                  Reluctantly I am selling my summer project, a completely rust-free 2000 DII that I purchased from the original owner back in June. I liked it because it was a simpler SD with NO sunroofs and the cloth interior ( I always thought it was cool), and it came in a fairly rare special-order burgundy finish. 
 It was also a REAL 1-owner vehicle, that has always lived all of its life here in the balmy mid-peninsula Northern California weather ( NO nasty hidden nor overt rust issues like almost every single one coming from the East coast or the rust belt down south, or a flood car ), purchased brand-new at Cole European ( when they were down on California Drive in Burlingame, CA; they have since relocated to Walnut Creek, CA).
The Discovery was given to the daughter (who frankly was lost in the sauce when it came to car maintenance), and she could not afford it or had any idea as to maintenance and repairs. 
It was at that time in serious need of tires (less than 5% left), thus the first thing I did was to have a set of new KUHMO radial tires installed. Also replaced one of the rear SLS bags and now cycles perfect.
My plan was to have this DII set up with a mild lift kit, but found an older DI XD instead, that had already had all kinds of $ put into it.


              This Discovery is a basic DII series, SD model (with no sunroofs as previously mentioned, so good-bye sunroof leaks or broken sunroofs to contend with), with fairly rare cloth interior.
160K original miles on its original BOSCH 4.0L engine, which actually runs very well.  It has the standard Land Rover amenities such as AC, Power windows ( and ALL FOUR work; I replaced the driver's side regulator, the one that always breaks), central locking ( which actually works, with a functional remote, actually two), factory alarm, etc.
It has near-new tires ( at least 95% tread left) mounted on the factory 16" alloy wheels, and the brakes look like they were recently done F and R. All rotors are mirror-perfect, withtout any grooves, hot spots or gouges. Also had a new water pump installed recently.

               The Disco II needs some work, as the temp gauge went up to 3/4 twice on me. I tried to figure out a pattern, but it occurred at random ( once right in front of my house, and another time after having driven for about 45 miles coming back from the east bay).
I have not replaced the thermostat, the clutch fan, cooling fan sensor or the radiator, and do not think that they have before, so it may very well be its time. It could very well be simply one of those issues, but I would like to be upfront about any impending repairs needed.
I did purchase a brand-new clutch fan ( made in the USA, not some junk part made in China), but never installed it. There is no oil in the water, or water in the oil. The coolant level remains the same, and does not mysteriously disappear. There is NO spewing of coolant, water vapor or any weird smoke coming out of the tailpipe, either.

 I simply do not have the facilities to do the repairs myself, and my dear spouse is about to hang me because I showed up at the house with yet another Land Rover ( if you are wondering why I am selling it!), thus the reason to list it for sale. The Rover is very straight, and it would make a terrific off-road Land Rover.
          Additionally, it does NOT have SRS, ABS nor CHECK ENGINE lights on ( and they are ALL connected; no removed or "burned out" bulbs here like most people do, rather than perform the repairs properly). CA DMV fees are all paid thru SEP 13. I have a clear California title and also a CARFAX / AUTOCHECK REPORT available for you to see:
 C:\Users\Louis\Downloads\report_for_VIN_SALTL1540YA290065 (1).html

               Overall, it is a very solid, COMPLETELY RUST-FREE Land Rover Discovery II, a fairly rare SD model, with good running powertrain.  CLEAR California title, NEVER wrecked and NEVER in an accident. It has not been through a dozen owners, car auctions or sleazy car lots. It was purchased new by the original owner, and then passed on to me.

         Feel free to EM me or call with questions (650) 430-4660 * If you are far and out of the area, I would be willing to help transport it anywhere in the US at the most economical transporter rate available. 
   Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in order prior to placing a bid, to ensure a seamless and smooth transaction for both of us.
Method of payment can be a cashier's check or money order. Personal, business, C.C or annuity checks may be used, but must clear funds prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Additionally, a bank wire transfer our local CHASE Bank branch here in San Mateo can be utilized, as it expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.
Finally, PAYPAL may be an alternative if previously arranged between both the prospective buyer and seller ( me).
               Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the title and bill of sale to the Landie, via USPS Priority with tracking, unless noted otherwise.
I shall be glad to assist / arrange transportation or delivery of this Discovery II to any location nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available. You pay the transporter for his cost upon delivery of the Rover.
  Feel free to EM me or call with questions.  Thanks a lot for your interest~!

Check out King Charles III's $17.6 million car collection

Fri, May 5 2023

King Charles III's coronation will take place in England on May 6, and being crowned a monarch comes with a long list of perks with four wheels. He will gain full access to the Royal Family's fleet of cars, which is valued at about GBP14 million (approximately $17.6 million). The two most expensive cars in the collection are nearly identical: they're a pair of Bentley State Limousine models (pictured) built for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III's mother, in 2002. Only two units were made, and they're both part of the Royal Family's fleet, so they're difficult to put a value on; it's not like one is going to end up listed on your favorite auction site anytime soon. British company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which compiled the list, estimates that each armored, 245-inch long sedan is worth at least GBP10,000,000 (roughly $12.6 million). Dropping below the eight-digit threshold, the second-most-valuable car in the Royal Family's fleet isn't really a car. It's the Gold State Coach, which Matchbox recently released a 1/64-scale replica of, and its value is estimated at GBP1.6 million (about $2 million). At 275 inches long it's even bigger than the Bentley limousine and it weighs about 9,000 pounds. It's 261 years old and designed to be pulled by eight horses, and has been part of every coronation since 1831. The rest of the Royal Family's vehicles are relatively mundane. There's a 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, bought for King Charles III on his 21st birthday. It's worth GBP1 million (about $1.2 million). The collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (about $627,000), a Bentley Bentayga (about $201,000), a Land Rover Range Rover long-wheelbase Landaulet ($133,000), a Jaguar XE (about $41,000), and a Land Rover Defender ($38,000). "Luxury cars have long been associated with the monarch and King Charles III, in particular, is known for his fondness of motor vehicles. His impressive collection features sentimental value with motors passed down from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to cars bought for him by his parents," explained Keith Hawes, the director of Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, in an interview with CBS News. Being at the head of a car-making nation's royal family also comes with drawbacks: Every vehicle in King Charles III's fleet is British.

Tata confirms JLR is looking at NA for new plant

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Despite recent rumors to the contrary, Jaguar Land Rover is considering building a factory in North America, though not necessarily in the United States. The confirmation comes directly from former Tata Motors boss and still chairman emeritus Ratan Tata in a conversation with Automotive News. "The company is indeed looking at North America as a location for another plant. Where they locate that plant, in which country or which state they locate, is something they will need to decide," Tata said to AN. The magnate indicated that he wasn't taking part in the decision, though. Rumors of JLR's plans to open a factory in the US go back to at least to 2014. The automaker was reportedly looking to open a plant in the South to produce around 200,000 vehicles a year, and at the time, South Carolina was considered a possible location. However, later speculation made Georgia a likely contender, especially after the state's governor reportedly flew to the UK to pitch the company on the idea. Recently, the business had allegedly changed its mind and had turned the sights towards Austria or Turkey as potential alternatives. JLR is seemingly on a factory building binge at the moment. It opened a new engine plant in the UK late last year and its first manufacturing center in China at about the same time. The latest Land Rover Discovery Sport will also get assembled in Brazil for the local market.
