2000 Discovery SE7 w/100K miles One of One! Introduction: If you have been looking for an exceptionally clean, impossibly rare, fully serviced, fully loaded Land Rover Discovery; your truck has just shown up! I could not believe it when I got my hands on her, but this vehicle is part of a rare class of trucks reportedly built at Land Rover’s only facility outside of England. There are just a hand-full of these European optioned, North American Spec vehicles out there and having confirmed it personally with LRNA as well as a few other national data-bases, this truck is the ONLY CONISTON GREEN EURO NAS TRUCK IN NORTH AMERICA. Take a good look folks, this example is more than just an awesome truck, it is a true piece of Land Rover history. Service and Reliability: Service and reliability come first with me always. There isn’t anyone else out there like me offering restored vintage Land Rovers… I own them, collect them and love them too. I race them professionally. I spend countless man hours making sure they are as ready to go as possible and my work has been featured in Land Rover Owner international & Land Rover World magazines. Here are the service highlights for this amazing truck, GENUINE parts ALWAYS FIT:
Styling and Options: If you have been following me on eBay, then you know I am never really at a loss for where to begin my descriptions on a Land Rover vehicle. This truck has stopped me DEAD in my tracks! I’ve got to say, like most of you probably are, I am blown away first by the color. “Coniston Green” was a color reserved for the premier launch of the first Land Rover Discovery’s and never to be seen again. To have this celebrated factory color on a Discovery Series II is something truly to brag about. The paint is EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH to the touch and as pictured, I have tried to show it in a variety of lighting compositions to showcase how rich of a color it is. In blistering sun, it resembles a military green. As the lighting shifts, the cool blue hues transform the color to a deep forest green. Sunset actually makes the color of the truck appear blue; and then black. As I have said, I have personally confirmed it to be the only one here in the U.S.A. so if you have been looking for the unique Rover to have, this is it! The Light-Stone leather is velvety smooth with all seating surfaces clean and soft and rich. All power seats work, as do the split folding benches and rear jump seats. The carpeting pile is still soft and the armrest velour on the door-cards are virtually wear free! You always see a driver’s left elbow print on the driver’s door-card – not to be found here! The headliner is brand new and the GENUINE rubber floor mats in front, rear, and cargo are in EXCELLENT condition. It smells like a brand-new car inside! Want something to truly blow away any other Land Rover out there? How about having a European instrument cluster with all warning symbols as their European counterpart! Got speed? Well driving around a truck with a cluster in KM/H will make any short drive appear more spirited. Let’s say you’re cruising around at 50mph but you look down and the needle is pointing at “80;” there is an instantaneous link with this truck having come from Europe. Yes, all Land Rovers are European vehicles. This one is PURE! The digital odometer display is calibrated in miles, so no worry there when it comes time to register your vehicle. The 18” Pro-Line style wheels are in excellent shape and all bumpers, bull-bars, lights, etc are as perfect as you would hope to find. As this has been a California Car since 10K miles on, it is wonderfully rust, rot and corrosion free! Performance and Operation: She’s more than just looks! With its low miles and full service package this vehicle is a BLAST to drive! The engine has tons of power and launches off the line with total confidence. It does not overheat, tick, knock, rattle, stumble or hesitate at all. Toggle the selectable sport mode and you charge onto the motorways without ever needing to see what’s coming behind you. She is brilliantly quiet out in the open and does not shimmy or wander at all. It is one of the few D2’s out there that still retains its rail-road like ride. She EASLIY cruises at 100mph and can most certainly go beyond. The Active Cornering Enhancement system works great. This innovation eliminates virtually all body roll from the vehicle. For example, I test all ACE vehicles on a nice long looping freeway interchange at high speed. The body is PLANTED and the steering sticks as would a higher end sports-car. She also passes my Mulholland Drive test…. A fabled twisty stretch of roadway here where one mistake means disaster. Pushed to its limits, this truck makes even a harrowing drive like that feel like a walk in the park. Take an ACE vehicle off-road and you have total control and articulation over severe terrain where you would otherwise see vehicles being tossed from side to side. The AC is great, and so is the heat. This was always a non smoker truck so you don’t have to worry about anything flying out of the vents including stale air! All auto lock doors, windows, sunroofs and power options work great. The loadspace area is clean, the retractable cover is intact and in perfect working order, it is equipped with rear audio entertainment on both sides and all jump seat parcel shelves, handles and anchors are excellent. 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 Rover that I see into new hands. 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 vintage Rover 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 Classic 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. 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. I have A LOT of copy-cats out there. If you aren’t buying one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to “cut-n-paste” my listings!!! While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune 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. Case in point for this vehicle in particular, the ONLY wear that I can find on it are on the outer lower driver’s seat bolster where there is a typical wear crack to the material and on the drivers and passenger door, where there is a minimal parking lot variety pencil line scratch and dent. 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, 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. Who is this truck for: Good question! First, it’s for anyone looking for a quality Land Rover that is as distinctive as it is reliable. It can be a great daily driver, family car, weekender, guest vehicle and beyond. The deeper you look into this truck, I am certain that it will attract the attention of the collector and the Rover enthusiast crowd. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE HERE!!!! If my instincts are correct, I have a feeling it will come down to a few fella’s who see this as the ultimate platform for an “Event Truck.” Its rare. Its clean. Its everything to incite the envy of your Rover buddies. And now, put a tasteful lift on it. Lights. An SD roof rack. A color matched slim-line winch bumper. And all of a sudden you have something in your hands distinctive and capable the world over. I imagine this truck battling through the deep greens and muddied tracks of the south… or climbing out of Hell’s revenge in Utah… against the red slick rock and clear blue sky. This truck has SO MUCH potential its crazy. However, what it always comes down to is this: What’s your vision and what will you do with this amazing one of a kind truck? Happy Rovering! |

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
