Clean 1990 Range Rover Classic - Southern Car on 2040-cars
Beaufort, South Carolina, United States
Original, unmolested 1990 Range Rover Classic. Always a southern vehicle, it was sold new in FL and has been in SC for the last dozen years or so. I bought it a couple of years ago from an employee of the original owner and it has been my wife's toy/daily around-town driver ever since. The Autocheck report shows the mileage as genuine but it estimates the number of owners incorrectly. Fairly sure I am the third owner. We've put 10,000 miles on it in two+ years.
If you're reading this, you know about these trucks. Unbeatable 4WD but quirky. This truck is nearly rust free except for the usual rear lift gate spots. Frame is perfect. 1990 predates the air suspension so no hassles there to worry about. The body is mainly aluminum and as a result has the usual dings you'd expect. The paint is original and has seen a lot of SC sun. Thin in spots but overall presentable. Four new tires in the last year with tons of life left. The power steering pump and steering box are fine - a little weeping but no leaks. I have not had to put fluid in it in over a year. Regular oil changes during our ownership. NOT using coolant and has not been overheated. Starts, runs and drives as good as it gets for an old Range Rover. The AC worked last summer but needs (at least) a recharge now. The cruise control works - pretty rare for an old Rover. The headliner is (miraculously) in near perfect condition and the sunroof does not leak. Carpets, dash plastic and woodwork are in decent shape for their age. All windows go up and down as they should and the central locking works on all five locks. Both power seats work and the leather is not in bad condition. Overall it is really clean. We're non smokers but I can't promise you my yellow lab has not shed some hair in the back! Put your canoe or kayak on the roof, stuff it with gear and go anywhere. You can't kill this one. We're moving and can't take this with us. Wish I had the space, it has been a fun vehicle. Feel free to call Eric with questions. (843) 321-1648. Thanks! |

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
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.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
