This is a 1995 Land Rover Range Rover, soft dash round eye. It has the Brooklands-TRW package. If you Google that, you will find reference to the rarity of this option. More than 1 site says that only 7 of these were ordered in the USA. One site reports the following:

Only 7 in 1995, in the US. ordered with special Body Aero kit designed by Tom Walkenshaw Racing (TWR). The TWR body kit was first introduced back in 1991 on the European Brooklands model that was never sold in North America.

In February 1995 LRNA issued a press release that said: "The TWR kit adds a unique and attractive appearance to the classic Range Rover. The kit is specially fitted at the factory and is available on a limited number of Epsom Green and Beluga Black County Classics." 

I have owned this car since 2006 when I bought it from a fellow Arizonan that had it for 6 years prior to that. This car is my daily driver and has been very reliable. I believe it to be rare, but I really don't know its value, so my loss may be your gain.

This is a no reserve auction.

As you may know, Things do not rust much here. There is no rust, look closely at the photos. There is 1 dent on the passenger side, see pics.I highly recommend a trip out to personally test drive this car. There are more pics available, contact me.
 
Paint is
driver quality, but the top and hood areas are badly oxidized and the vehicle should be resprayed. There is a dent on the passenger side and some paint scratches and cracks. There are Pics of some of the flaws. Please look at the photos closely. I highly recommend that you come drive this car or have a proper inspection done by a trusted person. The scratches and such are visible in the Pics.. The odometer shows just over 178,000 miles. Doors are solid and close with the classic Rover thud. Please ask if you want more pics. Happy bidding!!

The pluses are:

Tires only have a few thousand miles on them. The spare is a nearly new Michelin studded tire, without the studs. I have never had it on the car.

New brakes, rotors and brakes lines.

The troublesome air suspension system has been replaced by coil spring suspension. She rides like a dream.

Fresh tune up with plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor.

Ac works good.

4WD works good.

Transmission fluid and filter changed.

Battery less than a year old.

Nothing but Mobile one oil in engine since I have owned it.


I try very hard to describe the things that I sell, but you need to ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I have 100% PFB all the way back to 1998, so bid with confidence. This car is sold as is and where is, without warranty, expressed or implied. I try to be very honest and describe my items as accurately as possible. Your bid is your word so please act accordingly. I will assist with shipping the car, at buyers expense. I have already shipped a car to Paris France and another to London, England, so I have some experience

International bidders welcome!!!

Happy Bidding!!!

Car is for sale locally and I reserve right to end action early if it sells.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.
