I am selling my 1997 Land Rover Discovery. Has a 300 tdi Land Rover turbo diesel engine with automatic transmission and LT230 transfer case. When converted to diesel the engine and all diesel equipment came from a real factory Land Rover Discovery diesel, so it doesn't look cobbled together under the hood- looks ''factory clean".
Runs great, drives, stops perfectly. The truck has 149K miles but the engine has only 98K miles--nothing for these robust diesels. A/C, power windows, stereo with satellite radio all in good working order. Has a tow package, 2 rear jump seats, nice tint on the windows, and this is a non-sunroof model, so you don't have to worry about them inevitably leaking! Best of all, it gets 25 mpg in town and 30 or better on the freeway.
The interior is very clean and tidy in this truck - Dash has no cracks, headliner appears to have been redone, all windows work, and the overall impression is very nice. At this moment, the great-looking seats are not hooked up to power though, so can not be adjusted. I am looking for the correct non-power seats however for the new buyer.
Exterior looks very nice too, but there are patches where the clear coat has begun to fail on the roof. It is difficult to see unless you get up high on a ladder, but you should be aware of it. It also looks like the roof rubbed against something in the past at sometime and made a scratch mark on the roof up near a window, again very hard to see and may even buff out.
Brakes work great, and this truck can be driven anywhere now, as it sits! I would even recommend a road trip home in the truck to 'discover' how great of mileage you can get in a Land Rover. This would also make a terrific off-road truck with gobs of torque. I enjoy it on the freeway now too and it would make an ideal daily-driver.
By bidding on this Discovery, you agree to the terms of my auction. The rules are pretty simple, you agree that you have read the entirety of my ad and understand what I have written. If you are the winning bidder, I expect a $500 deposit by paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction. I will require the balance to be paid within 7 days at the most by cash-in-hand, check, bank transfer/ deposit / etc. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I can hold the truck here for a reasonable amount of time if you want to come collect it in person or have a transport company pick it up. Speaking of transport, transportation will be the sole responsibility of the buyer (you). I can provide a pone # of a transport company that has great rates and seems to pick up most of the cars we sell, but you must contact them and arrange for the truck to be collected, and of course you are responsible for paying them.
In short, this is a great-looking, perfectly-operating and driving RARE correct Land Rover Discovery turbo-diesel conversion. The automatics are more difficult to find, and the job has been done right! Please message me or call with any questions.

Jaguar likely moving HQ to Britain's most iconic racetrack
Fri, Feb 26 2016Jaguar Land Rover looks increasingly likely to make Britain's iconic Silverstone race track the automaker's new headquarters. There isn't a final deal in place yet, but the British Racing Drivers' Club, which owns the circuit, plans to have the membership vote on whether the negotiations should move forward, according to Autosport. BRDC leaders already presented the plan to members, and they were open to the idea. "The response was favorable so we will now set up an EGM for the members to vote and give the board a mandate to proceed with the deal and continue with the negotiations with JLR," BRDC president Derek Warwick told Autosport. There's no guarantee yet that JLR actually completes the deal. "There's still a lot of work to do to get the deal to where both sides are happy and more importantly what's right for the BRDC and its members." Warwick said. Rumors in early December suggested JLR was among the firms submitting bids to purchase the track, and the automaker allegedly offered 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at the time) for it. The company would also reportedly invest nearly $80 million to renovate the site, including adding a museum, experience center, hotel, and offices. The track would still be open for motorsport, too. Silverstone has hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix many times over the decades, and organizers signed a 17-year deal in 2009 to keep things that way well into the future. Series like the FIA World Endurance Championship, MotoGP, and British Touring Car Championship also compete there. Related Video:
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

Jaguar models could rev with inline-six engines again
Tue, Apr 19 2016Rumors are swirling once again that Jaguar might return an inline-six engine to its lineup. Autocar claims Jaguar Land Rover will use the modular Ingenium engine family to create a 3.0-liter straight-six. The new motor will replace the automaker's current V6. As with the Ingenium 2.0-liter four-cylinder, JLR will likely offer the powerplant in gasoline- and diesel-fueled versions. A rumor in May 2015 also suggested JLR would create an Ingenium-based turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. According to Autocar, the engine bay in the XE, XF, and F-Pace can already fit the longer engine. The automaker isn't talking, though. "We can't comment on future product one way or another," company spokesperson Nathan Hoyt told Autoblog. Jaguar built much of its performance legacy with straight-six-powered vehicles. While the C-Type and D-Type were winning races with the engine layout, practically every Jaguar production model used them as well. Today, straight-sixes are less common. BMW continues to use them, and Mercedes-Benz reportedly also plans to offer one soon. While Autocar's report is still just a rumor, the move to an inline-six could be advantageous for JLR. For example, using an Ingenium-derived design could simplify manufacturing by allowing the company to build the powerplant in one factory alongside the 2.0-liter version. Returning to a design with such an important heritage for Jaguar would also make life easy for the brand's marketing team because it could link the new engine to past racing glory. Related Video:
