This is an auction for a 1993 Range Rover Classic powered by a 3.9 EFI V8. The Classic bodywork has been replaced by a Traka kit which is produced by NCF Motors of Bishop Auckland, Yorkshire, England. The Traka bolts directly onto a Range Rover 100 inch chassis. It is lightweight and the roll cage is manufactured from 48mm BS 1387 Motor Sport Association approved tube. The whole front end with integral bull bar and galvanised steel bonnet pivots forward allowing excellent engine access. This all bolts onto the Range Rover chassis complete with galvanised side panels, galvanised inner arches and plastic mudguards.

   CHASSIS: 1993 Range Rover 100 inch wheelbase. Front and rear overhangs removed. Chassis is perfect and has never been repaired. All suspension mounts remain standard Range Rover.

   ENGINE: 3.9 EFI V8. 185 bhp at 4750rpm. 235 lb/ft or torque at 2600 rpm. Perfect working order. No oil loss or overheating. Excellent oil pressure. Just rebuilt with all gaskets and seals replaced. Heads slightly skimmed. New cam, hydraulic lifters, timing chain and sprockets. New valve springs. New plugs and leads. Vehicle has a top speed in excess of 100 MPH.

   SUSPENSION AND AXLES: Fully rebuilt front and rear axles. New, black teflon coated front swivels, gator protected. New polybushings. 4 X new springs, 4 X new shocks. Even though springs are standard height and loading they give a slightly stiffer ride due to the dramatic weight reduction over a standard Range Rover.

  BRAKES: Standard Range Rover. Discs all round. Rebuilt calipers with new seals and stainless steel pistons. New pads. Stainless Goodridge hoses. New brake lines. New master cylinder and new servo.

  WHEELS/TYRES: BF Goodrich All Terrains 33X12.5 R15. Spare is new with 13.5mm of tread. the rest showing 12mm of tread. Black, steel modular rims.

   GERABOX: Permanent 4WD with limited slip centre diff. 4 speed ZF automatic. High and low ratio. Completely standard and free from any defects. All seals and gaskets replaced. New transfer chain. New filter and fluids. A road speed of 70MPH equates to 2500 RPM in top gear.

   STEERING: LHD and power assisted. I spent this Winter converting it from RHD. Quite a simple job thanks to the Land Rover construction. Light and precise at all road speeds.

   PROPANE: Vehicle was professionally converted to run on just propane in 2000. I have a UK certificate of conformity. Starts instantly and runs perfect even from cold. A 66L and 90L feeds the V8. You can only fill to 80% which gives you a capacity of 125L. 18 MPG is easily achievable which gives you just under a 500 mile range. I have just rebuilt the BRC AT90E dual diaphragm vaporiser. Incredibly simple open loop system.

   QUESTIONS: I'm sure there will be many. I have owned this vehicle since 2006 and imported it into Canada from the UK in 2008. I am currently going through the registration process in B.C. Due to the bodywork change I had a Structural Integrity Report which includes a steering alignment report. I have my UK registration Cert. and correctly stamped Vehicle Import Form 1 for vehicles over 15 years old. I just need a safety inspection (Brakes, lights, heater, glass, washers, seat belts etc.) which I am told the vehicle will pass if I disable the propane and do the test powered by petrol. If the Range Rover goes to a new owner I would like some input as to what to do. Make the propane system comply to B.C. rules.(I have copper lines and apparently you need rubber) Fit a fuel cell and pump alongside the propane or remove the propane and install fuel cells and pump. Keep as is and use just for off road. Auction is for the vehicle as is.Vehicle is located at V1E 0B2. B.C. Canada and I welcome any inspection or test drive. If you are serious about this vehicle you must do your own homework. I will help with all shipping, collection and delivery instructions. It might look like a child's toy but it is a very large and powerful vehicle. Please see the last two photos next to a four door Jeep for scale purposes. Range Rovers are incredibly tough vehicles and the 100" wheelbase is ideal for off road use. Not too long as to hinder off road progress yet long enough to be stable at highway speeds. I have built many over the years and even entered another 100" Range Rover in various Dakar rallies. If you would like to see and hear this vehicle running please search YouTube for a "1993 Range Rover Traka Propane." If I have failed to answer your questions please do not hesitate to contact me via eBay or Tel: 250 833 5550. Thanks, Steven.

Jaguar Land Rover to skip 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Mon, Nov 23 2015

Jaguar Land Rover won't attend the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January because the automaker will shift its focus to other international shows instead, the company confirmed to Autoblog. "Following a review of our global consumer engagement program, the decision has been made not to exhibit at the Detroit show in 2016," said a company spokesperson told Autoblog. The story was first reported by Automotive News. JLR will continue to attend other US auto shows in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles; plus those abroad in Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris, Beijing, and Shanghai. "We recognize that the Detroit show is a world-class Tier 1 auto show, however, we have had to make this decision to sharpen our focus as indicated," the spokesperson said. Detroit Auto Show PR Manager Max Muncey told Autoblog that the organizers already knew JLR wouldn't be there. "We are in discussions with other automakers to fill that spot," he said about using the open space. The show expects 70 percent of the floor plan in 2016 to be different from last year. The automaker used the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to announce diesel versions for several models, and it revealed the name for the Jaguar F-Pace there. JLR reportedly now has a plan to cut the equivalent of $6.8 billion in costs without firing workers and increase production to a million annual deliveries by the end of the decade. Related Video:

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones

Thu, Oct 19 2017

While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.
