1998 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6

I purchased this car in 2011 and am the 4th owner.  I have meticulously repaired and maintained the car with the idea of keeping it forever.  After recently acquiring more toys, my garage space has become limited so unfortunately she needs to find a new home.  I will do my best to detail everything about the car.  I have spent lots of time and money to keep her in great shape so the sale is a bit bitter-sweet for me.  I have invested well over $8,000.00 in the last three years into the car.

Condition of car:

Engine runs strong, does not smoke or burn oil, she runs well for 179k miles.  Transmission run well and shifts through all gears. Both front differentials have been replaced with low mileage used units, filled with synthetic fluid and use a disco magnetic drain plug to accumulate debris and extend life.  Both front wheel bearing/hubs have been replaced (expensive parts).  All electronic system work and function properly while there are (NO CODES) or dash lights indicating any errors or repairs needed.  I have only 1 key but key fob works great.I also have the original Land rover leather book in the glove box with the manual. Paint is in decent to good shape and is original although she has a few dings and small scratches as most 16 year old cars would have.  I would give the paint  a 7 out of 10 as I am a stickler for detail.  I have made my best attempt to show the imperfections in my pictures in the spirit of full disclosure.  Interior is good, there are some scratches on the door panels from a previous owners dog but could be easily repaired by a interior specialist.  Leather seats are in good shape with no tears.  Rear seats are perfect while the fronts are decent but could use a redye to get back to original condition.  Brakes have been replaced and serviced all around (pads and rotors).  Headlights have been updated with XENON HID and I have the original lights if you want to revert back to OEM. Front side markers have been updated to euro white style and the front yellow markers are replaced with VALEO OEM Japanese style clear markers (Very hard to find).  By getting rid of the yellow in the front of the car it has more Euro look.  Every component has been replaced or rebuilt in the air suspension system and works like a charm. I am including a extra rebuilt EAS pump in the sale.  Many people tear out the beautiful air suspension systems in these cars because they have a hard time fixing the systems.  If you know P38's, part of the beauty of this car is its ride quality and self leveling air suspension.  When loading 6 or more people + luggage the ride is instantly adjusted so the car is riding at the perfect height.  Tires are new Firestone Destination ST with about 60-70% tread left. The tires are a great balance - they are very quite on the highway but handles well in rain and snow.  Its the perfect all weather tire for the car.  Rims are in great shape for the original Mondial's and have not been repainted or harshly curbed. There are a few scuffs on the edges of a few of the rims but overall they are in great shape. AC blows cold, compressor is new and system has been recently charged. Exhaust has been updated with a $650 stainless steel Magnaflow system.  Cats have been replaced with Magnaflow system as well so in essence new exhaust from the manifold back. Fuel injectors where upgraded with Bosch Gen3 for better gas mileage.
 
I have spent over $8,000.00 in the last three years bringing this car to great mechanical condition.  Here is a list of work that I have had done:
  • New Firestone FS Destination ST XL Tires (70% tread left)
  • Front differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)
  • Rear differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)

  • Replaced key fob buttons,batteries and back cover
  • Included rebuilt EAS pump with sale of car ($500 value)
  • Included (4) u-joints for prop shafts (current ones are fine I bought these to eventually put in)
There is a bit of a small dent on the rear hatch (as shown in pictures) and some other small dings around the car as shown in the pictures. There is a very light scratch on the front left side of the bonnet as shown in pictures.  I have also included a video link to see and hear the car running.


The only existing issue I know of is the drivers door lock tumbler works intermittently however its not an issue as the keyfob works flawlessly to enter/exit and lock the car.  I think its just a loose connector rod in the door.  Other than that the car is in great shape, everything works as it should and the car drives well  The rear hatch has been debadged I have the Original Land Rover badge and will include with the auction.

Priced to sell fast the auction starts at $ 4,200 with no reserve. Car has clear Florida Title and I will require a $250 down payment within 24 hours of auction end.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or pickup although I will help coordinate from my end with any shipper. Car is sold with no warranty or guarantee.  Feel free to email me any questions and PLEASE serious bidders only.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Jaguar F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show

Mon, Mar 26 2018

It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."

Jaguar Land Rover to upgrade Castle Bromwich plant to build EVs

Fri, Jul 5 2019

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover is making a multi-million pound investment to build electric vehicles in Britain, in a major boost for the UK government and a sector hit by the slump in diesel sales and Brexit uncertainty. Britain's biggest car company, which built 30 percent of the UK's 1.5 million cars last year, will make a range of electrified vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in central England, beginning with its luxury saloon, the XJ. "The future of mobility is electric and, as a visionary British company, we are committed to making our next generation of zero-emission vehicles in the UK," Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Friday. The announcement gives a boost to Britain's automotive sector hit this year by Honda and Ford's plans to close factories. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has highlighted the dangers of a no-deal Brexit and the need to maintain frictionless trade with the European Union, echoing warnings from the industry that just-in-time production could be hit by customs delays and additional bureaucracy. But it has signed a deal with workers at the Castle Bromwich factory to go from a five-day to a four-day working week with the same amount of hours which should allow the plant to operate more efficiently. Three of JLR's four European car plants are in Britain, giving it limited capacity elsewhere on the continent. The other, in Slovakia, only opened last year and is still being ramped up with other models allocated there. "We are making this investment because the ongoing Brexit uncertainty has left us with no choice, we had to act, for our employees and our business," JLR said. "We are committed to the UK as our home and will fight to stay here but we need the right deal." Both candidates to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, have both said they are prepared to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 without a deal, although it is not their preferred option. Brexiteers have argued that the EUÂ’s biggest economy Germany, which exports hundreds of thousands of cars to Britain ever year, would do its utmost to protect that trade Friday's announcement comes after a turbulent few months for Jaguar which announced around 4,500 job cuts earlier in January and posted a 3.66 billion pound ($4.5 billion) loss in 2018/19.
