*****************************************RANGE ROVER FLM PANELCRAFT REPLICA LEFT HAND DRIVE***************************************
If you're like me and you LOVE the style, history and legacy of the Range Rover MKI, then you will no doubt appreciate this rare FLM PanelCraft Range Rover which has all of the distinction you could ever ask for in a vehicle-theres nothing like it in the USA-guarteed to turn heads. This remains today the only car to ever be featured in the Louvre in Paris. This Land Rover is an excellent entry into the Collector Car Market and Land Rover Collector Car Market as well. If you attend Land Rover Rallies you will be the only one with a car like this. This exact car has many online followers here in the US and the UK.
What a journey I have had with this car. It has been a real labor of love and I feel it shows in the detailed parts selection, research and care in building it. I truly love this car and it has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive. I have enjoyed the countless people giving me the thumbs up, other Land Rover enthusiasts tracking me down for questions about this Range Rover and those who want to have their picture taken with it, yes there have been a few. As mentioned before, their are followers of this car through Facebook and the Range-Rover-Classic dot com website as a true one of a kind car. So with heavy heart Im offering this one of a kind FLM PanelCraft Range Rover for sale.
This vehicle is an absolute pleasure to drive. I built it that way. I have three children and needed it to be reliable, steady and safe. It is a great daily driver and has a completely rebuilt, reliable, smooth Land Rover V-8 with only 4,000 miles on it. I sourced all internal and external motor parts from both Atlantic British Limited and Rovers North so all parts are correct and better than original. This entire project was done with care and It all started with purchasing a 88 SWB Range Rover Classic bodied car.
Its the only Range Rover with the same MKI 2-door platform, from the bolt patterns for all the refitting, to the exposed door hinges to the correct chassis length at 100". The wheel base, chassis, motor, all exterior panels are identical so it was a excellent platform in which to start. Immediately after taking delivery, I first completely disassembled the car, searched for parts, sourced records, researched parts and information followed by the acquisition of all the parts and finally rebuilt it.
I have identified just about all of the facts regarding improvements made but I am happy to answer any questions that you may have as well.
I am confident that this vehicle will serve you no matter what your plans are for it and it is one of a kind, it will do so with all of the distinction and performance that no other Range Rover has! It has been a part of my family and we all will greatly miss it, but its time for someone else to enjoy it and continue its legacy.

Immediately after taking delivery, I first completely disassembled the car, searched for parts, sourced records, researched parts and information followed by the acquisition of all the parts and finally rebuilt it.
2-Door Range Rovers are the original and it wasn't until Late July 1981 that they started making them in 4-door with the same wheel base. Through researching "The Range Rover" by James Taylor, I discovered that you could get the car converted to 4-door by various coach builders, like FLM Panelcraft, Monverdi and Wood and Picket. I choose the FLM Panelcraft car to base my build on. Panelcraft converted the most Range Rovers and are actually the basis by which the Land Rover engineers used to build their factory 4-door Range Rover model.
I had a blast finding parts on various sites. All my period correct parts are from 1977 Range Rover 2-door's or FLM Panelcraft Conversion cars and all found from the UK, so I began on eBay dot Uk and worked my way through other UK online parts suppliers such as Holden, John Craddock and Britishparts to name a few good ones. It was a delight to recieve a new part. All parts are from UK spec 2-door Range Rover's. There are many detailed, correct parts.
I started with all 1977 or earlier (76, 75) period correct parts, mostly new old stock (NOS) parts. The first was The Rostyle Wheels, and it rolled from there. These exterior parts included: Raised metal-period correct letters- on front hood and back tailgate spelling R-A-N-G-E--R-O-V-E-R, Wingard Bonnett Mirrors (NOS), aluminum vertical slotted grill, aluminum head light surrounds, 1977 steel bumper with 'Starter motor hand crank hole', UK spec side marker lights/housing (NOS and very rare), rear steel bumper 1977, Scuttle (Range Rover) aluminum badges, exposed gas cap housing (NOS), gas cap (NOS), rear brake/turn signal lights, lenses and housing (NOS), By Land Rover aluminum Badge period correct (NOS), and the last exterior part was the extremely hard to find Drop down aluminum License plate holder. With all these parts on it looked amazing and absolutely period correct. Now for the interior.
This was interesting. Where the exterior required mostly unbolt and bolt on the new old stock parts the interior required some rewiring and thats always interesting on a British Car. While its not complete, I began with these period correct parts: The three spoke steering wheel, Radiomobile radio, Speedometer/Gas/Water Temp Binacle dash, period correct steering cover with period correct signal switches, headlight switches and wiper switches. The Binnacle was out of a salvaged car and the currently reads 78626, THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT REFLECTION OF THE MILES ON THIS CAR. This rebuilt car has 4,000 miles on it. I did not want to take apart the odometer and left it as it is. A complete new center lower dash with Oil gauge, Clock, Oil Temp gauge, and Voltage. The lower dash also included the Heater switches and period correct heater switch cover and instructional plate on how to engage the center locking differential. The interior Spare tire cover is a crazy hard to find NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) Vinyl tire cover. At this point I required a bit of research as to what to do with the power window switches and the auto selector. After painstakingly searching the web, I found a Company that used to covert manual Range Rovers to Automatic transmission (JANSPEED). I actually found the period correct gear JaneSpeed selector cover!! That was an awesome find. In regards to the power window switches, I based my box on the PanelCraft 4-door conversion that also featured power windows and made the exact same box that houses the switches. At this point, I felt it time to address the motor. For this I could rebuild it to be an efficient, reliable and fuel efficient motor.
I completely rebuilt the 3.5L; period correct, engine down to the block. The Motor has 4,000 Miles on it. For this new parts where sourced from Atlantic British and these included New: pistons, piston rods, Bearings, cam, planing the block and heads, steering pump, oil pump, water pump, timing chain, tappets, and all nuts, bolts, hoses and belts. The motors produces the original 150-155 BHP. Its extremely smooth motor and runs very nice. It currently has 4,982 miles on the new motor. I used break in oil for the proper amount of miles; 900 miles, then changed it to Conventional 10W40 and I suggest you do the same. Its a older designed motor and synthetics are- and this sounds funny- too slippery. Ive always used Amsoil in my other cars but for conventional I recommend, Castrol or Mobile. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS and in a Land Rover product that is extraordinary. When I removed the engine I used POR15 satin black To treat the interior firewall, chassis and motor compartment. POR is fantastic and is used to prohibit rust from developing.
The body is straight. The aluminum panels are rust free. The metal underneath the aluminum panels have been treated and are currently rust free.
On the chassis/suspension, I have replaced the four coil springs with New Old Stock (NOS) 2-door Range Rover coils to give the correct stance. The spring rating is a 1/4 ton. All Bushing have been replaced: The self leveling strut bushings, rear bushings, new rear panhard rod bushings, all front bushings, new panhard rod bushings front, steering linkage, new pitman arm, new lower tie rod ends, new upper tie rod end, new steering box, new steering damper and tires. These parts have 5,000 miles on them.
The Brake have been replaced in 2011 and will not need replacing. The discs, calipers and pads are new.
I have identified just about all of the facts regarding improvements made but I am happy to answer any questions that you may have as well.
I am confident that this vehicle will serve you no matter what your plans are for it and it is one of a kind, it will do so with all of the distinction and performance that no other Range Rover has! It has been a part of my family and we all will greatly miss it, but its time for someone else to enjoy it and continue its legacy.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland
Wed, Jun 8 2016Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
