1990 Range Rover Great Divide Replica Vehicle & Expedition Package

1990 Range Rover Great Divide Replica Auction
Land Rover is auctioning a restored 1990 Range Rover and an opportunity to attend the 25th anniversary Great Divide expedition.  All proceeds from the auction will benefit Tread Lightly! and its goal of promoting responsible outdoor recreation through ethics education and stewardship.  The highest bidder will purchase the vehicle and be a guest of Land Rover on a 9-day adventure across some of America’s toughest terrain in the 25th anniversary Great Divide Expedition from September 3-12, 2014.

Restoration of the 1990 Range Rover
This Range Rover rolled off the assembly line in August of 1989 as a 1990 model. It was produced in the same month that the original Great Divide Expedition was underway.  This California vehicle was originally purchased new in San Francisco.

This Range Rover was fully disassembled by factory trained Land Rover technicians and examined from front to rear.  A body-off frame restoration was completed.  A remanufactured 3.9 litre V-8 engine was fitted along with a remanufactured ZF transmission.  Axles were disassembled and checked for wear and rebuilt to factory specs.  New brake pads, rotors, calipers, ABS accumulator and pump were installed along with upgraded braided stainless steel brake hoses.  Additionally, new springs, shocks, steering damper and all suspension bushings and ball joints were added.  A new four core radiator, water pump, hoses, belts, A/C compressor and receiver drier were also added.  The above-mentioned parts were either original factory parts (where available) or were rebuilt to factory specifications.

The entire interior was removed, the monocoque painted, resealed and insulated. New carpets, headlining and interior leather were reinstalled.  The body was painted in single stage original Chamonix White with a true replica of the Great Divide graphics and decals.

The vehicle is being sold “as is” and features aftermarket expedition accessories and equipment, including a refurbished original Aussie aluminium “Range Rover” embossed winch bull bar with new Warn 8000 lb. winch and custom built expedition roof rack with 5 lights.  Original Range Rover three spoke wheels were restored with new original specification Michelin 244 M&S tires plus spare, with an additional spare mounted on the roof rack.

This is as close to a brand new 1990 Great Divide Expedition Range Rover Classic as you might ever see. As many original parts were retained as possible.  This is a truly hand restored 1990 Range Rover that is a replica of the original vehicles used on the Great Divide Expedition in August 1989.

Land Rover & Tread Lightly!
The inaugural Great Divide Expedition in the fall of 1989 helped launch Tread Lightly! as a national non-profit focused on fostering an ethic of good stewardship to proactively protect recreation access to America’s lands and waterways.  Land Rover supports responsible off-road practices as a founding partner and continued supporter of Tread Lightly!.

To commemorate this legendary journey, a fleet of Range Rover vehicles will travel nearly 1,000 miles of unpaved roads and 4x4 trails along a portion of the original Great Divide route. Throughout this expedition, participants will navigate narrow rocky trails with steep drop-offs and mountain passes over 13,000 feet (4,000 meters). Using stock 2014 Range Rover vehicles with no special modifications, Land Rover will demonstrate its continued leadership at providing off-road capability with exceptional luxury.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
