 This is a 1995 Range Rover Classic LWB finished in Beluga Black with tan leather interior.  Below is a description of the various systems of the truck:

Exterior:
The truck looks pretty good for its age.  The black paint is faded somewhat on the hood and on the top of the vehicle.  The sides of the truck still have their shine.  The windshield has no cracks or rock pits.  There was a brush guard on the front, but I took it off since I prefer the look of the truck without it.  I do still have it should the new owner be interested in it.  The rear upper hatch is rusted out and doesn't stay shut which is a common Rover Classic problem.  A new one can be obtained here on ebay or through a recycler.  The tires are a matching set of Michelins and are decent, but will need to be changed soon.

Interior:
Overall, the tan leather interior and carpet looks pretty good.  The driver's seat has the usual wear, whereas the passenger seat and rear seat look really good.  The power windows work as they should.  The stereo works as it should, but it is missing the CD changer in the back.  The power door locks work from the inside, but the key won't turn the lock in the driver nor passenger door.  The headliner is falling which is another common Rover problem.  The driver's memory, power seat is not working with the switch.  The switch is wired through an ECU which typically fails on these trucks.  You can hook a 12V battery up to a terminal block under the driver's seat to move it.  The motors in the seat work, just not the switch via the ECU.  The passenger seat will move.  I have no idea if the sunroof works as I never tried it.  The A/C and heat both work great.  Some of the wood trim on the console is delaminating due to age.  The typical Rover lights are on/come and go:  traction, ABS, and SRS.  These don't effect driveability so I never looked into them.

Mechanical:
The truck starts up and runs out good.  It does have a slight miss at idle, but goes away once at speed.  I had the old air suspension replaced with OME springs.  The transmission shifts out as it should with no problems.  The front driveshaft ujoints have recently been replaced, as well as front tie rods and drag link.  The truck has been serviced (oil and filter) on time throughout my ownership.

This is what I know about this truck at the time of this listing.  The mileage might be slightly higher by the auction end due to it being driven sparingly.  Please keep in mind this is a British vehicle with Lucas electronics, 19 years of age and 148,600 miles under its belt.  Things can and will go wrong, so please keep this in mind when contemplating and expectation you might have about the truck.  However, this is a robust, fun truck that is a joy to drive.  This vehicle has never left me stranded and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country.  Please email with any questions you might have.  Thanks

***Notice***  This auction is not a game.  Once the auction is over, it will be time to immediately pay the down payment via paypal and arrange payment of the balance within seven days of the auction closing with a cashier's check or cash.  This is not the time to want to kick tires or ask questions.  Please ask all questions prior to auction closing.  If you want to know more about the truck, please email me with your number and I'll call you.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024

Tue, Jan 23 2024

What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.    Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.

Jaguar Land Rover reportedly developing Road Rover car

Tue, Sep 26 2017

Reports are circulating in the automotive media that Jaguar Land Rover is developing a vehicle that's not an SUV. Called the Road Rover, it would be an all-electric luxury car with "some" all-terrain capability, hinting at all wheel drive. Initially, the EV would launch in late 2019, then spawn more models to complete the lineup. There is also talk about JLR's interest in an outright purchase of an existing luxury car brand to join its portfolio, and that parent company Tata has already given this strategic move the green light. Tata has also reportedly made moves to protect its JLR ownership via acquiring more of its own stock. All this excitement brings to mind the fact that there once existed an actual Road Rover — the Rover brand. Having evolved into MG Rover before going into administration in 2005 and subsequently reborn in China under SAIC Motor ownership, Rover was a moderately posh British carmaker just beneath the level of prestige that Jaguar offered. For some years, both were part of the same corporation. The last Rover saloons were designed and built with BMW input, and at that point Land Rover had already become part of Ford, almost a decade after Jaguar did. Ford's tenure with Land Rover lasted from 2000 to 2008, when Tata bought the British brand — along with the Rover name. Would it just make sense to badge the road car Rover, with no Road or Land affixed to it? Rover's slovenly demise is more than a decade old now, but there's plenty of valuable history still embedded in the long-shelved Viking ship logo. Cast aside memories of Sterling-badged Honda Legend platform siblings and unattractively Federalized SD1 series cars, and take whatever good the 1999-2005 Rover 75 brought to the table — maybe it's time for Rover to be reborn in the current Jaguar Land Rover family. According to Autocar, the first Road Rover would be developed in tandem with the next-generation Jaguar XJ, so they would share an aluminum architecture suitable for both internal combustion engines and battery electric technology, depending of the model. If anything, there is delicious irony to this: The 1980s XJ generation that Jaguar spent decades developing was claimed to be engineered in such a way that the occasional stablemate Rover's Buick-derived 3,5-liter V8 wouldn't have fit in its engine bay — to preserve the Jaguar bloodline. To have the new XJ and a Rover cross paths again would only be fitting. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar Land Rover likely to build US plant... in three years

Mon, Mar 9 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may very well open a plant in the United States, but the latest word has it that it'll be another three years or so before the company even makes a decision on the matter. The prospect first came up on our radar back in October when we reported that JLR was considering building a plant in the South. Georgia governor Nathan Deal even flew to the UK to solicit JLR's business. Former parent-company chairman Ratan Tata subsequently confirmed the idea was under consideration last month. And now the British automaker's CEO has told Automotive News that JLR will need a US assembly plant to fuel its growth in the vital North American market, but that'll it'll take a while to get going. The reasons for the delay, according to chief executive Ralf Speth, are threefold. For one thing, the automaker has its hands full at the moment opening plants in other locations: last year it opened one in China and this year it opened one in Brazil. It also recently opened a new SVO facility, an electric-propulsion R&D center and a new engine plant all in the UK, and can only handle building so many new facilities at a time. JLR will also need US suppliers of aluminum components to step up their game, as the company relies heavily on aluminum construction for their vehicles. US automakers shifting to aluminum for models like the new Ford F-150 will encourage American suppliers to get into the game, but it may be a while before they're up to Jaguar Land Rover standards. Finally, JLR will need to increase its sales potential in the US in order to justify local production. Speth says the company would need one model of which it could sell 30,000 to 40,000 units in the US alone, and it sold less than 18,000 units of its best-selling the Range Rover Sport here last year. In fact the entire Jaguar brand sold less than 16,000 units throughout all of last year in America, with Land Rover selling far more at over 50,000 units to contribute to total sales of over 67,000 units.
