This THE color combination!!!! Oxford Blue on Lightstone (cream) interior. There are two quintessential British color combos: British Racing Green on Tan and Navy Blue on Cream. THIS is it.

If you have been looking for a beautiful, serviced, wonderful driving Discovery, wait no longer! This is the Rover you have been looking for and I'm
incredibly proud to end your search with this WONDERFUL Disco!
Background: Let me begin with a little background. This truck was shipped over here in May of 1998 as some of the of the later 1998 Discovery to come to the US. It was ordered in a BEAUTIFUL color and option package. To begin with, this is a highly sought after and rare LE model. The LE model and this specific truck were optioned and were graced with trim such as chrome bumpers, LE badging and the highly sought after Boost wheels, chrome door trim and stainless steel door handles. The LE was given a beautiful interior make over with Lightstone seats, leather wrapped gear selector, wood accents, full wood center console, leather covered cubby lid, tri-color door panels with Lightstone leather edged map pockets and chrome "Land Rover" embossed door sills. The LE was one of the top of the line trim packages!. The Condition and Service: This truck has been ENTHUSIASTICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY maintained and serviced and is a high standard for Rover service! Let's start on the engine and drivetrain: This engine has LOW MILES (less than 9,000 a year), it was owned by a wonderful little family before I bought the truck from a client. Only 129,000 miles appear on the odometer and the entire truck shows the same care. There has been A TON of scheduled and preventive maintenance performed to this truck to keep in near brand new condition. The engine is very healthy and has loads of smooth power! -HEAD GASKETS As part of the preventive service schedule, this truck received brand new OEM head gaskets and OEM headbolts. It was installed by a master Rover tech with several decades of experience. The truck runs COOL as can be and has never overheated. -UPPER AND LOWER ENGINE GASKETS While being serviced, the valve cover gaskets, valley pan gaskets, valve stem seals, upper intake gaskets and crank seal, all resealed among a few other minor seals. NONE of these were leaking, but were done in order to keep with the same high regard and care. -WATER PUMP The truck received a brand new OEM water pump as part of the total servicing -RADIATOR The radiator was cleaned and rodded in order to keep maximum flow and keep this beauty nice and cool. The temp needle NEVER moves past 7/8pm even with the AC on and in traffic. -HOSES New OEM hoses -IGNITION Brand new Champion coppers (the RIGHT plugs) and wires. -EMERGENCY BRAKE Recently adjusted and tight, only a couple notches on the handle holds the truck tight -TRANSMISSION The trans was just given all new fluid and shifts great! -DIFFS and DRIVESHAFTS New gear oil in the diffs and lubricated u-joints -SWIVEL BALLS Fresh grease, serviced and shims Lets move to the suspension and brakes: -BRAKES Brand new OEM brake pad sin the front and rear -loads of pad life! The truck brakes great. No ABS lights! -SHOCKS Great feeling OEM shocks. They are soft on bumps and tight in corners. The trucks handles wonderfully! -STEERING The steering is tight and so direct and has no excess play as you may find in MANY Discoveries. Let's continue to the exterior: -PAINT The paint is very nice! It is a 8.5+/9 out of 10 easily. There is only minor signs that this truck was ever outside. There is a minor ding in the drivers side door and very minor scratches that are well below any expectation level for Discoveries or cars of this year. -WHEELS The wheels are in great shape with no major flaws or curbing. The Boosts look fantastic on the truck! -BRUSH GUARD This truck was optioned with the OEM chrome brush guard and is in great shape! It compliments the chrome bumpers wonderfully and shines bright! -OEM SAFARI LIGHTS Mounted on the brush guard are the VERY sought after FACTORY safari fog lights! These have the glass guards and look awesome! -GLASS Not to let a pebble defeat this truck, the windshield is great shape! -TRAILER HITCH The Disco has a factory trailer hitch and is wired up and ready to tow. -MUD FLAPS Discovery are notorious for missing mudflaps. Take a look next time you see one - the massive majority are missing at least one. This can be from the rubber drying out or from off-roading. This beautiful truck has all 4 and they are in great shape! Onto the cabin: -SEATS The Lightstone seats are fantastic. There is NO cracking, NO tears, NO seams coming apart. They are incredibly supportive with what feels like zero foam wear. -DOOR PANELS One of the big things with Discos is the top of the drivers side door panel gets cracked...not this one! All of the panels are free of dents or defects. -HEADLINER Another Disco trait is for the headliner to begin to sag as the OEM glue ages. This truck's glue found a similar fate with just a hint of a sag, so rather than let it come down the truck just received a BRAND NEW OEM color headliner. And without the OEM glue to go bad this will last a lifetime. -POWER SEATS All power seat functions work perfect! Hard to find in a Discovery! -SEAT HEATERS Dual front seat heaters work! A RARE find for a D1 Discovery!! -POWER LOCKS All doors lock and unlock with central locking function. The keyless entry unlocks and locks all doors and arms the alarm. Once and while the driver's side door requires the key to be uses and the lock sticks a little sometimes. It is a pretty normal Discovery thing and does not affect door function - doors close nice! -RADIO/CD CHANGER Alpine aftermarket radio works great and has CD, USB and Radio functions. -AC/HEAT AC is ice cold and Heat is earth core hot! -MIRRORS Power mirrors work perfectly! -WOOD Very nice wood on the console, doors and dash! The finish is great and the stain is smooth -STEERING WHEEL The leather is very nice! -MISCELLANEOUS The OEM roof rack bars are in their bag under the seats and the original jack and ramp are are the hood The Experience Driving this Discovery is fantastic. It is Lexus quiet inside, pulls and handles like a sports car and is as comfortable as a Rolls Royce. I hope you can tell by my long ad that this truck is a great pre-owned and beautiful Land Rover. It's tax season, treat yourself to this truck, that you will not have to dump TONS of money into in this NO RESERVE AUCTION! There is well over $5k in recent scheduled and preventive service alone in this truck so you are ready to go another 100k+++ of care free miles. Don't buy an unserviced truck for a little less than spend 3 times as much to get it to this level of service! Feel free to ask me any questions at all. Residents around the country I am happy to be flexible for your arranged shipper so that you can get your new truck as soon as possible. My standard disclaimer/mantra for any car regardless of service or price: The truck is sold with no warranty. You are buying a used car. Eventually every car will break, if you find one that doesn't please let me know. I do my ABSOLUTE BEST to offer only cars that are of TOP NOTCH service. I am not a dealer, just a guy who loves Rovers (among other cars) and hope to pass along my passion and fervor for these trucks. That said if ever you encounter an issue I do my best to provide advice, direction or even parts if I have them. Please understand that it is a used car and will have minor signs of use. That said, this truck is above average! Please only bid if you intend to buy. Sorry to have to give the boring speech. Happy Rover-trails!!!! |

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO
Tue, Jul 28 2020LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit
Fri, Jan 29 2021BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.
