Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Vehicle is going through full restoration, and has been approximately 90% completed. The body needs to be bolted, the exhaust needs a section repaired, lights/wiring needs to be finished, front seats need to be upholstered and the rear seats have a couple spots that need to be repaired, fuel tank needs to be installed, needs new clutch master/slave cylinder, rear door panel needed, brake calipers need to be installed, headliner needs to be installed"

This is my personal D90 I have been restoring. It is being built from the frame up and is about 90% done. Will be a great truck for someone willing to put in that last bit of work.

Chassis:

It has a galvanized chassis(D90 300 Tdi spec), 2" Terrafirma suspension and steering damper, 24 spline axles with disc brakes, power brakes, power steering, genuine Boost alloy wheels(5), 255/85R16E(33.3x10"10 Ply) BFG MT KM2's(5), 300 Tdi 4 cylinder direct injected inter-cooled and turbocharged diesel engine(up to 28mpg in a D90), R380 56A suffix J 5 speed manual transmission, LT230 2 speed transfer case with factory cross drilled input shaft.

Body:

It has a D90 Station Wagon body; it's solid, only a few spots of surface corrosion noted in the pics; it has and inexpensive flat black paint job, I like it, but if you're looking for a factory paint job it will need to be painted; full frame front doors with wind up windows, push button handles, D90 door panels; full frame rear door with heated rear window, washer and wiper, spare mount, but no rear door panel; both solid and folding front windshield hinges; alloy roof and sides with lockable sliding glass windows; full LeSalle molded fiber glass headliner front and rear with section for stereo and speakers; silver grill and facia; front bucket seats; center console/cubby box/arm rest and a UK center front seat(either can be fitted); all front seats need upholstery; 4 rear jump seats; lap and shoulder belts for the front bucket seats, lap belts for all the rest; factory insulation under the hood, on the firewall, and under the transmission tunnel;

What I know is needed:

Finish bolting the body together; finish hooking up the lights/wiring; repair section of exhaust and install it; either the clutch master or slave cylinder needs to be replaced; I was also going to replace the head gasket, manifold gasket, and timing belt just to be safe;

I have almost 200 pictures of the full restoration process as well, so let me know if you'd like to see more, or if you'd like to come see it. It has basically everything, just "some assembly required."

It is sold As-Is, with no warranty. It is also listed for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer responsible for shipping or pick up. $1,000 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder due within 7 days. Feel free to ask any questions, or make an appointment to check it out, but please don't bid unless you are going to buy it. Thanks!

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.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR

Fri, Jun 5 2015

As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
