1993 Range Rover Lwb, Sable Edition - With Air Suspension - Rare Land Rover on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:159000
Location:

Valrico, Florida, United States

Valrico, Florida, United States

For sale is my County Sable Edition 1993 Range Rover Long Wheel Base - SALHC1343PA639159. 


Wife finally making me sell my third vehicle to get our garage back - not to mention kid college fund ;)


Air suspension works as it should; never buy a LWB converted to coil springs (trust me, I have owned three).


Only year to have the beautiful Mediterranean Poplar wood trim – just awesome.


Refer to www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/1993.html for all specs. 


Sable model was a $1,500 option introduced mid-way in 1993 model year. 


There were approximately 200 of the models with the Beluga Black paint and "Unique Black Accent CSK Wheels and Dark Sable Connolly Leather Seats and Trim". 


fyi - CSK was introduced to Range Rover in 1991 as a special edition model named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original 2-door Range Rover.


The 1993 County LWB was named "Best New Light Truck or Sport Utility Vehicle " by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).


It was also named "Best Sport Utility Vehicle in North America" by Playboy Magazine.


California model: all 1993s sold in CA had an extra $100.00 charge "For costs incurred by LRNA to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements."


Three owners with first owner having it 18 years, as follows:


>Original owner was dentist in San Fran, CA.; he owned it from 1993 new to approx. 2011 and clearly loved it with many refreshings including the new engine we will go over below.


>Second owner, also from CA, had a few unique range rovers but mostly was involved in a California Porsche club.


>Third owner (me, private seller) - a Land Rover enthusiast that has owned four over the last 16 years (one new Discovery II and three pre-owned RR LWBs, 1993/4/5


I honestly like the 93/4 LWB models better than the 1995 (even though the 95 had airbags with the discovery soft dash).  Why?  The classic dash set up - old school British!


I transported on a reputable car carrier from CA to FL - not driven.


New engine, 4.6, was installed at 112K mileage - a $9K upgrade - see picture of invoice.  Only 45k miles on it - many, many years to go!  See receipt picture


A high performance cam was installed same time as engine to increase performance and drive ability.


fyi - original model’s 4.2 V-8 had 200 HP; the 4.6 has 225 and feels and sounds very stronger (as I have owned two other lwbs). 


Driver side electric seat went out a year ago but believe it could just be a fuse; anyone over 5 feet, 9 inches does not need to move seat anyways. 


The passenger side seems to work ok moving back but lately started having issues moving forward; regardless, due to the uniqueness of classic range rovers, I recommend the new owner keep seats in a standard position at all times (in case they go out).


Heated front windshield and front seats do not work as per normal on rangies but not a huge deal.


Multiple sets of keys and remote key fobs.


Original manual and papers included. 


Tail gate is fine but new owner may want to replace frame with aftermarket aluminum version within five+ years; the tail gates on all rangies have issues as it is a steel component; you can replace the frame reasonably (or the whole glass unit). 


The main body is aluminum and is in great shape except for the passenger door bottom area (four inches) were a patch was done (but cannot really see well) - see picture. 


No wrecks; also, the Paint is original - still shiny too as evidenced by pictures; amazing looking truck that turns heads. 


Connolly Leather has been deeply conditioned four times in last three years; prior to that it is unknown but the leather is very, very nice.  Lexol brand is way to go!


Front seats almost look as if no one sat in them; what impresses me most is how thick the British Connolly leather is on the 1993s. 


Rear seats are almost incredible but there is one area that is a little dry so could later be redyed (6 inch area), etc to get back to normal (albeit unnecessary).


Battery installed late 2012 from second owner.


Tires are new from second owner and are like 95%; they were bought in 2012 by second owner


Expensive fuel filter installed 2014 (tough to replace in back right of vehicle).


I will include a new air filter in its box (for later use).


Sunroof and air suspension operate with no issues.


Headliner was replaced by second owner and is perfect; only the sunroof portion is not 100% - just needs minor regluing (albeit unnecessary). 


The pictures are mostly done in the neutral air suspension position but I have a couple shots showing the high and low profile ride heights. 


Again, never buy a Rangie LWB converted to coil springs as it (1) loses it charm, (2) usually has the car sit too high, and (3) loses its very unique feel (very squishy and I love it).


Front passenger door has the minor issue repaired by first owner - I believe he had opened it into a San Fran curb but you cannot see the patch; it should be corrected only if repainted.


Original manual and what we believe are full records – massive stack of papers including the document for the engine conversion.


iPod port installed by second owner.


Second owner also installed the nice light guards. 


Multi-CD changer. 


Cassette stock radio with a/d/s speakers and subwoofer.


For me, the major draw to 1993 vs 1994 was the Mediterranean Popular wood; they switched to burlwood for 1994. 


Wood is a 9+/10 condition; only the shifter cap is faded and can easier be replaced (if even wanted).


Rare Sable rear cover included; that alone draws major dollars in the aftermarket.


Dash is perfect; zero cracking, etc.; this truck has been cared for and is definitely one that will remain a strong classic for another decade+.


The undercarriage is super clean; it had some type of coating/painting done by a previous owner (but I do not know details).


Air conditioning and heating work as they should. 


No air bags. 


Cup holders are great but if you want more let me know and I’ll include the bolt on ones I took off an old Land Rover Discovery (otherwise I may sell those on ebay for a nice sum).


I know a concern with most SUVs is whether or not a shorter person can get in easily; no worries as the air suspension can be lowered when you park.


Smoke Free by me last two years; no info on owners 1 & 2.


Cruise control not working but that is common issue on these SUVs.


Sold new at British Motors of San Francisco Ca.


It was heavily been dealer serviced and maintained but specialist Roverland in San Francisco has performed majority of services.


This car has been owned by three meticulous enthusiasts that treated the car well. 


LWB is the only way to go for the Classic Rangies; the short wheel bases just don't compare.


Last series of RRs that were old school British (they dropped off with the 1996 model).


H4 headlights.


Serviced factory air suspension by owners one and two; I never had to service it as third owner.


The rangie has a slightly throaty sound from the upgraded NRP after-market exhaust system the second owner installed.


Replaced right front caliper and new brake pads in July 2012.


Factory remote key system works perfectly on one fob but the second one has a dead battery (no big deal to replace).


Other work done by owners two/three: the catalytic convertors, transfer case, front wheel bearings, radiator, water pump, brakes.


The headliner is new; only the sunroof portion has some unstuck glue (easily corrected).  


Second owner installed medium after-market tint (which looks nice with Black paint); this can be removed easily, if wanted.


MESSAGE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

Clean title; I own this SUV out right.

***This is a 1993 so please don't expect a show car - but do expect an 8 out of 10 in my eye - a rangie you will be very proud of***.

2020 Land Rover Defender vs. 2020 Jeep Wrangler: How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 10 2019

For ages, the Jeep Wrangler has had the serious off-road SUV market in America all to itself, especially when it comes to two-door variants. But competition is coming, and the first on its way is the 2020 Land Rover Defender, which was just revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Each packages retro looks and impressive off-road capability, but does one have an advantage? We decided to take a look into each SUV's specifications and compare them on their engines, drivetrains, interior space and towing among other things, to see how they stack up. Since both SUVs are offered in two-door and four-door versions, we've made sure to feature both versions. You can find all the vital stats in the chart below, followed by more in-depth analysis. Engines and drivetrains The Land Rover is the clear high-performance option of these two SUVs. Its base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, offered only in the four-door Defender 110, is more powerful than either of the gas engines offered on the Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler's four-cylinder matches it on torque, at least. The optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six in the Defender makes over 100 more horsepower and pound-feet of torque than either Jeep gas engine. But if you're looking for diesel propulsion, along with its associated torque and fuel economy, the Wrangler will be your only option. Final specs haven't been released, but in the Ram 1500, the same engine makes 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy hasn't been announced for the Land Rover or the diesel Wrangler. But if fuel economy is a concern, the four-cylinder Wrangler is the most frugal of the SUVs we have numbers on. As for transmissions, the Wrangler is your only choice if you have to have a manual. It's available on both the two-door and four-door models, but only with the V6 engine. If you don't mind an automatic transmission, both SUVs come with variations on the ZF eight-speed auto. Getting the power to the wheels is another area where these two SUVs diverge. The Jeep is very traditional with a standard selectable four-wheel-drive system with two-wheel drive, and low- and high-range four-wheel drive modes. On the Sahara, there's an available full-time four-wheel drive mode, but the other modes are still available. On the Land Rover, you get full-time four-wheel drive, the same kind used on the Land Rover Range Rover.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
