1989 V12 Roadster All Original Garage Find ( Found In My Garage! ) Low Miles on 2040-cars
Lincolnwood, Illinois, United States
|
I bought this car in 1992 to use as a summer second car. I drove it on nice days until about 1996 when the company I worked for sent me to the east coast for " about six months". Six months turned into nearly three years of almost constant work. When I finally left them and got back to Chicago life got in the way for several more years; all the while the car was stored in a private storage facility in Chicago where it was started regularly. Then 10 years ago last month I moved it to my house/garage located right outside Chicago. It has been there ever since, raised up slightly to take the weight off the wheels and axles. It has not been started in ten years. I have been saving it as a fun car to drive again but I am moving back into the city and can no longer store it, so it has to go.
I hooked it up to my truck battery and everything works (power antenna got a little bent but works). The motor turns over with the starter but I have not tried to start it, and I will not attempt to so please don't ask.To eliminate the risk of damage I think that at the very least the gas tank and fuel injection needs to cleaned, and lubrication forced in the top end. I am selling this as a non running project vehicle with clear Illinois title in my name. Only 31,690 true miles. I believe I am the second owner and that it has never been in the snow since new. In fact I can only remember getting caught with it in the rain twice. Very clean rust-free body. The top and interior are very nice, no tears or sun fade. It has a very nice Nardi wood steering wheel. The wheels are in great shape. Pirelli P600 tires are in great shape condition-wise and hold air well, but they are past the age of use. The paint is original and looks good from 10 feet away. There are numerous light scratches all over the car from storage. Many could be removed or minimized by a good buffing, but some will remain. The chrome has some light pitting, especially the center of the front bumper and grille. I counted about six very small dings around the car. Additionally, there is a small dent in the lower right front fender panel panel right behind the front wheel, and there is a crease on that side in the lower rear panel behind the rear wheel (see pic). Lastly, it looks like the driver door lower area has been repainted; I suspect to fix a door ding. Sold as-is with absolutely no warranties or guarantees. I have done my best to accurately describe my car, Should you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask. Please do so before bidding. If you are local I encourage you to come inspect the car in person. Cash or certified funds cleared before I release car or title. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will do my best to assist, but you must make arrangements and payment. Thanks for looking! |

Land Rover planning SVX hardcore off-roaders
Sun, May 3 2015The 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 Land Rover planning to allow owners to earn cryptocurrency
Mon, Apr 29 2019Jaguar Land Rover, Britain's largest auto manufacturer, said on Monday it is testing software that will allow drivers of its cars to earn the IOTA cryptocurrency as a reward for sharing data. The company is developing what it calls "smart wallet" technology to be installed in its automobiles. This would reward Jaguar car drivers with IOTA coins for actions such as enabling their vehicles to automatically report useful data, such as traffic congestion or potholes to navigation providers or local authorities. Drivers could also earn rewards if the car participates in a ride-sharing program, Jaguar said. The tokens earned could be used to pay for tolls, parking and charging for electric cars. The overall goal was to "achieve zero emissions, zero accidents, and zero congestion," the company said. Global car companies are exploring blockchain applications, figuring out different ways in which they can leverage the technology to suit their different needs. Blockchain, the system powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is a shared database that is maintained by a network of computers connected to the internet. The British car company is testing the technology at the new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering base in Shannon, Ireland, where engineers have already equipped several vehicles, including the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover Velar, with "smart wallet" features, the company said. It does not yet have a timetable for when it will be commercially available, said Jaguar, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The IOTA token is based on a distributed ledger technology that enables people and machines to transfer money and data without any transaction fees. IOTA trades on digital asset exchanges and was last at 27 U.S. cents per token. "The smart wallet technology ... can be easily adapted into all new vehicles," Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder and co-chairman of its board, told Reuters on Friday. "IOTA wants to enable interoperability with all these different players. So there is no Jaguar coin, no BMW coin, but one universal token for this machine economy," he added.
