THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this classic 1995 Land Rover Discovery W/RARE 5 Speed! 
Finished in Alpine white over tan leather, this Rover shows just under 69,000 actual miles on its working six-digit odometer. It sports the 3.9 liter V8 engine mated to the RARE 5 speed manual transmission!  It has electric windows and DUAL ELECTRIC GLASS MOON ROOFS, SEVEN PASSENGER SEATING, original stereo, cruise control, high/low shifter, tow hitch electric leather seating and factory alloy wheels with Michelin tires. It is being sold with clear and clean California title!I have many more photos and a video of the Rover running but Ebay seems to not allow posting of the links which I can email upon request. This is a great find here on Ebay for less than the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating Rover Evoque!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this Disco is in good to very good,  quite presentable condition overall with a few blemishes including: missing rear light guards, some corrosion areas in a couple of the door jam corners, cracking on the rubber, some brush touched up paint nicks, imperfect paint on the front valance grill panel and miscellaneous scuffs.

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Rover is  also in "GOOD" condition overall. It sports electric leather seating, the dual electric glass sunroofs, electric windows all working, nice factory rubber floor mats and the groovy little fold down third row seats with belts too, very nice clean and not sagging headliner, clean crack-free dash, nice original carpets with light wear only! Known imperfections inside this car include some wear on the leather especially on the driver seat, radio inop, hazard switch dangling, rear hatch door speaker grill banged up, ABS light illuminated on dash and a/c not working.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Rover starts and runs fairly well with solid acceleration and mid range torque from the V8 engine and 5 speed stick shift combination. The transmission up and downshifts well [second gear grinds under enthusiastic shifting, the braking is straight and true with good/slightly soft pedal feel and the suspension is solid with a great highway ride! The catalytic converter is rattling underneath but does not seem to affect any performance. I have not tried to engage the low range shifter since I have owned it. The steering feels aloof and a bit"unPorsche-like".

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents

Tue, Dec 22 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar.  Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.
