  • Range Rover Branded Floor Sills In Excellent Shape

  • Lower Valance and Fog Lights in Excellent Shape

Operation and Aesthetics:

With all of the newly fitted rugs, headliner, and show-room level detail, you open the door and you are immediately greeted by the smell of a new car!  The leather seating has been Connelly Leather Treated and is as sumptuous as the day it arrived from England.  With a flick of the key, this truck comes to life and the fully serviced 3.9L is ready to take you anywhere.  Adjust the electronic seats and you’re ready.  The shift quality from the transmission is velvety smooth and the viscous drive from the transfer case works flawlessly.  Foot to the accelerator and you are gone!  This truck takes to the motorways with total ease and BEGS for you to keep going beyond 90mph.  The Old Man Emu suspension system gives you an amazingly plush ride over stock and with its nitrogen charged reservoirs, road handling around town or on the freeway truly resembles the European Sports Car spirit hidden within the Range Rover Classic.  Handling is crisp and spirited. There are no shimmies, shakes or freeway meanderings of any kind.  The non-abs braking system (reliable FOREVER) has been flushed and refilled with Genuine Fluid and all pads replaced with Genuine Pads.  This Classic stops on a dime, noise and wander-free.

Just in time for summer, the AC system has been fully serviced and cools the cabin quickly.  Heating is excellent and fills the cabin immediately as well.  All fan speeds work from low, middle, to high speed.  Whether the rebuilt sunroof wide open, or climate control on full blast, the high powered Sony Audio System delivers concert like quality sound under all driving conditions.

All windows, sun-roof, blinkers, horn, fan speeds, variable wiper speeds, heated front and rear screens, head lamps, tail lamps, power seats all function perfectly.  The instrument cluster illuminates and functions properly, as does the drive selector plate.

A noteworthy piece of kit here in both performance and aesthetic are the original LEGENDARY Michelin XMS tires.  These were made for the Range Rover Classic ONLY and deliver an astonishingly smooth and quiet ride on road while offering the most traction available when a weekend adventure would call for it.  No tire EVER performed better, or looked better on a Classic, and here they are once again as when this vehicle was new!

As mentioned, the OEM kit offered with this Classic is exceedingly rare and will no doubt earn you top bragging rights amongst other Classic owners.  They are ready to be enjoyed, and are in MINT condition.  Nothing compliments a gem of a vehicle like this as do these appointments.  Nothing fits, performs, and looks the same as Genuine Accessories.

Body, Chassis & Coachwork:

If the pictures don’t say it all, this thing is a 100% head-turner.  Driving it here around town in Beverly Hills, it commands envious looks from even 2014 RR owners.  The “Chamonix White” paint is original and in astonishingly great shape.  Its finish it touchably smooth and a coffee cup placed on the slope of the bonnet will slide right off!  Take a minute to note the quality of the door jambs, wheel arch highlights, upper tailgate corners, etc.  They are rust and rot free, just as this vehicle was shipped from the factory.  Pay close attention to the core support and bulkhead under the bonnet.  You will notice the same – rust, rot, and corrosion free panels and seam unions.  All of this translates to integrity for a LONG time to come.

The Bahamma Beige leather seats are all in EXCELLENT shape and are guaranteed to make you do a double take.  They are still soft and clean, and with my having treated them with the factory Connelly Leather Care system, they will no doubt remain so.

The headliner has been recovered and the sun-roof rebuilt.  I dare you to find a Range Rover Classic out there with a faster sun-roof!  All hinges, joints, tailgate struts, carpets, panels and moldings are clean and tidy.  Brand new forward and rear mats by Lloyd’s round out an already impressively clean interior for a feeling of factory freshness that simply does not exist anymore.

Completing the picture here is an amazing assemblage of OEM load-space kit: The parcel shelf is in excellent shape, the spare tire is ALSO an excellent Michelin XMS, the load space tire cover and rugs are in excellent shape, the original factory tool kit is still in the factory wrapping and the jack and chocks have not a scratch!  Perhaps one of my favorite details here is the period correct factory literature provided for your enjoyment.  The SHOWROOM SALES BROCHURE from 1989! The clipping from Car & Driver for this vehicle EXACTLY! The owner’s manual is complete and the correct colour!  These pieces evoke a sense of timelessness that captures all of this vehicles heritage, while also ensuring that as it was new to someone once… it’s presented new to you now!

Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:

No one puts a Range Rover Classic together better than me, PERIOD.  It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE.  My work has been written about in Land Rover Owner International and Land Rover World magazines multiple times.  Nearly two decades of Classic ownership and service are poured into every Classic (and 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 times immediately following reception of the vehicle.  That IS NOT what happens here.  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.

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.  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.

Finally, people always ask me who I think a particular vehicle is for.  Given this trucks amazingly well-rounded profile, it’s truly for the person looking to enjoy Range Rover heritage with distinction.  This vehicle has not been beaten upon, so you have the opportunity to have an unmolested unit, ready to be enjoyed as it left England – yet for the off-road enthusiast, you have an unbelievable platform upon which to build the overland vehicle of your dreams.  This is one of the finest Range Rover Classics that I have had the pleasure to service in a very long time and know full well that its part of an elite group of vehicles in dwindling numbers.  This is your chance to capture that authentic taste of Range Rover heritage with an EXCELLENT example.  As the summer season approaches and roads known and unknown to you call you to adventure, what Range Rover Classic will you have at your side?  Best of luck and Happy Rovering!

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.

Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr

Thu, Jul 2 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.

Autoblog's ultimate holiday rides

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Over the hills and through the woods, it's the time of year when many of us visit family and friends for the holidays. But getting there can be a chore. It's cold and snowy across much of the United States, and even if the climate is favorable, the drive to grandmother's house often is not. Think back to holiday road trips of yore: They probably included crying babies, antsy children, hungover adults and frequent bathrooms stops all around. Now, we're all at different life stages here at Autoblog, and the perfect car for one staffer might be as useful as a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to another. Some of us bounce from family event to family event with children and a labrador in tow, while others prefer a quieter, simpler holiday. But whatever the endeavor, we all need wheels. With that in mind, here is the unofficial Autoblog list of the ultimate cars in which to tackle the holiday season. 2015 Ferrari FF To borrow a chestnut from Top Gear presenter James May, "As you'd expect, I've done this properly." That oddly voluptuous ruby bolide in the photo above? It's a 2015 Ferrari FF – all 652 all-wheel-driven horsepower of it. What makes a Ferrari the ideal for holiday time in PaukertLand? My Midwestern winter breaks are wonderful, but they're typically frenetic and slushy, involving a lot of schlepping from house to house and even city to city, not to mention inevitable last-minute runs for forgotten presents and dinner ingredients. Needless to say, a powerful V12 is a welcome ally for such duties. And this one isn't just a friend when the road is clear. The FF has been gifted Ferrari's novel 4RM AWD system, and despite sitting lower to the ground than, say, an SUV, it's a pretty effective tool for real winter driving, especially when outfitted with a set of snow tires. Unlike other Ferraris, it's also a rather practical thing, with legitimate seating for four adults and 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space – that's precisely as much room as a Mercedes E-Class – and you can fold the rear chairs and cram 28.2 cubes-worth of holiday cheer in the back. Okay, so it's far from cheap and fuel economy isn't that great, but who cares? Just drop a paddle-shifted gear or two, bury the throttle and Repeat The Sounding Joy. Ain't the holidays grand? – Chris Paukert Executive Editor 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe My Mom gives out more presents than any other human being I've ever encountered.
