Introduction:

 

This is a clean, excellent family Rover with tons of servicing.  Whether you are looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast, you will LOVE this clean low mile RUST FREE TRUCK.  This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:

Vehicle Driving and Features:

 

Let me talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL.  ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover.  It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck.  On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck.  ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension.  Next – Rear Air Suspension.  This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME.  The same goes for towing.  I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable.  Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most  later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service.  Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!

 

The cabin is quiet and odor free.  This was a NON SMOKER truck.  The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.

 

Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners.  It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles!  As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day.  I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.

 

 

Purchasing and Perspective:

 

If you brought this truck to me and did all of the servicing that I have listed, you would EASILY SPEND $7K+ to service this truck.  Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER.  WHENEVER.  I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term.  Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it!  When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years.  You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck.  That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.”  They need to be maintained.  They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance.  While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly.  No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that.  In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior.  The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove.  While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny.  This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors).  I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!”  This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. 


Obviously, I spend a lot of time writing these ad's trying to give you a sense of each Rover's unique profile.  I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!!  There is no question too small or obscure.  This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition.  Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand!  Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!!  That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time.  I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available. 

 

Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK.  Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY.  Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit. 

 

I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica.  One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!).  I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare.  Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there.  If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME.  Don’t settle for less.

 

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go.  There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!

Land Rover plotting high-performance Disco Sport, Evoque

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about performance with its new SVR line of high-output machinery. We've already seen the Range Rover Sport SVR, and we're anticipating more to follow with SVR versions of the new Jaguar XE, Range Rover LWB, outgoing Land Rover Defender and plenty more. The lineup will eventually include performance versions of most, but not all of the British automaker's products. But while the smallest Land Rovers may not get the full-on SVR treatment, JLR reportedly has something in the works. According to Australian website Motoring, Land Rover is watching the segment and considering its options. It sees Audi with its SQ5, BMW planning performance versions of the X3 and X4, and Mercedes plotting an AMG version of the GLC that's set to replace the GLK. The question is just what Land Rover will do. Both the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque are based on the same D8 platform that incorporates transversely mounted inline-fours, so fitting something larger might be prohibitive, but a high-output turbo version of the new Ingenium four-cylinder engine design could do the trick. Considering what the likes of Volvo and Mercedes have managed to do with their high-strung turbo fours, Land Rover's approach could prove to be no slouch at all – even without the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 powering the flagship SVR models. In related news, Autovisie – the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf – projects that an SVR version of the Jaguar F-Type will be among the high-performance models coming up next. Slotting above the F-Type R with its 550 horsepower, the F-Type SVR will be even more powerful. The Project 7 speedster packaged a 575-hp version of the same supercharged V8, potentially pointing the way forward for future SVR models.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021

Thu, Feb 18 2021

J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year.  "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.
