For sale is my County Sable Edition 1993 Range Rover Long Wheel Base - SALHC1343PA639159. 


Wife finally making me sell my third vehicle to get our garage back - not to mention kid college fund ;)


Air suspension works as it should; never buy a LWB converted to coil springs (trust me, I have owned three).


Only year to have the beautiful Mediterranean Poplar wood trim – just awesome.


Refer to www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/1993.html for all specs. 


Sable model was a $1,500 option introduced mid-way in 1993 model year. 


There were approximately 200 of the models with the Beluga Black paint and "Unique Black Accent CSK Wheels and Dark Sable Connolly Leather Seats and Trim". 


fyi - CSK was introduced to Range Rover in 1991 as a special edition model named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original 2-door Range Rover.


The 1993 County LWB was named "Best New Light Truck or Sport Utility Vehicle " by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).


It was also named "Best Sport Utility Vehicle in North America" by Playboy Magazine.


California model: all 1993s sold in CA had an extra $100.00 charge "For costs incurred by LRNA to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements."


Three owners with first owner having it 18 years, as follows:


>Original owner was dentist in San Fran, CA.; he owned it from 1993 new to approx. 2011 and clearly loved it with many refreshings including the new engine we will go over below.


>Second owner, also from CA, had a few unique range rovers but mostly was involved in a California Porsche club.


>Third owner (me, private seller) - a Land Rover enthusiast that has owned four over the last 16 years (one new Discovery II and three pre-owned RR LWBs, 1993/4/5


I honestly like the 93/4 LWB models better than the 1995 (even though the 95 had airbags with the discovery soft dash).  Why?  The classic dash set up - old school British!


I transported on a reputable car carrier from CA to FL - not driven.


New engine, 4.6, was installed at 112K mileage - a $9K upgrade - see picture of invoice.  Only 45k miles on it - many, many years to go!  See receipt picture


A high performance cam was installed same time as engine to increase performance and drive ability.


fyi - original model’s 4.2 V-8 had 200 HP; the 4.6 has 225 and feels and sounds very stronger (as I have owned two other lwbs). 


Driver side electric seat went out a year ago but believe it could just be a fuse; anyone over 5 feet, 9 inches does not need to move seat anyways. 


The passenger side seems to work ok moving back but lately started having issues moving forward; regardless, due to the uniqueness of classic range rovers, I recommend the new owner keep seats in a standard position at all times (in case they go out).


Heated front windshield and front seats do not work as per normal on rangies but not a huge deal.


Multiple sets of keys and remote key fobs.


Original manual and papers included. 


Tail gate is fine but new owner may want to replace frame with aftermarket aluminum version within five+ years; the tail gates on all rangies have issues as it is a steel component; you can replace the frame reasonably (or the whole glass unit). 


The main body is aluminum and is in great shape except for the passenger door bottom area (four inches) were a patch was done (but cannot really see well) - see picture. 


No wrecks; also, the Paint is original - still shiny too as evidenced by pictures; amazing looking truck that turns heads. 


Connolly Leather has been deeply conditioned four times in last three years; prior to that it is unknown but the leather is very, very nice.  Lexol brand is way to go!


Front seats almost look as if no one sat in them; what impresses me most is how thick the British Connolly leather is on the 1993s. 


Rear seats are almost incredible but there is one area that is a little dry so could later be redyed (6 inch area), etc to get back to normal (albeit unnecessary).


Battery installed late 2012 from second owner.


Tires are new from second owner and are like 95%; they were bought in 2012 by second owner


Expensive fuel filter installed 2014 (tough to replace in back right of vehicle).


I will include a new air filter in its box (for later use).


Sunroof and air suspension operate with no issues.


Headliner was replaced by second owner and is perfect; only the sunroof portion is not 100% - just needs minor regluing (albeit unnecessary). 


The pictures are mostly done in the neutral air suspension position but I have a couple shots showing the high and low profile ride heights. 


Again, never buy a Rangie LWB converted to coil springs as it (1) loses it charm, (2) usually has the car sit too high, and (3) loses its very unique feel (very squishy and I love it).


Front passenger door has the minor issue repaired by first owner - I believe he had opened it into a San Fran curb but you cannot see the patch; it should be corrected only if repainted.


Original manual and what we believe are full records – massive stack of papers including the document for the engine conversion.


iPod port installed by second owner.


Second owner also installed the nice light guards. 


Multi-CD changer. 


Cassette stock radio with a/d/s speakers and subwoofer.


For me, the major draw to 1993 vs 1994 was the Mediterranean Popular wood; they switched to burlwood for 1994. 


Wood is a 9+/10 condition; only the shifter cap is faded and can easier be replaced (if even wanted).


Rare Sable rear cover included; that alone draws major dollars in the aftermarket.


Dash is perfect; zero cracking, etc.; this truck has been cared for and is definitely one that will remain a strong classic for another decade+.


The undercarriage is super clean; it had some type of coating/painting done by a previous owner (but I do not know details).


Air conditioning and heating work as they should. 


No air bags. 


Cup holders are great but if you want more let me know and I’ll include the bolt on ones I took off an old Land Rover Discovery (otherwise I may sell those on ebay for a nice sum).


I know a concern with most SUVs is whether or not a shorter person can get in easily; no worries as the air suspension can be lowered when you park.


Smoke Free by me last two years; no info on owners 1 & 2.


Cruise control not working but that is common issue on these SUVs.


Sold new at British Motors of San Francisco Ca.


It was heavily been dealer serviced and maintained but specialist Roverland in San Francisco has performed majority of services.


This car has been owned by three meticulous enthusiasts that treated the car well. 


LWB is the only way to go for the Classic Rangies; the short wheel bases just don't compare.


Last series of RRs that were old school British (they dropped off with the 1996 model).


H4 headlights.


Serviced factory air suspension by owners one and two; I never had to service it as third owner.


The rangie has a slightly throaty sound from the upgraded NRP after-market exhaust system the second owner installed.


Replaced right front caliper and new brake pads in July 2012.


Factory remote key system works perfectly on one fob but the second one has a dead battery (no big deal to replace).


Other work done by owners two/three: the catalytic convertors, transfer case, front wheel bearings, radiator, water pump, brakes.


The headliner is new; only the sunroof portion has some unstuck glue (easily corrected).  


Second owner installed medium after-market tint (which looks nice with Black paint); this can be removed easily, if wanted.


MESSAGE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

Clean title; I own this SUV out right.

***This is a 1993 so please don't expect a show car - but do expect an 8 out of 10 in my eye - a rangie you will be very proud of***.

Range Rover versus Mercedes-Benz: Which makes a more appealing SUV?

Mon, Aug 14 2017

From time to time — truth be told, all the time — the Autoblog staff enjoys a good debate on the merits and demerits of the cars and trucks we drive each week. This week, we spent some time in a brand-new Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged SUV, a model some of us think sits at the pinnacle of the luxury utility vehicle segment. Others disagree. The following is a real-life online debate that took place over the course of a few hours. Have a read, and feel free to take sides. There's a poll at the end so you can make your voice heard. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Strange as it may sound, Jeremy Clarkson and I have a few things in common, most obvious of which is that we share a given name. But we also both love cars so much that we decided to turn our automotive passion into a career — with varying degrees of success, of course — and we both have come to realize over time that there's no point in trying to topple the Land Rover Range Rover as the world's best luxury off-road utility vehicle. Thing is, this universal truth isn't quite as universally shared as I think it should be. In fact, my esteemed colleague Alex Kierstein believes that Mercedes-Benz makes the most desirable four-wheel-drive off-road vehicles. He's clearly wrong, but I feel obligated to let him explain his choice, though it won't go without a rebuttal. Senior Editor Alex Kierstein: That's correct, and so am I in this regard. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but it's an irrefutable fact that Mercedes-Benz is doing the best interiors in the business now. And the interior is where you're going to spend most of your time, at least when the thing's running. The Range Rover's interior simply isn't as special, and frankly it'll be in the shop enough that you won't enjoy it. Now, stepping into pretty much any contemporary Mercedes sedan interior is a "wow" moment. They seem special — posh, exclusive, luxurious. The SUVs, all older vehicles coming due for total redesigns at some point in the future, are lagging a bit, but it's still a premium and upscale experience. Especially since performance is almost academic at this point. Anything in this class is going to be powerful, almost absurdly so. So why not go for the one that makes you feel like royalty, rather than your mechanic? JK: I just want to point out that it was you who brought reliability into this discussion.

Jaguar wants to become the British electric company

Thu, Sep 8 2016

Jaguar has been telegraphing its electric future for years, and this week we're beginning to see it come to fruition. The company's Formula E race team officially launched September 8 with sponsorship, livery, and an interesting name for its racecar, the I-Type 1. It marks Jaguar's return to factory-supported racing and serves as a model for the company's future strategy. "The Formula E championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions," Nick Rogers, executive director of product engineering at Jaguar Land Rover, said in a statement. "We will apply this vital knowledge as part of our real-world development." Formula E competition starts October 9 as the all-electric racing series begins its third season. Panasonic signed on as the title sponsor of the team. Formula E is a natural move for Jag and allows the British company to remain true to its racing heritage while still looking toward. The company claims seven Le Mans titles, which is the fourth-most in history, even though it hasn't won one since 1990. That's a great lineage, but Jaguar knows it's getting dusty. Launching a Formula E effort allows it to compete in a form of motorsports that should prove relevant to road-car technology. Jag is drawing on Williams Advanced Engineering (you might have heard of its F1 team) for the electric powertrain. Williams also helped with the development of Jaguar's C-X75 plug-in concept car. Meanwhile, we also captured an F-Pace crossover silently testing this week in the Alps. Though it looks like a normal F-Pace, spy shooters report it was producing no engine noise, leading (or perhaps leaping) to the conclusion it's the rumored electric SUV Jaguar is working on. Likely, this prototype has a diesel engine as a range extender. View 11 Photos Though the camouflaged F-Pace is great fodder for speculation, Jag's electric efforts are not a secret. Jaguar and Land Rover showed off three electric-vehicle demonstrators last year and the company is exploring everything from mild hybrids to full electric powertrains. JLR has filed paperwork to secure trademarks for I-Pace and E-Pace. "JLR is definitely rushing headfirst into electrification," said Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis for research firm AutoPacific.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830

Fri, May 3 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
