Minimal wear on driver's seat, one minor crease (no paint damage) in bodywork by right rear lights, some evidence of paint touchup from previous owner, no accident history or evidence of any rust."

You're looking a really strong, low-mileage Disco II, where all the typical maintenance issues have already been addressed.  In the past two weeks this truck has had:


Full transmission fluid replacement
Full brake fluid flush
Full coolant flush
Engine oil & filter replaced
New air filter
New power steering pump & fluid, plus new O-rings on the lines

And within the past six months, it's also had:

Throttle body coolant adapter plate replaced
Fuel vapor evaporative purge valve replaced
New pollen/dust air filter element under the hood (the long skinny one that most people ignore)
New oxygen sensor (Sensor 1, Bank 1; the other 3 all test out fine)
Replacement neutral safety switch (rivets failed on the first one, allowing water and gunk to get inside)
New 4-wire trailer harness adapter from Atlantic British
New retainer pin on driver's door strap
Various new finisher caps on wiper cowl & front seat armrests
In-dash vehicle-specific phone mount from ProClip USA -- you can buy a fitted cradle for your particular phone
New latching fitting for under-hood battery box lid
New press-pins for rear gate trim panel, and repair to moisture barrier underneath
New rear wiper arm
New wiper blades on all 3 wipers
Replacement gaiter/boot for handbrake
A replacement OEM in-dash CD player

It also has an add-on Bluetooth adapter from Grom Audio, which provides support for Bluetooth hands-free telephone use, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a standard aux-in audio connection and separate dedicated USB charging connector.  Note:  this replaces the factory CD changer, which is still mounted under the passenger seat but is disconnected.  

The truck comes with two correct OEM remote keys, one of which is brand new and hasn't been used since I bought it.  All owner's manuals are also included in their little pouch.

It has the correct OEM front and rear rubber floor mats, and a new rear rubber cargo mat from Weathertech.  Tires are Falken on/off-road, in good condition.  Factory tools are all present and in good condition, including the storage pouch, which has no tears or zipper damage.  I suspect most of the tools haven't been used.

The car runs strong, all the necessary OBD2 system monitors test successfully, there is no evidence of head gasket problems, and every item I previously noticed needed attention has been addressed.  

On the interior, the headliner is excellent, the seats are excellent, and I added the OEM heated seat switches and trim panel just a few months ago, so those work great as well.  All the power functions (seats, windows, mirrors, sunroofs) work great and at full/normal speed.  All in-dash switches, lights, and functions work 100%.

The correct factory retractable rear cargo cover is present, and I also have a hard-copy factory shop manual, two types of touch-up paint (a pen and a small spray can, both correct Oslo Blue), and an assortment of additional emblems and trim caps as spares.  For a bit of fun, I have Union Jack valve stem caps on the truck as well.  

SPECIAL INCENTIVE FOR BUY-IT-NOW!

If you hit Buy It Now, or the truck ultimately sells via regular auction at or above the BIN price ($9999), the winning bidder will receive the following additional items:

1)  Crossbars for factory roof rack
2)  Rear hitch-mounted aluminum cargo carrier, able to carry 500 lbs, plus a folding ramp if you wanted to load a lawnmower, wheelchair, or whatever else you have
3)  Rear hitch-mounted folding double bike-rack
4)  Awesome Smithsonian National Zoo vinyl-cling rear window sticker

That's easily another $600 worth of accessories.  

To be very clear:  none of these items will be included unless the truck sells AT OR ABOVE the original Buy It Now price.  If the truck is sent via transporter, rather than picked up in person, the rear seats will be folded down and these items will be stored in the back of the truck.  Neither the carrier nor the bike rack fit cleanly unless you first remove the spare tire, but they are just fine after that.  I will not give credit or otherwise discount the price in lieu of receiving those items; if you don't want them, I will keep them, but the price will stay the same.  

If the truck sells above reserve but below the BIN price, and you want any of these items, I will add them for $200 each (for items 1-3, or 4 if you insist), just let me know which ones you want.

Truck is still being driven occasionally so mileage will increase a small amount.

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

Jaguar wants to become the British electric company

Thu, Sep 8 2016

Jaguar has been telegraphing its electric future for years, and this week we're beginning to see it come to fruition. The company's Formula E race team officially launched September 8 with sponsorship, livery, and an interesting name for its racecar, the I-Type 1. It marks Jaguar's return to factory-supported racing and serves as a model for the company's future strategy. "The Formula E championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions," Nick Rogers, executive director of product engineering at Jaguar Land Rover, said in a statement. "We will apply this vital knowledge as part of our real-world development." Formula E competition starts October 9 as the all-electric racing series begins its third season. Panasonic signed on as the title sponsor of the team. Formula E is a natural move for Jag and allows the British company to remain true to its racing heritage while still looking toward. The company claims seven Le Mans titles, which is the fourth-most in history, even though it hasn't won one since 1990. That's a great lineage, but Jaguar knows it's getting dusty. Launching a Formula E effort allows it to compete in a form of motorsports that should prove relevant to road-car technology. Jag is drawing on Williams Advanced Engineering (you might have heard of its F1 team) for the electric powertrain. Williams also helped with the development of Jaguar's C-X75 plug-in concept car. Meanwhile, we also captured an F-Pace crossover silently testing this week in the Alps. Though it looks like a normal F-Pace, spy shooters report it was producing no engine noise, leading (or perhaps leaping) to the conclusion it's the rumored electric SUV Jaguar is working on. Likely, this prototype has a diesel engine as a range extender. View 11 Photos Though the camouflaged F-Pace is great fodder for speculation, Jag's electric efforts are not a secret. Jaguar and Land Rover showed off three electric-vehicle demonstrators last year and the company is exploring everything from mild hybrids to full electric powertrains. JLR has filed paperwork to secure trademarks for I-Pace and E-Pace. "JLR is definitely rushing headfirst into electrification," said Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis for research firm AutoPacific.

Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs

Fri, Nov 20 2020

You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaint Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’s Tata Motors Ltd., said in its filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission that the technology helps negotiate a “broad range of surfaces” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. “JLR seeks to protect itself and its United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund its investments in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands, Volkswagen Group owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
