1998 LSE 50TH ANNIVERSARY 4.6L 7-Seater!!! Overview: This vehicle is awesome. How do you take an exceedingly rare, well kept, low-mile Land Rover and make it better? Reset the clock with a full service profile and give it the engine all Rovers should have had in the first place – the legendary 4.6L Rover V8! Interested? Well read on my friends. I have a lot to say about this truck and when all is said and done, you’ll have to get your gloves on because everyone is going to want it! Service History: As a Land Rover Master Tech, reliability is my first objective… ALWAYS. The following is an exhaustive list of performed service points done previously by the owner as well as the most recently done with me. The list covers all critical areas for the vintage. Here are the highlights:
Build Concept & Operation: This truck is a BLAST to drive. If you have never experienced a 4.6L converted Rover before, it is something that all enthusiasts lust after. Here’s why: unbeatable performance, fuel efficiency, and total bragging rights. This LSE was already awesome. …and then I had a 4.6L hanging around that needed the right truck and this one was it! Here’s why: The LSE editions were the flagship of the Rover line in 1998. They came with all the aesthetic refinement available at the time. Their Range Rover brethren however were offered the additional option of amazing power. This is the fusion of both ideals. All that power of the HSE P38 as the heart of this already amazing Disco. I LOVE that this thing is a Luxury truck, with a monster engine making it a total performance sleeper. To me, it echoes the ideology of the Jaguar XJ V12’s. Total refinement and peerless aggression once the gas is hit! Fire this thing up and you have the steady pulse of a healthy V8 with no ticks, knocks, stumbles or hesitation of ANY kind. Drop it into drive, hit the gas and you are GONE. Punch it getting onto the freeway and the true nature of this thing reveals itself. You launch onto the freeway before you can even say “Help me Lucas!” With this 4.6L serviced as it has been, you easily cruise at 85mph at 2600rpm. The 4.0L motor produces 80mph at around 3000rpm. So what does this mean? The motor works less, to give you more, opening up a powerband unavailable with the 4.0L. She cruises straight and true with no wanderings of any kind. Take a long looping freeway interchange at speed and the suspension is plush and assertive, giving you a feeling of total control and comfort. All switches and controls work great; windows, doors, sunroofs too. The AC has been overhauled and cools the cabin down quickly and the heat blasts nicely on cold toes after a morning surf. There are no check engine lights or any illuminated warnings on the dash. Body, Chassis & Coachwork: This thing looks as good as it ever has. The Lightstone Leather interior is as soft and clean as you’d hope it to be with any wear resembling the perfect fit of your favorite baseball glove. All woodwork is dark, and the rugs and mats are clean, with the pile still factory plush with all “Discovery” branding clean and legible. The headliner is brand new and with the full-service professional detail, she smells like a new car. It has always been a non smoker vehicle and it gives you a sense of factory freshness that would be lost otherwise. The jump-seats make it an available 7 seater and as typical with most SoCal trucks, they were fitted as an accessory only and were clearly never used. They are in excellent shape. The paint is in great condition, shines up beautifully as pictured, but like most older Californian’s who have spent a life in the sun, it has its share of surface blemishes and marks that I would consider otherwise acceptable for the vintage. All paint-matched accents are in great condition and the chrome bumpers shine perfect with no pitting or blemishes. That said, the vehicle is another wonderful rust-free California example with all jambs, hinges, seams, pans, bulkheads, welds, arches, etc in as pristine condition as you’re gonna find. One of the nicest things about the 50th Anniversary LSE’s were the optional “Boost” wheels – offered only on NAS Defenders of the same vintage. These wheels are HIGHLY sought after and perfect sets of 5 (such as these) still sell for over $1000! Additionally, these were the ONLY wheels made for Land Rover outside of England. They were crafted in Italy in limited quantity for these special editions ONLY. Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me: No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every truck that I see into new hands. I know your concerns. I know your passion. They are mine, too. All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else. Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle. Beware of any truck that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, too. More and more these days copy-cats of mine pop up prompting customers to ask about various “cars I have for sale.” If you don’t see one for sale from me… its… well… not me! Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet. They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it! The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership. Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed. While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune cosmetic needs or to future service needs and flaws. They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, fuel pump, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction. Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition. Finally, people always ask me who I think a particular vehicle is for. I’ve gotta be honest. Part of me sees this stunning White-Gold LSE displayed proudly on the driveway as a daily commuter or a summer guest vehicle. HOWEVER, the other half of me sees this thing lifted, locked, re-geared and climbing the impossible verticals of the Red Slick Rock in Moab, Utah. Blue sky, Red Rock, and this trucks White-Gold finish??? Yee-freakin-haw!!! This truck has potential for so many… Its clean, functional, reliable, gorgeous and plainly KICKS ASS... The 98’s were distinctive all the way. And if you are looking for LSE’S only, then no doubt you have a specific need. Whatever it may be, this vehicle is up to the task and will make its new owner proud. Summer time is coming – and this vehicle is ready to be an essential component to your itinerary… whatever and wherever that may be! Best of luck and Happy Rovering! |

Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars
Fri, Aug 5 2016In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover to cut $6.8 billion in costs
Tue, Nov 10 2015Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs by $6.8 billion and will push annual production volume to 1 million vehicles under a secret project called Leap 4.5, according to Reuters. The British automaker wants to achieve these ambitious goals by the end of the decade to compensate for the changing market in China and to counteract the price of meeting stricter emissions standards around the world. Leap 4.5 won't mean firing workers or cutting the automaker's $4.5 billion annual research budget. JLR will instead find savings by underpinning more models with modular platforms and by adjusting its supply chain. Future factories like the one in Brazil and the proposed plant in Slovakia also won't be affected by the new strategy. Globally, JLR continues to grow, and deliveries are up two percent through October 2015 to 390,965 vehicles. Business just last month was up 24 percent year-over-year to 41,553 units. However, the auto market's downturn in China has taken a bite out the automaker's success because volume dropped there 32 percent in the third quarter, Reuters reported. A global volume of 1 million vehicles will mean more than doubling 2014's 462,678 deliveries, but JLR has made significant investments to boost production recently. In addition to the future factories, it opened its first plant in China last year and an engine assembly site in the UK. The company also signed a deal with Magna Steyr in 2015 to build an upcoming model in Austria. Related Video:
Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
