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!

Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings

Mon, Jun 15 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Jaguar Land Rover to recall 44,000 vehicles over excessive diesel emissions

Thu, Mar 14 2019

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 44,000 vehicles in the U.K. due to some of its vehicles emitting higher CO2 emissions than were officially stated. The recall is said to affect vehicles equipped with JLR's 2.0-liter diesel engine in cars built between 2014 and 2018. Quite a few models are affected, including the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace, F-Pace, along with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Sport. The excessive CO2 emissions were discovered by the British vehicle certification agency, who then reported it to JLR. The company is reportedly working on a fix that will satisfy the agency and bring the cars back in line with their stated CO2 emissions. As of now, JLR is not saying what the fix will entail. A statement from JLR reads: "The modifications will be made free of charge, and every effort will be made to minimize inconvenience to the customer." The U.K. magazine Which? said JLR told them owners might experience minor changes to the "overall vehicle experience." Reading between the lines there, that sounds like there could be some pretty serious tampering with the engine software, but we'll leave the speculation to a minimum for now. CO2 emissions numbers are used in the U.K. to set tax levels for vehicles, which means JLR could have gotten out of some taxation with its artificially low CO2 numbers. At this point we don't know how badly the numbers are off, so it's impossible to know how egregious the mislabeling is. There also isn't any explanation for why the CO2 numbers are off, but this is all information that could be forthcoming. The 44,000 number could rise, too, because the UK vehicle standards agency says that some gasoline models could also be involved. That would open a whole new can of worms for JLR. Some Jaguar vehicles (XE, XF and F-Pace) offer a 2.0-liter diesel option for the U.S., but Land Rover's only diesel it sells here now is the 3.0-liter V6. For the time being there's no recall out on the diesel or gas engines from JLR in the U.S. There's no chatter surrounding emissions cheat devices like those involved with Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal. Nor does the scale of whatever the problem is come anywhere near the amount of Volkswagen diesels that needed to be recalled or taken off the roads. We'll be keeping tabs on the situation to see if this expands any further than the U.K. Green Recalls Jaguar Land Rover SUV Diesel Vehicles Luxury Sedan

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission

Sat, Dec 20 2014

Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
