Introduction:
If you’ve been looking for that perfectly serviced, low
family ownership, ultra clean Discovery II 7-Seater, your search is over! This is an AWESOME truck… it joins the best
of both world: All the options and refinement of the Disco 2’s – including rear air suspension! – but as it’s an
SD7, so it also boasts more overall reliability than its more equipment
burdened cousins. I think you’ll find
that with a truck like this flaunting over $7000 of recent retail servicing,
jumping on it should be a no brainer!
Service and Reliability:
As a Land Rover technician whose passion for the marquee
inspires my dedication, I always use the best genuine parts and expert skill
with their fitment. The following is a
list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is
as enjoyable as possible!

value 120K original miles, Clean California title in
hand, passed new stringent California Star-Smog certification with flying
colors. Excellent CARFAX history.
Styling and Options:
The SD7’s were all business – they featured all of the
legendary updates that made the Discovery II’s what they are, and yet – they
are designed to be as field ready as you would hope from a truck in the Land
Rover line-up.
As I’m sure you can see from the pictures, the Alpine White exterior is BLINDINGLY
gorgeous. The paint is still smooth to
the touch and will be forever. The
Alpine White colour was the ONLY Rover colour that was formulated to resist the
battering of harsh sun-bleached climates around the world. You will never have to worry about fade; as
you would with nearly any other colour.
The Bahama Beige seats
are in excellent condition; soft, clean and perfectly working. All power seats work as they should; as does
the rear split-folding bench, as well as both of the 3rd row jump seats and
folding head rests.
The factory running boards are near perfect, the front
bumper has no chunks missing, both front wheel brake vent scoops are still
intact and the rear folding cabin step tucks away as it should!
The rugs are still clean, plush and odor free. This was a non smoker vehicle and it shows
from the second you get into it. The Brand New headliner rounds out that
feeling of factory freshness and she even smells like a new car inside.
The best part about the cabin for me is the non-sunroof
interior. It protects both drivers and
passengers from blistering sun – where the retractable sunroof screens on other
models don’t quite do the job. You have
a roof that will never leak, you have a cabin with more head room, and when
summer heat is at its worst, the SD’s will ALWAYS stay much cooler inside.
Performance and Operation:
As you would think, this truck performs brilliantly. It does not overheat, tick, knock, stumble,
or hesitate at all. There are no warning
lights, and no stored codes. It is all
power, all go, all guts, from the second you turn the key. This truck was really combed over to be the
best it can be. All electrical windows,
seats, sunroofs, doors, lights work perfect.
The steering is crisp, the suspension is tight, and the drivetrain has
been fully serviced making it totally reliable. The next-gen HVAC AC and HEAT work great and
with its recent service, the AC is ear-lobe and knuckle freezing cold!!!!
With selectable SPORT mode, you can launch onto the
motorways with total confidence. There
are no shimmies, shakes, or wanderings of any kind. The ride – partly due to the rear EAS – is rail
road like in quality. No clunks or bumps
– just a smooth, quiet, reliable ride you can feel. Have another look at the highlighted shots
featuring standard ride height and max ride height: there is NO LEAK DOWN
whatsoever.
Let’s talk about Rear
Air Suspension. This feature is the
advanced version of the EAS that was originally developed by Land Rover In
1993. It is more robust and reliable
than older models and works perfectly.
For most people it is great for two reasons – A) Towing. It will automatically level your ride height
when pulling a trailer as opposed to a normal vehicle that collapses and does a
wheelie with your camper in tow. B) Enhanced comfort. As mentioned, you will absolutely notice a
difference when you hit speed bumps, pot holes, and crowned roads/dip
crossings. This is especially nice for
your 3rd row passengers!!!
Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me:
No one puts a Land Rover together better than me,
PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and
the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and
service are poured into every Rover that I see into new hands.
All too common are
sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service
and nothing else. Leaving maintenance
work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following
reception of the vehicle. Beware of
any vintage Rover that does not share the same service points as the ones I
advertise with my trucks. They are
ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Classic without these services are
ticking time bombs. I am not a Land
Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic.
I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and
even RACE the green oval. I understand
ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy
based on a simple, yet powerful concept:
DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY?
WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care.
I know you do, too.
Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints,
they go to the farthest reaches of the planet.
They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and
currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to
Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to
receive it! The point here is, I believe
in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership. Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m
sure you’ll be impressed. I have A LOT
of copy-cats out there. If you aren’t buying
one from me… its, well, NOT from me even though other sellers go so far as to
“cut-n-paste” my listings!!!
While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are
not immune to future service needs and flaws.
They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as
the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old. Case in point on this truck, the pictures
display a host of parking lot variety dings and bangs; but nothing in my
opinion that takes away from its overall quality and reliability. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS
NOW! There are no queries too obscure;
your satisfaction is the goal here.
Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to
verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON.
Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION.
Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that
satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. There are no warranties offered here, but
that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that
should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a
coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, etc – I will
be happy to send you what I have available at that time.
This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you
are prepared to pay. This means, when
the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE
of the vehicle. Under no circumstances
does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually
want it. Do not spoil their chances at
ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes,
everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower
transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any
insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids
from and block that insincere bidder from this auction.
Completion of this transaction is fairly straight
forward. Once the auction is over, I
will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to
finalize the transition.
Who is this truck for:
Great question!
First – anyone looking for a reliable & clean D2 7-Seater. Beyond that, it can be a great 1st
car, weekender, guest vehicle, daily driver, or build platform for an excellent
off-road expedition truck. She’s as
versatile as she is reliable. Whatever you decide to do with it, it is most
certainly up to the task. Snow season is
coming, back to school time is here – where will you find yourself in this
awesome D2? Best of luck and Happy
Rovering!!!

It's been some time since last we visited with British actor and electric car proponent Robert Llewellyn and his web-based video series, Fully Charged. The show, now sponsored by Ecotricity, has started rolling out its third season and now has available two episodes featuring a pair of truly unique – and diametrically opposed – vehicles. The first installment starts with some interesting numbers involving the host's Nissan Leaf and its energy consumption over the past 36,000 miles, but soon moves on to the ultra-aero, ultra-expensive Volkswagen XL1. Now, if you've already seen the footage from our own XL1 first drive review, there's not a lot new here except, perhaps, more enthusiasm and a better listen of the two-cylinder diesel kicking in. Still, it's a great reminder of a truly unique vehicle and we enjoyed the segment. The second episode features an electrified Land Rover Defender 110. This is a vehicle you'd more likely see on an African safari than at the local mall. It's not a home-built conversion either, but rather, something the company has put together "for the boffins to create the ideas and see if they work." Boasting a 50-mile range, it's certainly something we like to take on an off-road adventure. Llewellyn is given the chance to do just that, and though the course is somewhat milder than what we might attempt, it does feature a stretch of river and some rough, rutted tracks. You can watch both episodes by scrolling below let us know which vehicle you'd prefer in the comments. This writer is going with the four-wheel-drive. This content is hosted by a third party.

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot. CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

Jaguar is making a big transition to become an electric-only car company. The switchover is meant to kickoff in 2025, and by 2030, Jaguar says 100% of its vehicle sales will be of electric models. Land Rover is taking a similar route, but to a lesser extent. The British off-roading brand says that it will introduce six pure electric variants in the next five years, with eyes on 60% of its sales being of electric models by 2030. Its first all-electric model will arrive in 2024, JLR said. An Automotive News report cites CEO Thierry Bollore, saying he expects "almost zero" production of cars with internal combustion engines by 2039, making that the theoretical end date of Land Rover vehicles with ICEs. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said on Monday the Jaguar brand will lead the way with a fully-electric model range built on a brand-new electric platform. The Land Rover EVs are to be built on a separate electric vehicle architecture to provide for "two clear unique personalities." The Land Rover EVs are said to be finding homes on both the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) and Electric Modular Architecture (EMA). Both support combustion engine layouts and full EV layouts, but the latter is said to be more biased toward EVs and to exclusively support "advanced electrified ICE." Both brands will be taking advantage of technology from within the Tata Group (JLR's owners) to make this transition happen. There's limited information on the future of certain models for the time being, but Jaguar did say that its previously-planned XJ replacement will no longer have a place in the brand's lineup. That said, Jaguar says the nameplate might stick around, with the assumption it could be used on an all-new future EV. Additionally, Automotive News reports that Jaguar will transition away from SUV-style vehicles, citing Bollore — the theory being that Land Rover takes over and completely fills that space in the future. We'll be wondering about what will become of the F-Pace and E-Pace. Our biggest Jaguar question concerns the F-Type, though. Will we get a fully electric version of the sports car in the future? Jaguar didn't address it, but we certainly hope so. JLR said that as it electrifies its model range, it will keep all three of its British plants open. But Bollore, who took over as chief executive in September, said the carmaker's Castle Bromwich plant in central England would focus on "non-production" activities in the long term.
