Mint 1994 Range Rover County Lwb on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
|
You will be hard pressed, especially on the Eastern Coast of the USA to find a cleaner, more original '94 LWB. The County has always been my wifes favorite... a few years ago, this Range Rover was sitting next to a yacht in a marina here in Maine; wearing California plates. I walked up to the eighty year old gentleman and casually said, "if you ever want to sell this, I would buy it". He stood up and said "lets do it" & I drove it home. I have owned the truck for three years & am in the process of clearing out my entire collection of cars and motorcycles. This is one of the last of fifteen vehicles to hit the auc tion block. This near mint, collector quality LWB has just over 82,000 fully documented miles. She was delivered by enclsoed truck every year back and forth from Maine to Californa... she has never seen salt or snow & her documentation is second to none. Condition... Near MINT. I am an avid automobile collector and have never seen a LWB as good as this example. I have not detailed the car for the photos included in this auction so its not the typical auction where the owners sprays the car with Armorall to make it look good for the auction. This truck never see's rain, snow or sun & is always kept in a heated shop. We drive the car no more than 2500 miles a year in sunshine only. She could use a clay bar buff and there are a few very small dings that I have not had pulled yet. I did however have my ding puller guy examine the car while working on another for me & the few small dings can be pulled & there will be no evidence of the dings. They are very difficult to have show up in the photos. As you may know, the entire body is aluminum so corrosion is not an issue except for the typical spot welds Range Rover issue in the taillight assembly. Land Rover used an aluminum panel against a steel bracket and this area on the tailgate tends to be vulnerable for these old classic Rovers. This particular rover has some slight corrosion at the spot welds and this can be fixed easily by driling out the spot welds and repainting the area around the tail lights. This is the only corrosion on the truck with the exception of the rear bumper that has some slight surface rust as shown in one picture below the 'County' logo. This will be a one hour repair for a body shop to respray the bumper. There is NO pitting, just surface rust that needs a sand & quick respray. The front ARB bumper is brand new; I never got around to buying or installing the winch. The interior is phenominal... The mats were not in the Rover when I took the photos as the carpets were just steam cleaned... but the original wool mats are in fantastic shape. All the glass is near perfect, including the rear tailgate glass which was replaced two years ago from Rovers North. All the guages work, everything electrical works inside and out as it should except the heated seats dont quite put out the heat I need but I havn't driven it in the winter so it has never been an issue. All the leather is PRIMO, still supple and just about perfect. Headliner is perfect. The cruise control does not work, never has but it just needs a new control unit. The truck, inside and out is completely original except for the ARB bumper. We replaced the bumper as we have a camp in Northern Maine where there are so many moose, that you need protection from a collision. Never had a collsion with a moose, but the front end of the truck is ready. The catylitic converter has a slight rattle to it once in a while. It is an internal baffle; being so old... I would just cut out the converter and run without one rather than replacing. The Rand Rover also leaks a few drops of oil when parked; there isn't a classic Land Rover on earth that doesn't leak a few drops so it is something one just has to get used to if you own an old Rover. If I have taken a picture of one tire for example, the other are in the exact same conditoin... same for the wheels, wheel arches, etc. Please email me with any questions and I will repsond promptly. In summary, in order to make this RR one of the best of the best; it will need a few dings pulled, respray the rear bumper & address the issue of the corrosion in way of the pop rivets in the tail light assembly. Unfortunately, this pop rivet situation is the case with all of the classic RR's. Again, after years of looking...I dont think you will find one in this condition, documented as such & with only 82,000 original miles. A day's worth of minor touch up work & you will own the finest SUV ever made. Would be perfect on the Vinyard, some estate or crusing the woods. MY APPOLOGIES TO EVERYONE.. I DELETED THE AUCTION LAST NIGHT BY MISTAKE.

Jaguar Land Rover proposes seats that scientifically massage your butt, for your health
Thu, Jan 16 2020Habitually sitting too long can degrade a person's health. Scientific research has proven that dormancy can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, deep-vein thrombosis, and metabolic syndrome, according to the Harvard Medical School. Although sitting can be avoided in many cases, such as using a standing desk at work, taking a seat is the only option when hopping in the car for a drive. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is hoping to address this negative aspect of cars with a new high-tech seat that the company says mimics the act of walking. JLR calls the concept a shape-shifting, or morphable, seat system, and it is currently in a trial period with Jaguar Land Rover’s Body Interiors Research division. Using actuators built into the seat's foam, the seat will constantly be in motion with micro-adjustments that can be tuned to the needs of different people and body types. JLR believes it has created a system that recreates what is known as pelvic oscillation, a motion that can supposedly trick the brain into thinking the body is walking. In addition to helping to prevent internal health issues, JLR also notes that a sedentary lifestyle can degrade and shorten muscles in the legs, hips, and rear. If these muscles are worked on a regular basis, the chance and risk of injury and back issues could potentially be reduced. The new seats are just one of many car interior technologies JLR has explored. In the past, we've seen tech that tracks brainwaves and heart rates, creates augmented reality, helps prevent motion sickness, and helps stop the spread of germs. They've also taken the time to have an expert demonstrate the perfect seating position. Most of this stuff is experimental for now, but it's possible similar features could eventually trickle down to production cars, in time. See how the seat moves in the video below. Related Video:  Â
Jaguar Land Rover to upgrade Castle Bromwich plant to build EVs
Fri, Jul 5 2019LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover is making a multi-million pound investment to build electric vehicles in Britain, in a major boost for the UK government and a sector hit by the slump in diesel sales and Brexit uncertainty. Britain's biggest car company, which built 30 percent of the UK's 1.5 million cars last year, will make a range of electrified vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in central England, beginning with its luxury saloon, the XJ. "The future of mobility is electric and, as a visionary British company, we are committed to making our next generation of zero-emission vehicles in the UK," Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Friday. The announcement gives a boost to Britain's automotive sector hit this year by Honda and Ford's plans to close factories. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has highlighted the dangers of a no-deal Brexit and the need to maintain frictionless trade with the European Union, echoing warnings from the industry that just-in-time production could be hit by customs delays and additional bureaucracy. But it has signed a deal with workers at the Castle Bromwich factory to go from a five-day to a four-day working week with the same amount of hours which should allow the plant to operate more efficiently. Three of JLR's four European car plants are in Britain, giving it limited capacity elsewhere on the continent. The other, in Slovakia, only opened last year and is still being ramped up with other models allocated there. "We are making this investment because the ongoing Brexit uncertainty has left us with no choice, we had to act, for our employees and our business," JLR said. "We are committed to the UK as our home and will fight to stay here but we need the right deal." Both candidates to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, have both said they are prepared to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 without a deal, although it is not their preferred option. Brexiteers have argued that the EUÂ’s biggest economy Germany, which exports hundreds of thousands of cars to Britain ever year, would do its utmost to protect that trade Friday's announcement comes after a turbulent few months for Jaguar which announced around 4,500 job cuts earlier in January and posted a 3.66 billion pound ($4.5 billion) loss in 2018/19.
