Thank you for taking a minute to look over our beautiful Rover.  This was intended to be our family 4WD for years and years, as evidenced by the care and attention we've consistently paid to the vehicle.  The primary reason for the sale is due to a recent purchase of a long sought after Syncro Doka TDi.  The secondary reason for the sale is that we simply have too many vehicles at this point and would be thrilled to find another Rover fanatic that will enjoy and care for this LWB as we have done.


We purchased this particular LWB on August 26th, 2009 after an extensive search for a clean one meeting our criteria.  The gentleman who sold us the rig was the 3rd owner, maintained the vehicle very well and didn't take it out of CA the entire time he owned it.  He professionally converted the bags to springs, added the center grill fog lamps and always kept it in the garage.  Sadly, his health issues required the sale.  The vehicle had 91,XXX miles on the odo when we made the purchase.

Since we've been enjoying and maintaining the LWB, we've had it meticulously, and professionally, maintained by a Rover specialist who has consistently provided great service.  Roughly 30K miles ago, a complete head gasket replacement was undertaken without sparing a single expense.  They did a run-through on October 3rd to make sure everything checked out for the new caregiver.  The engine timing was reset and brand new spark plugs were installed.  That's it, everything else was good.

New BFG All Terrain T/A KO LT245/70SR16 tires were installed on January 31st, 2012 with 134,067 miles on the odo.  Plenty of life left in each tire, all of which were recently rotated for the new owner.  The headliner is original and only has one area of slight sag on the passenger side rear as seen in the pics.  Seats are all good and do show signs of acceptable wear but DO NOT have any rips or tears.  Carpet, and mats, are all present and in great shape as we kept rubber mats on top of everything.  Please note a small dark stain in the rear luggage area on the drivers side by where the spare is kept.  Can't recall seeing a cleaner back area in any of the other Rovers we've seen, even the gap between the floor and the gate is intact!

All windows work without issue including the moon roof, all lights work (except 3rd brake light) including blinkers, brakes, etc.  The cassette & 6 disk CD sound system operates beautifully.  No weird shakes, shimmies or pulls at all.  The heated seats and cruise control do not operate.  Electric seats work just fine.  As we do not use salt on the roads in Colorado during the winter, no rust worth mentioning.  Parking brake functions property.  Shifts smoothly and has plenty of power.

There is a slight bit of rust forming on the base of the rear window, the winner of this LWB gets a clean replacement (shown in the pics).  The passenger side fog lamp lens is broken, as is the drivers side front amber turn signal lens.  Small rock chips on the nose might want to be touched up by a paint pen before we get into winter, nothing major.  The front brush guard has a spot of bubbling which has recently started to form, also an easy fix.

Comes with a brand new, still in the box, complete brake rebuild kit FT/R 90/95 RC directly from Atlantic British.  It is not in need of a replacement, just figured it'd better go with the vehicle.  The replacement rear glass & frame are clean, rust free and complete.  The 3rd brake light might even work on this one though I've not tested it.  Two keys, two fobs are also included.  Heated windscreen works as well.  All glass, seals & switches are good.  I'm a bit of an OG geek, everything is as original as possible, including the paint.  Zymol on the outside, Neatsfoot oil on the inside, might want to rub some in their respective areas if only to get to know the rig.  I've also not washed the engine, as you can also see from the pics.

This is as complete a description as I can provide right now although I'm happy to answer any specific questions you may have.  If anything else comes to mind, I'll add the information.

Please speak with your spouse, significant other, parents, parole officer, etc. before bidding if you need anyone else permission to make a decision.  Whomever the winning bidder is, please be cool and honor your commitment to finalize the sale.  There is a $250 deposit to be made within 24 hours of winning the auction, final balance due within 7 (seven) business days.  Happy to help with shipping/delivery so long as it is within reason.  With the USD declining in value, and these growing in popularity overseas, we are willing to assist in overseas shipping.

We're not as motivated to squeeze every last dime out of this Rover as we are to help it find a GREAT home.  Accordingly, we've started this auction at $.99 and without reserve.  That is how confident we are in the LWB's condition and appearance.  Please feel free to set a time to inspect it (or have it inspected) and take it for a test spin.

Bid high, bid often and know this is a special Rover LWB in great condition, truly one of the good ones.  The guy who places his bid after you surely will.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

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.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
