1995 Range Rover County LWB

Overview:

The wait is over!  Many of you have asked and I am finally pleased to deliver this 1995 LWB in stunning Alpine White on Bahama Beige.  This vehicle comes to me from a long-time client in San Diego.  It was primarily used as their summer family vehicle when out here for the season from Arizona.  It has been meticulously maintained over the years and what I have to present now is the result of exhaustive maintenance.  Whatever your intention is for this ONE YEAR ONLY vintage, it will be sure to serve you for many enjoyable years to come.

Operation and Aesthetics:

For many, the 95 LWB is the crowning achievement to the Range Rover Classic line.  It has all of the upgrades and  refinements of 25 years worth of development and yet, in true Range Rover form, it embraces new innovation and design while exhibiting all of its heritage in one coherent work.  This vehicle is a PROUD representative of that lineage with its full service profile and alluring cosmetic integrity.

This vehicle fires right up and the fully serviced 4.2L V8 roars to life.  It idles perfectly and with a slight step on the accelerator you are off in a flash.  This truck surges onto the motorways with TOTAL CONFIDENCE with no hesitation, rattles, or wanderings of any kind.  The Old Man Emu Springs provide an extremely plush ride while the Bilstien Shock Absorbers unleash the European sport-touring nature of the Range Rover via crisp and decisive handling.  The transmission is smooth with no winding and the shift quality is excellent in all gear ranges.

All power options work as they should, seats, windows, mirrors, lights, sunroof, safety MFCU’s, and all.  The AC works brilliantly and the heat is perfect without any offending coolant smells inside the cabin.  That said, this is also A NON SMOKER VEHICLE and with its recent upholstery renewals and professional detail, she still smells like a new car.

This vehicle is a blast to drive for many reasons.  It performs as you would expect from a vehicle of this caliber and all of the distinctive features of this one year only model are in excellent condition.  Its an interesting point to make here:  The Range Rovers have ALWAYS influenced the rest of the Land Rover Line.  For example, the ladder chassis and suspension would eventually become the platform for the discovery.  In 2003 – with the launch of the MKIII Full Size Range Rover – Discovery 2’s were still on the showroom floor.  The 03/04 D2’s were given the same aggressive headlamp style that can be found on Range Rovers even to this day.  But to my original point:  The 95 RRC’s were truly special because for the 1st and ONLY time in its history, the Range Rover received styling inspiration from the Land Rover Discovery.  Known as the “Soft-Dash,” The impressive in cabin appearance owes much to the Discovery’s own Soft-Dash design as it too was introduced at that time with the Range Rover.  Additionally, it is the ONLY RANGE ROVER CLASSIC to offer driver and passenger SRS airbags.  Lastly and perhaps most interestingly, this year the company transformed from “Range Rover of North America,” as it was known up until that moment, into “Land Rover of North America.”  1995 was a milestone in Range Rover history and will always serve as an investment point for collectors.

Body, Chassis & Coachwork:

Overall this vehicle is a total pleasure to look at.  The TRW wheels offered in 1995 are in excellent shape and add to this trucks impressive appearance.  The legendary Soft-Dash is in equally tidy shape with no gouges, rips or curl. The chrome appointments are in pristine order and even the front bumpers push-pads are intact (they are almost always missing).  The rugs and mats are clean and soft as is the original leather.  The front seats are in astonishingly good condition and display what happens to quality materials when cared for appropriately. 

Note the highlighted pictures of the door sills, upper tailgate corner, hinges and jambs.  These are all critical areas for corrosion on the Range Rover Classics and they are present here in near perfect condition.   

The vehicle is proudly drip free and you should consider it nice driveway safe! 

The paint is touchably smooth and as pictured, polishes up great.  Like most older Californians who have spent a life in the sun, you will see expected wear and tear for the age but as this truck is still all original without any cosmetic surgery, she can still wow the camera and the fans at red carpet appearances!

To recap, this is a straight, original, rot free, clean and comfortable Range Rover that you would be otherwise proud to own.

A Word on EAS:

Air suspension. Perhaps the most widely debated topic in Range Rover history.  Some love it.  Some hate it.  Some vouch for reliability. Some curse its introduction to an already amazing suspension system.  Personally, I love it.  The purist in me enjoys the feature when working correctly.  Simultaneously, Coil Springs and NOT EAS was original to the Classic.  And I love it too.  So what to do with this truck?  It has the TOP OF THE LINE Coil Spring and Shock replacement parts on it and the ride quality is amazing.  I have personally evaluated the EAS system and it is intact and functional.  All you would need to do to restore the EAS system is fit a set of air coils all the way around.  So why haven’t I?  The vast majority of you have asked for a 95 LWB with coil springs… and here it is with the best available.  I personally do not see the hurry to run back to EAS just for arguments sake.  The system is operational and ready to be retro fit if/when you decide necessary.  For this vehicle, I do feel that she is perfect just the way she is.

Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:

No one puts a Range Rover Classic together better than me, PERIOD.  It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE.  Nearly two decades of Classic ownership and service are poured into every Classic (and 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 Classic 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.

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.  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.

Finally, people always ask me who I think a particular vehicle is for.  This truck has potential for so many… It’s the ideal candidate for someone who has been looking for their first taste of a 95.  Its clean, functional, reliable, and gorgeous.  It can make an excellent daily driver.  A first car.  A summer guest vehicle.  A build platform for an overland luxury concept truck.  The 95’s were distinctive all the way.  And if you are looking for 95’s only, then no doubt you have a specific need.  Whatever it may be, this vehicle is up to the task and will make its new owner proud.  Summer time is coming – and this vehicle is ready to be an essential component to your itinerary… whatever and wherever that may be!  Best of luck and Happy Rovering!Pic 1

Watch thieves dressed like ninjas hit dealership, steal $583,000 worth of Land Rovers

Fri, Feb 23 2024

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said. Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee. The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door. Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole. “Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV. The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said. One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said. Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.” Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects. Six of the nine stolen vehicles have been recovered — four in Chicago, one in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, and one in Wisconsin after the highway crash that led to the 17-year-old's arrest, he said.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers

Fri, Jun 24 2016

It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
