1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 – 106K miles Featured with ACE, EAS, and Non SAI!!! 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:
Service and Reliability:
As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible – this has become my signature eBay service list:
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!!!

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
Jaguar Heritage to auction off part of its classic-car collection
Mon, Feb 19 2018A few years back it was reported that Jaguar Land Rover had purchased the James Hull classic car collection in its entirety. The collection is beyond significant, as it was at the time of sale the biggest single collection of British cars in the world and the largest private car collection in the UK. Consisting of 543 cars, it ranged from the mundane to the obscure, including some extremely rare prototypes. There were 130 Jaguars, for example, from the C-type to the D-type to the XKSS. When the cars were put up for sale in 2014, the asking price was a not-insubstantial $170 million. JLR didn't reveal how much it spent to buy the cars, but now it seems the carmaker is about to recoup some of those costs. At least 50 cars from the collection will be sold by auction house Brightwells, as part of the Affordable Classics at Bicester sale on March 21; some reports have said JLR would be eventually offloading as many as 100 cars. Looking at the listing, there are some definite gems in there. Not all cars are British, as there are Citroens, Mercedes-Benzes, a Fiat and a Goggomobil. Jaguars and Land Rovers are notably absent from Brightwells' listing, which we take as a clue that the sale will consist of cars not crucial to JLR's wellbeing and heritage. That said, for a lover of British cars there's a possibility to grab something truly interesting: For example, the Reliant Scimitar Ferguson 4x4 Prototype must be worth preserving. A 4WD pioneer also known for Massey-Ferguson tractors, Ferguson fitted its system in Jensens as well as a prototype 4WD Mustang in the 1960s. The fiberglass-bodied Reliant sports car is an interesting sidenote in Ferguson's history. Then there's a Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS, which is a veritable rally-bred RWD hot hatch in comparison to the American market Chevrolet Chevette, its distant relative. On the hot hatch front, there are also Metro and Maestro turbos, which offer plenty of poke in a light, boxy body. Or if you view the internet's popular "Worst Cars Ever Made" lists as shopping lists, you could build your own collection of slightly dodgy cars: Start with the unfortunate-looking Vanden Plas Allegro, continue to the malaise-tastic Morris Ital Camper, and finish it off with a late-model Lada Riva wagon from the mid-1990s. Some cars are in tip-top shape, and some are best seen as restoration projects, like the very pretty Borgward Isabella coupe from 1960.
Jaguar Land Rover CEO: Wrong Brexit deal will cost thousands of UK jobs
Tue, Sep 11 2018BIRMINGHAM, England — The wrong Brexit deal could cost tens of thousands of jobs, the boss of Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover warned on Tuesday, saying he had no idea whether his plants would be able to operate after Britain leaves the European Union next year. Ralf Speth also said that the company would not be able to build cars if customs checks meant that the motorway to and from the southern English port of Dover, which is used to transport components, becomes a "car park" due to snarl-ups of people no longer able to move freely among EU countries. Speth made the warning at a conference in Birmingham, central England, speaking shortly before Prime Minister Theresa May, who is battling to have her so-called Chequers Brexit plan accepted by many in her Conservative Party as well as the EU ahead of Britain's departure from the bloc on March 29. "A thousand (jobs were) lost as a result of diesel policy, and those numbers will be counted in the tens of thousands if we do not get the right Brexit deal," warned Speth, referring to redundancies made earlier this year at the firm. "Currently I do not even know if any of our manufacturing facilities in the UK will be able to function on the 30th," he said. The boss of JLR, which built nearly a third of Britain's cars last year, also said long-standing issues around low productivity in Britain could be compounded by a Brexit agreement which made the country less competitive. "It is thousands of pounds cheaper to produce vehicles for instance in Eastern Europe than in Solihull, and what decisions will I be forced to make if Brexit means not merely that costs go up but that we cannot physically build cars on time and on budget in the UK?" he said.Reporting by Costas Pitas
