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

Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime automotive enthusiast
Sun, Sep 11 2022Since driver's licenses, license plates, and passports were issued in her own name, Queen Elizabeth II didn't need them to drive and travel. She started combining the two just before she turned 19, joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) transport division in 1945 for vehicle mechanic training. She wanted to help the British effort during World War II and would drive an ambulance — one that, theoretically, she could also fix if it broke down. The war ended before she graduated as an Honorary Junior Commander, the other ATS members dubbing her Princess Auto Mechanic. We donÂ’t know if she got under the hoods of the many official state vehicles and the far more numerous unofficial fleet in the royal garages, but she was still driving herself around England as late as this year. Here is a tiny selection of royal conveyances used during her 70-year reign. Gold State Coach (1762) True, she never drove this one, but a tour of every royal garage should start with the coach. King George III commissioned Samuel Butler to build it in 1760. Butler spent two years on the gilded carriage 24 feet long and more than 12 feet high. The quarters are suspended from the frame by leather straps, so occupants get tossed about even during a slow stroll, which is as fast as the eight Windsor Gray horses can pull it. It wasnÂ’t until the 1900s that King George VI rubberized the wooden wheels. Word is the queen didnÂ’t like it.  1953 Land Rover Series 1 Land Rover gave Queen ElizabethÂ’s father, King George VI, the 100th example of the 80 Series off the line in 1948. She picked up the Landie habit for herself five years later, when a 1953 Series 1 with a custom 86-inch wheelbase was part of the fleet used for her six-month tour of the Commonwealth in 1953 and 1954. That Land Rover became Ceremonial Vehicle State IV. The models above were built in Australia in 1958 as near copies of the Commonwealth tour vehicle, when Australia decided it wanted six identical versions for royal service. ItÂ’s thought the royal family went through around 30 Land Rover Series cars and Defenders since then, and many of the most common photos of her have her posing in or near one, especially the 2002 Defender built just for her. The royal family isnÂ’t finished with them, either: A current Defender 110 served as a luggage hauler for family members headed to Balmoral Castle during the queenÂ’s final days.
Jaguar wants to become the British electric company
Thu, Sep 8 2016Jaguar has been telegraphing its electric future for years, and this week we're beginning to see it come to fruition. The company's Formula E race team officially launched September 8 with sponsorship, livery, and an interesting name for its racecar, the I-Type 1. It marks Jaguar's return to factory-supported racing and serves as a model for the company's future strategy. "The Formula E championship will enable us to engineer and test our advanced technologies under extreme performance conditions," Nick Rogers, executive director of product engineering at Jaguar Land Rover, said in a statement. "We will apply this vital knowledge as part of our real-world development." Formula E competition starts October 9 as the all-electric racing series begins its third season. Panasonic signed on as the title sponsor of the team. Formula E is a natural move for Jag and allows the British company to remain true to its racing heritage while still looking toward. The company claims seven Le Mans titles, which is the fourth-most in history, even though it hasn't won one since 1990. That's a great lineage, but Jaguar knows it's getting dusty. Launching a Formula E effort allows it to compete in a form of motorsports that should prove relevant to road-car technology. Jag is drawing on Williams Advanced Engineering (you might have heard of its F1 team) for the electric powertrain. Williams also helped with the development of Jaguar's C-X75 plug-in concept car. Meanwhile, we also captured an F-Pace crossover silently testing this week in the Alps. Though it looks like a normal F-Pace, spy shooters report it was producing no engine noise, leading (or perhaps leaping) to the conclusion it's the rumored electric SUV Jaguar is working on. Likely, this prototype has a diesel engine as a range extender. View 11 Photos Though the camouflaged F-Pace is great fodder for speculation, Jag's electric efforts are not a secret. Jaguar and Land Rover showed off three electric-vehicle demonstrators last year and the company is exploring everything from mild hybrids to full electric powertrains. JLR has filed paperwork to secure trademarks for I-Pace and E-Pace. "JLR is definitely rushing headfirst into electrification," said Ed Kim, vice president of industry analysis for research firm AutoPacific.
Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While 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.
