THIS VEHICLE IS TITLED AND REGISTERED IN TEXAS CURRENTLY, NOT AWAITING SHIPPING FROM THE UK - UK VIN SALLDHMV7BA238870 "Thurston" (yes, he has a name), originally began life on a hunting estate West of London, transporting the nobility from castle to field to partake in the activities that all well-to-do Englishmen do on a daily basis; polo, skeet shooting, and of course afternoon tea on the green. Since then, Thurston took a steamer West to the New World and emigrated to Texas. He was a little dated and in desperate need of a new lease on life when he arrived, but now he is in better shape than when he left the factory in Solihull. So, what's he had done? Complete new paint - Classic green with the white roof (looks even better in person!) Reupholstered entire interior All door cards upholstered and look amazing Brand new head liner Carpeting throughout sound and heat insulation panels added All leaks, drips and seeps addressed - full mechanical health and wellness work done by the number 1 Land Rover Master Technician in Texas! -new water pump -coolant flush -all oils and fluids replaced -new seals/door seals throughout the vehicle -carbs tuned and balanced -new windscreen Under sealed the bottom with bed liner as a rust preventative - frame and bulkhead are in good shape New wheels and tires No stone left unturned and I would happily drive across country in him! Drives like an absolute dream! The 3.5 V8 is very smooth all the way from idle to the top of the rev range. I would absolutely encourage a test drive, or at the least a good look around for this one off restoration. Everywhere I drive him he turns heads and starts conversations. Call Chris today! |

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As 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.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
