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The troublesome air suspension system has been replaced by coil spring suspension.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.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime automotive enthusiast

Sun, Sep 11 2022

Since 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 Land Rover considering Mexican plant

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been expanding its production out of the UK and into overseas markets, and according to the latest word from Bloomberg, the British automaker is considering spending more than half a billion dollars to build a new assembly plant somewhere in Mexico. Since the Range Rover Sport and Evoque are two of the company's top sellers in the US, those would reportedly be the most likely to be manufactured at the Mexican plant, although Jaguars could follow as well. The automaker was previously said to be leaning towards a location in the Southern US, and while it could conceivably proceed with plans for both, it would be more likely to go with one or the other. State and local authorities below the Mason-Dixon line have been soliciting the business with various incentives, but lower labor costs South of the Border could prove more attractive to JLR and its parent company Tata. It wouldn't be the first, after all. Over the past month alone, General Motors committed to building the next Chevy Cruze in Mexico, Toyota did the same with the Corolla, Hyundai was reported to be considering a similar step, and Ford announced two new plants in the country amounting to a $2.5-billion investment. Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW and Mercedes have also been delving into Mexican production as well, blazing a path that JLR could potentially follow. The British automaker recently opened a plant in China and another in Brazil, while investing in additional facilities in the UK as well.
