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!

resealed, valve covers resealed,
throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil

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!!!

Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too.

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product. Have your say in Comments. Related Video:

From time to time, automakers release special branded watches. Jaguar and Land Rover are no different. The latest from Land Rover isn't particularly remarkable, but one new Jaguar piece is pretty special. Jaguar partnered with British watchmaker Bremont for a line of watches, the most impressive being a 43mm watch that commemorates Jaguar's continuation series of Lightweight E-Types. Like the cars, only six of the watches will be produced, and they will be offered to the owners of those $1.5 million cars. Each watch features a serial number that matches a corresponding car, and the faces have been designed to look like the instruments aboard the E-Types. The same goes for the hands, which look like the gauge needles. The winding crown also has a tire tread pattern that wraps around the sides, with Jaguar's heritage logo on the top. And these timepieces are built with aluminum left over from the continuation E-Types. On the back is the most impressive part, though. Here is where the watch's automatic winding weight is visible. It's shaped like a vintage steering wheel, and the outer rim is made from real wood. The weight keeps the watch and its exclusive Bremont movement wound. If you can't afford this ultra-limited watch, Bremont has a line of other Jaguar watches with many of the same design cues, at prices ranging from less than $5,000 to more than $11,000. The Land Rover watch is a bit disappointing, since it bears little apparent connection to the vehicles. Zenith, the Swiss company that partnered with Land Rover for the piece, claims the design is inspired by the Range Rover. And Land Rover claims a connection in that a British explorer wore the same series watch while completing an expedition with a pair of Range Rovers. There's also the fact that the watch and the SUV are both made of aluminum, but otherwise, the Zenith watch doesn't look particularly automotive. The box sounds pretty cool, though, since it's fashioned from Land Rover wood and upholstery. Related Video:
