 For auction I have a 1988 Range Rover Classic in good shape with a newer 4.6 L engine. I bought the truck in 2009 locally with the intention to use it for towing my 19 ft. boat to the lake and some local driving. The original 3.5L engine was weak and worn. Soon after I decided to install a more powerful and newer1998 Range Rover 4.6L. Motor was purchased used and reconditioned by an automotive machine shop. The 4.6 L motor is a perfect drop in, all accessories and brackets are exactly the same and is running on the original engine management.  The end result is a nice powerful Rover with good towing capability and torque. Transmission is in good shape, shifts smooth, transfer case works good too, and drives down the road with no vibrations. The  engine has about 20k miles since the installation and runs strong. It as installed a moderate torque cam from Isky Cams, and under power the truck has a pretty cool grunt.
Brakes are in good shape, about mid life wear.
Suspension is good, this truck has the  regular trouble free coil-overs.
Starter, water pump, hoses and alternator was replaced with the 4.6 engine installation (approx 20k miles ago)
Tires are all good, at mid life.
Muffler has a small leak, possible replacement is needed.
Windshield is crack free
All electrical system works, all lights good, sunroof works, all windows work, instruments work and accurate.
Body is rust free, tailgate and rear hatch is rust free, a few minor door dings around the body, a mid size ding on the tail gate (see picture), paint is presentable and shiny.
Interior is clean, driver front seat  fabric on the side is ripped( see pic), head liner is good and new, sunroof does not leak, one  front cabin vent grille is missing.
Washington title in hand, free & clear.
Truck is in good shape, there is no need for any serious repairs to be done, and is reliable for long trips. The exact total miles is unknown, apparently sometime ago, according car-fax history, there was a discrepancy in the mileage reading, probably because these early Range Rover instrument clusters have issues with the odometer counter locking up, and got replaced. The actual reading right now is 111500
If interested, I have a spare complete good transmission, transfer case available for the truck with the purchase of the Rover.

Lots of Land Rovers, Jaguars and Minis actually survived that near-capsized ship

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Despite a severe list to starboard, many of the 1,400 cars and SUVs aboard the 51,000-ton Hoegh Osaka are currently being recovered in salvageable condition, with video showing some of the vehicles from British brands Land Rover, Jaguar and Mini, being driven ashore under their own power. The car-carrying vessel developed a severe list on January 3 and was intentionally run aground on a sandbar between England and the Isle of Wight. It has since limped its way back to port in Southampton, where damage assessments are being conducted on both the ship and its $53-million in cargo. According to the company that owns the car carrier, the ship itself only suffered minor damage in the incident, while Car and Driver is reporting that many of the damaged vehicles will almost certainly be scrapped. Still, the fact that there are vehicles, some of which appear undamaged (look at that Defender at 0:50!), being removed from the Hoegh Osaka needs to count as a net win.

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center

Fri, Mar 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
