Solid 1991 Range Rover County Short Wheel base. This is a fairly rare, original GREAT DIVIDE EDITION. It is correctly titled and badged as an original GD, #175. There were 409 of these made in 1990, and all were sold as 1991 models ( there is extensive history on the GDs available). There are reportedly less than 200 left according to the LR registry. This GD has been a California RRC all of its life, and as such, the aluminum panels, roof, doors and undercarriage are rust free and solid throughout, making it a perfect candidate for a mild restoration or drive it as it is.
This is a fairly rare, one-year-only model of the GD in the US. I had no intention of selling it, but a sudden job-relocation makes this improbable. Reluctantly, I am posting it for sale here to find it a good Rover home.
This GD comes fully-equipped with the County package ( all Power accessories work, including all four windows, both power seats, hard sunroof and central locking), with the original stock 3.9L V8 engine, heavy-duty suspension revised with OldMan 2" lift set up, EMU springs and struts, Updated front suspension, correct GD optional wheels, original early Land Rover all-metal sidesteps, factory tow package and roof bars. It has 213K original miles, and it runs well.
The automatic transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears. There is NO slippage or grinding of gears. No rearend, axle or bearing noises. The 4x4 system works well into both L and H gearing.
The 3.9L engine received a top-end overhaul about 2 yrs ago. It is tight and not a leaky mess like most. It is completely original, without any modifications from stock, except for an alternator shield and auxiliary PIAA light-back up system pod. The car has had a remanufactured BOSCH alternator replaced, along with a starter, as well as a Beck-Arnley water pump, ABS module and brake pump. Brakes are about 70%. This GD has stock-size radials with fair tread ( about 60% left), mounted on the factory GD alloy wheels. NO front-end vibrations, wobbling or pulling.
The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with absolutely NO rust whatsoever, anywhere in, under or around the car. The body is completely 100% RUST-FREE, as any clean, California car should always be. The original factory finish has held up remarkably well, with no flaking of the clearcoat anywhere, or fading to the roofline, hood or filler front panel. The original Alpine white still retains a beautiful shine despite the passing of years, evident that it has been regularly garaged. It would probably clean up even better with a good polishing.
The interior upholstery is in better than average condition, except the bottoms of both front seats which are in need of reupholstering ( I have an estimate to re-do them both for $300). There are NO cracks, splits, tears or separation of the seams in ay of the remaining seats, and they are all the perforated upholstery, unique to the GREAT DIVIDE models only. The rest of the upholstery, including the other seats and all door panels are in very good shape, clean and with no damage. The factory carpeting is clean, and I had it recently professionally shampooed, along with the trunk carpeting, which is also clean.
Overall, it is a very solid, original Range Rover, and a hard-to-find GD in its fairly original configuration. It has NEVER been in an accident, off-roaded, abused or wrecked. I have listed the car to sell, with a ridiculous $1 opening bid. That being said, I have advertised it in various other venues, and am open to a reasonable, FAIR offer.
To those that like to play games and bid $5 at the time, this is NOT going to be the car for you. To the serious, potential interested bidders, I welcome your bid and any questions you may have concerning the GD. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time, should a serious offer present itself, so bid early and bid often~!
Upon end of the auction, I would like to receive payment within three business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in place and sorted out before placing a bid, in order to make timely payment.
If that means asking your significant other, checking with your boss that you are not getting transferred to Saudi Arabia or checking any significant tornado patterns landing in your home state, PLEASE do so prior to placing a bid and prior to the end of the auction.
Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the CA title and bill of sale to the GREAT DIVIDE, via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise noted. Method of payment can be a cashier's check, or money order(s). Personal, business, C.C advance or annuity account checks may be utilized, but must clear funding before the car is released. Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be sent to my local CHASE bank branch here in town; it allows for faster shipping arrangements and a timely closing of the transaction. Finally, PAYPAL may be used as an alternative if previously arranged between the buyer and seller (me), prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction.
I shall be glad to assist with transportation/ delivery of this Rover to any location, nationwide or overseas. I can make all arrangements for shipping from here to your location, at the most economical shipping rate available.
Feel free to EM or call me with questions at (650) 430-4660 ( no later than 9pm PST, please). Thank you for your interest~!

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents
Tue, Dec 22 2020WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.
