 rpm. Perfect working order. No oil loss or overheating. Excellent oil pressure. Just rebuilt with all gaskets and seals replaced. Heads slightly skimmed. New cam, hydraulic lifters, timing chain and sprockets. New valve springs. New plugs and leads. Vehicle has a top speed in excess of 100 MPH. SUSPENSION AND AXLES: Fully rebuilt front and rear axles. New, black teflon coated front swivels, gator protected. New polybushings. 4 X new springs, 4 X new shocks. Even though springs are standard height and loading they give a slightly stiffer ride due to the dramatic weight reduction over a standard Range Rover. BRAKES: Standard Range Rover. Discs all round. Rebuilt calipers with new seals and stainless steel pistons. New pads. Stainless Goodridge hoses. New brake lines. New master cylinder and new servo. WHEELS/TYRES: BF Goodrich All Terrains 33X12.5 R15. Spare is new with 13.5mm of tread. the rest showing 12mm of tread. Black, steel modular rims. GERABOX: Permanent 4WD with limited slip centre diff. 4 speed ZF automatic. High and low ratio. Completely standard and free from any defects. All seals and gaskets replaced. New transfer chain. New filter and fluids. A road speed of 70MPH equates to 2500 RPM in top gear. STEERING: LHD and power assisted. I spent this Winter converting it from RHD. Quite a simple job thanks to the Land Rover construction. Light and precise at all road speeds. PROPANE: Vehicle was professionally converted to run on just propane in 2000. I have a UK certificate of conformity. Starts instantly and runs perfect even from cold. A 66L and 90L feeds the V8. You can only fill to 80% which gives you a capacity of 125L. 18 MPG is easily achievable which gives you just under a 500 mile range. I have just rebuilt the BRC AT90E dual diaphragm vaporiser. Incredibly simple open loop system. QUESTIONS: I'm sure there will be many. I have owned this vehicle since 2006 and imported it into Canada from the UK in 2008. I am currently going through the registration process in B.C. Due to the bodywork change I had a Structural Integrity Report which includes a steering alignment report. I have my UK registration Cert. and correctly stamped Vehicle Import Form 1 for vehicles over 15 years old. I just need a safety inspection (Brakes, lights, heater, glass, washers, seat belts etc.) which I am told the vehicle will pass if I disable the propane and do the test powered by petrol. If the Range Rover goes to a new owner I would like some input as to what to do. Make the propane system comply to B.C. rules.(I have copper lines and apparently you need rubber) Fit a fuel cell and pump alongside the propane or remove the propane and install fuel cells and pump. Keep as is and use just for off road. Auction is for the vehicle as is.Vehicle is located at V1E 0B2. B.C. Canada and I welcome any inspection or test drive. If you are serious about this vehicle you must do your own homework. I will help with all shipping, collection and delivery instructions. It might look like a child's toy but it is a very large and powerful vehicle. Please see the last two photos next to a four door Jeep for scale purposes. Range Rovers are incredibly tough vehicles and the 100" wheelbase is ideal for off road use. Not too long as to hinder off road progress yet long enough to be stable at highway speeds. I have built many over the years and even entered another 100" Range Rover in various Dakar rallies. If you would like to see and hear this vehicle running please search YouTube for a "1993 Range Rover Traka Propane." If I have failed to answer your questions please do not hesitate to contact me via eBay or Tel: 250 833 5550. Thanks, Steven.

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models
Thu, Oct 1 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
