*****************************************RANGE ROVER FLM PANELCRAFT REPLICA LEFT HAND DRIVE***************************************
If you're like me and you LOVE the style, history and legacy of the Range Rover MKI, then you will no doubt appreciate this rare FLM PanelCraft Range Rover which has all of the distinction you could ever ask for in a vehicle-theres nothing like it in the USA-guarteed to turn heads. This remains today the only car to ever be featured in the Louvre in Paris. This Land Rover is an excellent entry into the Collector Car Market and Land Rover Collector Car Market as well. If you attend Land Rover Rallies you will be the only one with a car like this. This exact car has many online followers here in the US and the UK.

What a journey I have had with this car. It has been a real labor of love and I feel it shows in the detailed parts selection, research and care in building it. I truly love this car and it has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive. I have enjoyed the countless people giving me the thumbs up, other Land Rover enthusiasts tracking me down for questions about this Range Rover and those who want to have their picture taken with it, yes there have been a few. As mentioned before, their are followers of this car through Facebook and the Range-Rover-Classic dot com website as a true one of a kind car. So with heavy heart Im offering this one of a kind FLM PanelCraft Range Rover for sale.

This vehicle is an absolute pleasure to drive. I built it that way. I have three children and needed it to be reliable, steady and safe. It is a great daily driver and has a completely rebuilt, reliable, smooth Land Rover V-8 with only 4,000 miles on it. I sourced all internal and external motor parts from both Atlantic British Limited and Rovers North so all parts are correct and better than original. This entire project was done with care and It all started with purchasing a 88 SWB Range Rover Classic bodied car.

Its the only Range Rover with the same MKI 2-door platform, from the bolt patterns for all the refitting, to the exposed door hinges to the correct chassis length at 100". The wheel base, chassis, motor, all exterior panels are identical so it was a excellent platform in which to start. Immediately after taking delivery, I first completely disassembled the car, searched for parts, sourced records, researched parts and information followed by the acquisition of all the parts and finally rebuilt it.

2-Door Range Rovers are the original and it wasn't until Late July 1981 that they started making them in 4-door with the same wheel base. Through researching "The Range Rover" by James Taylor, I discovered that you could get the car converted to 4-door by various coach builders, like FLM Panelcraft, Monverdi and Wood and Picket. I choose the FLM Panelcraft car to base my build on. Panelcraft converted the most Range Rovers and are actually the basis by which the Land Rover engineers used to build their factory 4-door Range Rover model.

I had a blast finding parts on various sites. All my period correct parts are from 1977 Range Rover 2-door's or FLM Panelcraft Conversion cars and all found from the UK, so I began on eBay dot Uk and worked my way through other UK online parts suppliers such as Holden, John Craddock and Britishparts to name a few good ones. It was a delight to recieve a new part. All parts are from UK spec 2-door Range Rover's. There are many detailed, correct parts.

I started with all 1977 or earlier (76, 75) period correct parts, mostly new old stock (NOS) parts. The first was The Rostyle Wheels, and it rolled from there. These exterior parts included: Raised metal-period correct letters- on front hood and back tailgate spelling R-A-N-G-E--R-O-V-E-R, Wingard Bonnett Mirrors (NOS), aluminum vertical slotted grill, aluminum head light surrounds, 1977 steel bumper with 'Starter motor hand crank hole', UK spec side marker lights/housing (NOS and very rare), rear steel bumper 1977, Scuttle (Range Rover) aluminum badges, exposed gas cap housing (NOS), gas cap (NOS), rear brake/turn signal lights, lenses and housing (NOS), By Land Rover aluminum Badge period correct (NOS), and the last exterior part was the extremely hard to find Drop down aluminum License plate holder. With all these parts on it looked amazing and absolutely period correct. Now for the interior.

This was interesting. Where the exterior required mostly unbolt and bolt on the new old stock parts the interior required some rewiring and thats always interesting on a British Car. While its not complete, I began with these period correct parts: The three spoke steering wheel, Radiomobile radio, Speedometer/Gas/Water Temp Binacle dash, period correct steering cover with period correct signal switches, headlight switches and wiper switches. The Binnacle was out of a salvaged car and the currently reads 78626, THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT REFLECTION OF THE MILES ON THIS CAR. This rebuilt car has 4,000 miles on it. I did not want to take apart the odometer and left it as it is. A complete new center lower dash with Oil gauge, Clock, Oil Temp gauge, and Voltage. The lower dash also included the Heater switches and period correct heater switch cover and instructional plate on how to engage the center locking differential. The interior Spare tire cover is a crazy hard to find NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) Vinyl tire cover. At this point I required a bit of research as to what to do with the power window switches and the auto selector. After painstakingly searching the web, I found a Company that used to covert manual Range Rovers to Automatic transmission (JANSPEED). I actually found the period correct gear JaneSpeed selector cover!! That was an awesome find. In regards to the power window switches, I based my box on the PanelCraft 4-door conversion that also featured power windows and made the exact same box that houses the switches. At this point, I felt it time to address the motor. For this I could rebuild it to be an efficient, reliable and fuel efficient motor.

I completely rebuilt the 3.5L; period correct, engine down to the block. The Motor has 4,000 Miles on it. For this new parts where sourced from Atlantic British and these included New: pistons, piston rods, Bearings, cam, planing the block and heads, steering pump, oil pump, water pump, timing chain, tappets, and all nuts, bolts, hoses and belts. The motors produces the original 150-155 BHP. Its extremely smooth motor and runs very nice. It currently has 4,982 miles on the new motor. I used break in oil for the proper amount of miles; 900 miles, then changed it to Conventional 10W40 and I suggest you do the same. Its a older designed motor and synthetics are- and this sounds funny- too slippery. Ive always used Amsoil in my other cars but for conventional I recommend, Castrol or Mobile. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS and in a Land Rover product that is extraordinary. When I removed the engine I used POR15 satin black To treat the interior firewall, chassis and motor compartment. POR is fantastic and is used to prohibit rust from developing.

The body is straight. The aluminum panels are rust free. The metal underneath the aluminum panels have been treated and are currently rust free.

On the chassis/suspension, I have replaced the four coil springs with New Old Stock (NOS) 2-door Range Rover coils to give the correct stance. The spring rating is a 1/4 ton. All Bushing have been replaced: The self leveling strut bushings, rear bushings, new rear panhard rod bushings, all front bushings, new panhard rod bushings front, steering linkage, new pitman arm, new lower tie rod ends, new upper tie rod end, new steering box, new steering damper and tires. These parts have 5,000 miles on them.

The Brake have been replaced in 2011 and will not need replacing. The discs, calipers and pads are new.

I have identified just about all of the facts regarding improvements made but I am happy to answer any questions that you may have as well.
I am confident that this vehicle will serve you no matter what your plans are for it and it is one of a kind, it will do so with all of the distinction and performance that no other Range Rover has! It has been a part of my family and we all will greatly miss it, but its time for someone else to enjoy it and continue its legacy.

Jaguar Land Rover looks to hire hundreds of laid-off tech workers

Sun, Nov 20 2022

LONDON — Laid off tech industry workers in Britain could find a new home at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), as the 100-year-old luxury carmaker looks to hire hundreds of engineers to help develop electric car technology. The carmaker, which wants to become an "electric-first" business from 2025, on Friday announced a jobs portal for displaced tech workers to fill 800 roles spanning self-driving, electrification, machine learning and data science. The company said it believed workers leaving big tech groups like Amazon were most likely to have the required skills to fill new roles in Britain, Ireland, the United States, India, China and Hungary. The majority of the jobs will be in Britain. The hiring drive comes after thousands of layoffs in recent weeks at U.S. tech firms including Twitter, Meta and Amazon, some of which have offices in London and Dublin, Ireland. "Our digital transformation journey is well underway but being able to recruit highly skilled digital workers is an important next step," Chief Information Officer Anthony Battle said in a statement. JLR last year announced an electrification strategy under which all Jaguar cars would be fully electric by 2024 and an electric option would be offered across its entire portfolio including Land Rover. The company is owned by India's Tata Motors. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
