Introduction:
If you’ve been looking for that well-rounded D1, this is the one! I have a lot to say about this truck and I know that all of the information will be pleasing to prospective buyers. This truck is at the top of its class with an exceptionally appointed luxury package, service profile, and popular color. I am a Land Rover Master technician with my own independent shop and I pride myself on the buck stopping here with all of the nonsense associated with these cars. I have had a blast over the last 15 years owning them, servicing them and even racing them and I strive every day to share that positive experience with my clients and new customers. This truck is no different. It came to me from long-time clients who finally bought an LR4 and they didn't want to trade this in to the dealership. This truck has years of meticulous servicing and with my eyes on it before sending it to eBay, you can trust its everything you want out of a vehicle at the top of its class. Clean California title in hand.
Service Profile:
This truck was a winner to begin with but I went ahead and took care of ALL of the major service points so that it would be a reliable performer for years to come. Here’s what I just did:
Driveability, Performance & Operation:
I can’t say enough about how great this truck drives. It is a ROCKET SHIP. It handles crisp with no wobbles or wandering. The engine purs like a kitten with no ticks, rattles or knocks and when needed, it stops on a dime! It shifts like velvet without you being able to feel it and honestly, it so smooth you don’t even hear the truck running – even at 90mph on the freeway.
All multi-function control options work perfect. Windows and Sunroof’s work perfect. AC and Heat work perfect. Rear Air works perfect. The upgraded KENWOOD Audio system with integrated iPod hook-up works perfect and has AMAZING concert quality sound. The seat leather is in ASTONISHINGLY great shape – soft and new like in feel and appearance in the front, rear and even the jump seats! All plastic’s and panels are clean and unbroken, the wood is dark and overall, the interior looks great and even smells like a new car because of the new headliner and thorough detail I put it through. There are no engine light warnings of any kind and all illuminate at bulb check key position – meaning – no hidden problems because no bulbs have been pulled!!!
Who Is this car for? Anyone really. It can make a great 1st car, off-road build platform for the off-road enthusiast, an awesome family car or even a summer-home guest vehicle. Its reliable, safe, distinctive, clean, and a total pleasure to drive. She is a used truck and resembles a loved vehicle on the road for 15 years. Interior is an A+ and the exterior is an A-. The paint, as in the pictures waxes up great, but is still subject to minimal road dings and fade. The fade being localized central to the roof and hood.
Perspective:
This truck has received about $5000 of retail servicing from my own hands at the shop. As far as Rovers go, like I’ve said, I have done EVERYTHING possible to make It a reliable family car. That said, it’s still a used car and its new owner should expect to enjoy a quality vehicle, but still be prepared to service it regularly as needed. I am not a dealer and cannot offer a warranty, the truck is being sold as is. That said, I have a handshake no warranty warranty. What does that mean? I LOVE these trucks and have had the time of my life making a career out of sharing that passion with others… I want you to love this thing too – so if something goes wrong within a reasonable amount of time, I typically have everything for these trucks on the shelf… Alternators, switches, mirrors, sensors, on and on... If something fails, I am happy to send you what I have if/when available. I have done my best to represent this truck completely and accurately and I encourage you to ask ANY and all questions.
Most recently, I sold my beloved 92 (see my completed listings) to a great guy who flew in and drove it home to Minnesota without any issues. He did it with his girlfriend and had a blast and the last I heard, he was showing it off to another jealous family member who owns an LR3. I say this because 90% of the trucks I sell are driven home – more often than not across country – and in 2 cases, to Central America. Additionally, a fellow who just recently purchased and 88 Range Rover Classic (see listings) from me is on his way to TIERRA DEL FUEGO!!! Meaning, he is taking one of my vehicles to the ends of the Earth. Another Range Rover, recently went to Russia. As we speak, 2 other recent restorations are on a cargo ship to the South Pacific to a world class collector. That's the kind of work I put into each and every truck I restore. My vehicles are WORLD PROVEN. PERIOD.
Payment: So many ways to do it. You can pay cash, You can send a check – once cleared, Ill overnight the title. Whatever we work out to make it convenient… Happy to discuss with winning bidder.
Lastly, there is NO RESERVE so bid to win!!! On that note, please understand that the winning bid is the price of the truck... it does NOT enable you to negotiate a lower price or different terms of sale so PLEASE - bid within what you are prepared to pay. Also... while I may feel that this truck is aces, you may want to light it on fire. Everyone has a different opinion so the time to discern for yourself is NOW. Not afterwards. Ebay offers a 3rd party inspection service for buyers so please utilize this if you feel necessary. Purchase of the truck implies total understanding and satisfaction.
Thanks for the interest and as always, HAPPY ROVERING! On Jan-10-14 at 18:17:56 PST, seller added the following information: - yes registration and smog are current - 124K original miles. typo in service listing due to fat fingers pounding away... ah well..! - and for those of you on asking on the east coast - NO RUST!!! happy to text more cell phone pix if necessary. front clip, jambs, arches, bulkhead and pans all factory fresh. On Jan-10-14 at 21:24:04 PST, seller added the following information: - please note the picture of the CLEAN California title in the upper right hand corner of the title under vehicle history. Additionally, I have run the carfax and she is a TWO OWNER vehicle only with an autocheck score of 77 which puts it way beyond the normal range of 16-39. The eBay note about a salvage title is WRONG as the carfax is perfect on this gal. I am happy to email the report in its entirety to anyone interested and ill be scanning it to put it up in the picture section as well. |

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers
Sun, Nov 20 2022LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models
Sun, Mar 8 2015Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.
