Sheila & I live in Albuquerque. Sheila is available for adoption to a VERY GOOD HOME ONLY. Please read the entire add, and if you are seriously interested in giving her a loving home. I require ALL bidders to contact me at my number listed below. I would like the opportunity to answer any/ all questions with full disclosure to aid in peace of mind for both parties.
Sheila is a 1993 Land Rover Range Rover LWB County Classic w/ 146k miles with a 4.2 V-8. She is not a jealous gal, unlike most rovers....you will not find her marking her territory with bodily fluids everywhere she goes(oil, tran fluid, power steering etc) So if you happen to be a jeep lover and have one parked in your driveway, she wont create a fuss. I cannot speak for your jeep though :)
It should also be noted that Sheila is not nearly as festive as some rovers. You see, I have owned many in my time and quite frankly it is nice when all of your dashboard warning lights are illuminated in a kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, greens and oranges, it feels like Christmas all year long. Sheila's lights do come on when you turn the key (as they should), but inexplicably go dark once she's up and running. I tried contacting Land Rover about this phenomenon, but they told me not to worry, "Sheila, was just secure with her personality and felt no need to be the center of attention"
If you don't have a significant other, Sheila makes a great companion. Together, we have spent many hours bonding. usually with me on my back, and her on top. What can I say, she likes to drive :) In that time, I have had ample opportunity to replace/ modify and or improve upon her already magnificent features. She is now equipped with:
-Old Man Emu HD Springs 2" lift
-Bilstein HD Shocks
-32.5" Military Spec Bias Ply Tires
-HD Axles
-Rear Detroit Locker
-HD drive shaft u-joints
-Dual Battery w/ isolator switch
-Airaid Snorkel w/ Donaldson Pre-filter
-Britland Offroad Bonnet Light Bar
-Surco Roof Rack
-Remote control for isolator switch, and all auxiliary lights
-HD Britland Offroad Winch Bumper
-9000lb winch
-Fold down exterior spare tire holder (full size spare)
In addition to the fantastic memories we have created together, Sheila came with a full 18 year maintenance history. This includes routine upkeep and salon visits, to the occasional visit to her original adoption agency Land Rover of Albuquerque for some more serious repairs. Apparently her previous partner cared for her as well as I have. Like any spectacular woman, Sheila requires care and attention. Below is a list of recent (mostly minor) procedures
Recently Replaced parts include:
-Brakes
-Viscous coupler (for transfer case)
-Fuel Pump
-ABS Pump
-A/C compressor(have not charged with freon yet)
-Heater Core (have not connected return hose)
-Plugs & Wires
-Complete Fluid Change (oil, power steering, diffs, t-case, tranny & filter)
This year marks Sheila's 20th birthday!! I know all you 40 sumthin guys out there are thinking that this is your chance to finally get you hands on a 20 year old party gal in a desperate if not transparent attempt to recapture your youth. Let me explain something.....Rovers age different than people & dogs. They say that every human year is equivalent to 7 dog years. It is a similar circumstance with rovers. Sheila, being one of the very best built, maintained & innovative suv's of all time ages at the rate of 1.5 years for every human year, that makes her age closer to 30. She hasn't even hit her prime yet, but don't you dare look at her and think how sexy she looks, she's not that kind of gal. (ok, you can look...she's sexy as all get out!! What??? its a truck not a person!)
Sheila is in great physical shape for her age as well. Admittedly she is somewhat of a tomboy, so she does have a few scrapes and bruises, the sun has bleached a couple spots on her that are barely noticeable. The interior of Sheila the Range Rover is in decent shape considering how much she loves to play outdoors. there are no rips, dash is good and headliner is sagging a bit.
Like any adolescent Sheila has her moments and quirks. Nothing that is unmanageable. Think of her as an exotic foreign exchange student who doesn't speak perfect English. It may take you a few weeks to get the communication situation established, but once you do, she will never let you down. I'll even give you a few tips on how to keep her happy and deal with her tantrums.
Sheila & I just got back from a fabulous 500 mile journey to Pagosa Springs & Durango Area, we had a blast cruising the scenic highways at 80mph & loved the slower romps up the rocky mountain sides. She even got her feet wet a few times in your brisk flowing mountain streams. I would have no problem making her my travel companion to any destination.
If you are seriously interested in becoming Sheila's new life partner, please contact me with any questions. Please don't waste my time though. Sheila may not be brand new, and she may not be a swimsuit model in perfect shape, but she is worth every penny of her rehoming fee. Of course, she will come with bill of sale and clear & clean title of ownership
****UPDATE: correction, I just discussed the terms of her adoption with Sheila.....she emphatically does not want to go to a Jeep home....says she's too tired to keep draggin their butts out of the mud and such every time they bite off more than they can chew. Plus, she says she has no desire to catch that "Jeep Thing" she keeps hearing about :)
Thanks for looking, please contact me for more pics, detailed description etc.
505.263.2136 calls/text only please.
She is available for sale locally and the auction may end at any time.

Is this a Jaguar or Land Rover of the future? Yes, the near future
Tue, Feb 18 2020Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled a concept vehicle, Project Vector, that the company heralds as preview of future urban transport. The Project Vector is an EV, naturally, and is built on a skateboard chassis with all mechanicals under the floor. That provides for maximum space efficiency in the city-sized vehicle—JLR says it's roughly four meters long, which would make it about half a foot longer than today's Mini Cooper hardtop. It also allows for reconfigurability. The interior is accessed via dual center-opening sliding doors on one side. Four individual seats appear to be mounted on tracks and are shown facing in the same direction, but JLR also says the vehicle can be adapted for delivery use (presumably with most of the seats removed). Project Vector is described as "autonomous-ready," but for now it has a steering wheel and pedals. It's also claimed to be optimized for ride-sharing or private use. The vehicle was developed at the UK's National Automotive Innovation Centre, with the intention to make it a part of the "urban mobility solutions" in the "ecosystem of a smart city," according to JLR. The first such smart city will be Coventry, where an "urban mobility service" will be launched in 2021.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
