One of One!

Introduction:

If you have been looking for an exceptionally clean, impossibly rare, fully serviced, fully loaded Land Rover Discovery; your truck has just shown up!  I could not believe it when I got my hands on her, but this vehicle is part of a rare class of trucks reportedly built at Land Rover’s only facility outside of England.  There are just a hand-full of these European optioned, North American Spec vehicles out there and having confirmed it personally with LRNA as well as a few other national data-bases, this truck is the ONLY CONISTON GREEN EURO NAS TRUCK IN NORTH AMERICA.  Take a good look folks, this example is more than just an awesome truck, it is a true piece of Land Rover history.

Service and Reliability:

Service and reliability come first with me always.  There isn’t anyone else out there like me offering restored vintage Land Rovers… I own them, collect them and love them too.  I race them professionally.  I spend countless man hours making sure they are as ready to go as possible and my work has been featured in Land Rover Owner international & Land Rover World magazines.  Here are the service highlights for this amazing truck, GENUINE parts ALWAYS FIT: 

  1. Complete 3 angle valve job and head gasket service including: cooling system fluid flush and renewal, head gasket renewal, head stretch bolt renewal, intake resealed, valve covers resealed,  throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil and filter renewed.

Styling and Options:

If you have been following me on eBay, then you know I am never really at a loss for where to begin my descriptions on a Land Rover vehicle.  This truck has stopped me DEAD in my tracks!  I’ve got to say, like most of you probably are, I am blown away first by the color. “Coniston Green” was a color reserved for the premier launch of the first Land Rover Discovery’s and never to be seen again. To have this celebrated factory color on a Discovery Series II is something truly to brag about.  The paint is EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH to the touch and as pictured, I have tried to show it in a variety of lighting compositions to showcase how rich of a color it is.  In blistering sun, it resembles a military green. As the lighting shifts, the cool blue hues transform the color to a deep forest green.  Sunset actually makes the color of the truck appear blue; and then black.  As I have said, I have personally confirmed it to be the only one here in the U.S.A. so if you have been looking for the unique Rover to have, this is it! 

The Light-Stone leather is velvety smooth with all seating surfaces clean and soft and rich.  All power seats work, as do the split folding benches and rear jump seats.  The carpeting pile is still soft and the armrest velour on the door-cards are virtually wear free!  You always see a driver’s left elbow print on the driver’s door-card – not to be found here! The headliner is brand new and the GENUINE rubber floor mats in front, rear, and cargo are in EXCELLENT condition.

It smells like a brand-new car inside!

Want something to truly blow away any other Land Rover out there? How about having a European instrument cluster with all warning symbols as their European counterpart!  Got speed?  Well driving around a truck with a cluster in KM/H will make any short drive appear more spirited.  Let’s say you’re cruising around at 50mph but you look down and the needle is pointing at “80;” there is an instantaneous link with this truck having come from Europe.  Yes, all Land Rovers are European vehicles. This one is PURE! The digital odometer display is calibrated in miles, so no worry there when it comes time to register your vehicle.

The 18” Pro-Line style wheels are in excellent shape and all bumpers, bull-bars, lights, etc are as perfect as you would hope to find.

As this has been a California Car since 10K miles on, it is wonderfully rust, rot and corrosion free!

Performance and Operation:

She’s more than just looks!  With its low miles and full service package this vehicle is a BLAST to drive!  The engine has tons of power and launches off the line with total confidence. It does not overheat, tick, knock, rattle, stumble or hesitate at all.  Toggle the selectable sport mode and you charge onto the motorways without ever needing to see what’s coming behind you.  She is brilliantly quiet out in the open and does not shimmy or wander at all.  It is one of the few D2’s out there that still retains its rail-road like ride.  She EASLIY cruises at 100mph and can most certainly go beyond.

The Active Cornering Enhancement system works great. This innovation eliminates virtually all body roll from the vehicle. For example, I test all ACE vehicles on a nice long looping freeway interchange at high speed.  The body is PLANTED and the steering sticks as would a higher end sports-car.  She also passes my Mulholland Drive test…. A fabled twisty stretch of roadway here where one mistake means disaster. Pushed to its limits, this truck makes even a harrowing drive like that feel like a walk in the park.  Take an ACE vehicle off-road and you have total control and articulation over severe terrain where you would otherwise see vehicles being tossed from side to side.

The AC is great, and so is the heat.  This was always a non smoker truck so you don’t have to worry about anything flying out of the vents including stale air!  All auto lock doors, windows, sunroofs and power options work great.  The loadspace area is clean, the retractable cover is intact and in perfect working order, it is equipped with rear audio entertainment on both sides and all jump seat parcel shelves, handles and anchors are excellent.

Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:

No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD.  It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE.  Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands. 

 All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else.  Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle.  Beware of any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks.  They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Classic without these services are ticking time bombs.  I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic.  I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval.  I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept:  DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY?  WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT?  The answer is always yes.  And that’s when I know they are ready.  I care.  I know you do, too.

Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet.  They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it!  The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership.  Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed.  I have A LOT of copy-cats out there.  If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to “cut-n-paste” my listings!!!

While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune to future service needs and flaws.  They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old.  Case in point for this vehicle in particular, the ONLY wear that I can find on it are on the outer lower driver’s seat bolster where there is a typical wear crack to the material and on the drivers and passenger door, where there is a minimal parking lot variety pencil line scratch and dent.  I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW!  There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here.  Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON.  Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION.  Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such.  There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time.

This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win!  Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay.  This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle.  Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment.  The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it.  Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding.  Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.

Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward.  Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition.

Who is this truck for:

Good question! First, it’s for anyone looking for a quality Land Rover that is as distinctive as it is reliable. It can be a great daily driver, family car, weekender, guest vehicle and beyond. The deeper you look into this truck, I am certain that it will attract the attention of the collector and the Rover enthusiast crowd.  THIS IS THE ONLY ONE HERE!!!! If my instincts are correct, I have a feeling it will come down to a few fella’s who see this as the ultimate platform for an “Event Truck.”  Its rare. Its clean. Its everything to incite the envy of your Rover buddies.  And now, put a tasteful lift on it. Lights. An SD roof rack. A color matched slim-line winch bumper.  And all of a sudden you have something in your hands distinctive and capable the world over.  I imagine this truck battling through the deep greens and muddied tracks of the south… or climbing out of Hell’s revenge in Utah… against the red slick rock and clear blue sky.  This truck has SO MUCH potential its crazy.  However, what it always comes down to is this: What’s your vision and what will you do with this amazing one of a kind truck?  Happy Rovering!

Land Rover will put a Covid-nuking air filtration system in future cars

Tue, Mar 16 2021

Jaguar - Land Rover (JLR) is developing an air filtration system that inhibits up to 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria. Designed like a face mask for your car's HVAC system, it's built on Panasonic's Nanoe X technology. Most of the company's models (including the Land Rover Defender) currently come equipped with Panasonic's Nanoe technology and PM2.5 filtration. Nanoe X is 10 times more effective, according to the brand, because it relies on a high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enveloped in nano-sized water molecules. Think of them as Roman guards in front of a fortress: they keep the bad out, and ensure only the good can come in. Viruses and bacteria proteins are denatured when they come into contact with the filtration system, meaning they can't reproduce or grow. The OH radicals also zap common allergens and mold, but they're harmless to humans. JLR stressed it's not relying on computer simulations to decide whether its filtration system works as designed. It asked British laboratory Perfectus Biomed to perform a test that simulates a ventilation system in recirculation mode for a 30-minute cycle in a sealed chamber. The results were encouraging: 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria were nuked. The carmaker pointed out Panasonic's Nanoe X technology has been independently proven to inhibit 99.995% of coronaviruses during a two-hour laboratory test carried out by French immunology lab Texcell. Future models from Jaguar and Land Rover will use this technology, though a representative for both companies declined to tell us when it will reach production, and which nameplate(s) will inaugurate it. Meanwhile, Honda launched its own coronavirus killer across the pond. It's a cabin air filter sold as a genuine replacement part that consists of four layers, including one coated with an active substance of fruit extract that inactivates nearly 100% of the viral aerosols it captures. It's available in Europe through Honda dealers, but it won't be sold in America. Jaguar Land Rover

Land Rover planning SVX hardcore off-roaders

Sun, May 3 2015

The new Special Vehicle Operations division at Jaguar Land Rover has already given us an array of ultimate wheeled creations, but it isn't quite done yet. Next, according to Car and Driver, will be a new line of SVX models. Not to be confused with the Subaru coupe from the 1990s (which also had all-wheel drive, come to think of it), Land Rover's SVX models will be hardcore off-roaders. Details are few and far between at the moment, but they're said to take inspiration from rough-terrain events like the Dakar Rally and Camel Trophy as inspiration – different from the Ford F-150 Raptor that takes its cues from the Baja 1000. Last we heard, Land Rover was planning a hardcore Defender to send the model off to pasture in high-performance style, and considering an extreme Range Rover as well. If either of those rumors materialize, they look like they'd be prime candidates for the SVX line. JLR Special Vehicle Operations has already showcased what it can do with the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR, the luxed-up Range Rover SVAutobiography, the exclusive F-Type Project 7 and the continuation classic Lightweight E-Type. C/D confirms that further SVR models are in store to replace Jaguar's R-S performance models, while the SVX line would likely remain exclusive to Land Rover.

Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection

Mon, Feb 19 2018

A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.
