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.

Land Rover plotting high-performance Disco Sport, Evoque
Tue, Jan 20 2015Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about performance with its new SVR line of high-output machinery. We've already seen the Range Rover Sport SVR, and we're anticipating more to follow with SVR versions of the new Jaguar XE, Range Rover LWB, outgoing Land Rover Defender and plenty more. The lineup will eventually include performance versions of most, but not all of the British automaker's products. But while the smallest Land Rovers may not get the full-on SVR treatment, JLR reportedly has something in the works. According to Australian website Motoring, Land Rover is watching the segment and considering its options. It sees Audi with its SQ5, BMW planning performance versions of the X3 and X4, and Mercedes plotting an AMG version of the GLC that's set to replace the GLK. The question is just what Land Rover will do. Both the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque are based on the same D8 platform that incorporates transversely mounted inline-fours, so fitting something larger might be prohibitive, but a high-output turbo version of the new Ingenium four-cylinder engine design could do the trick. Considering what the likes of Volvo and Mercedes have managed to do with their high-strung turbo fours, Land Rover's approach could prove to be no slouch at all – even without the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 powering the flagship SVR models. In related news, Autovisie – the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf – projects that an SVR version of the Jaguar F-Type will be among the high-performance models coming up next. Slotting above the F-Type R with its 550 horsepower, the F-Type SVR will be even more powerful. The Project 7 speedster packaged a 575-hp version of the same supercharged V8, potentially pointing the way forward for future SVR models.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover rescues British off-road tuner Bowler
Wed, Dec 18 2019Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicles Operation (SVO) rescued British off-road tuner Bowler from an uncertain fate. The firm has worked with Land Rover in the past, but it has always been independent. While JLR isn't in an ideal position to make acquisitions, and its recent financial troubles are well documented, Bowler was on the brink of shutting down. The small, 34-year old company had entered administration, and the 26 people it employed risked losing their jobs. Monetary details haven't been released, meaning we don't know how much Bowler was worth, but the firm pointed out it's now fully owned by SVO. It joins SV, Vehicle Personalization, and Classic as the division's fourth pillar. It's too early to tell precisely where Bowler will fit in the JLR latticework, because the initial focus will be on stabilizing the company. It will remain based in Belper, England, and every member of its full-time staff has been offered a position as a JLR employee. Bowler made a name for itself by turning the original Defender into a rally car, and Land Rover said the expertise it acquired during decades of racing is highly sought after, so that's a hint we'll see more hardcore models developed jointly by the two companies sooner or later. The new Defender would lend itself well to the Bowler treatment. The Bowler name could replace the SVX nameplate used on the stillborn, V8-powered Discovery, for example. The tuner's focus on off-pavement performance means we're unlikely to see a Bowler-badged Jaguar, but anything is possible as global demand for SUVs (especially quick ones) continues to rise. What's certain is that, once Bowler is stable, it will grow bigger.
