Very clean, wonderfully maintained & always garaged 2002 Land Rover Discovery II SE with only 62,000 miles, silver. This vehicle has never been out of warranty & STILL HAS 1 YEAR LEFT ON EXTENDED WARRANTY (expires on 3/02/15 or 85,042 miles) & includes 24 hr Road Side Assistance. All service has been performed by Land Rover Austin. Dual Sun Roofs Dual Power Seats Rear A/C Cargo Cover Rhino Tire Cover Carpeted Floor mats Roof Ladder 18” Hurricane Wheels 6 Disc CD Player Mechanics: Always maintained at Land Rover Austin. 4 New Michelin MXV4, New Master Cylinder, New brakes front/rear, New Battery August 2013, Transmission replaced at 36,000 miles Exterior: Always garaged, so there is very little wear for a 12 year old vehicle. There are a few (very few) door dings, etc. but there are some. Scratches on passenger side behind the rear door. Overall the paint is in great shape and the body is near perfect. Interior: Very, very clean, smoker free vehicle. There are no stains in the interior, neither seats nor floors. We rarely had anyone in the back seats. This is probably the cleanest 12 year old Land Rover to be found anywhere. That being said, there are a few things that need to be pointed out. There are five issues: ·
First, there is a tear in the leather on the
back of the front passenger seat. This
is from folding the rear seat down. A
part of the rear seat actually tears the front seat. I have asked at the dealership and was told
that almost all of these have the same tear (noted in pictures). · Second, there is a tear on the back of the driver’s seat arm rest for the same reason as noted above (noted in pictures).. · Third, on the upgraded, plush carpeted floor mat for the driver, my heel has created a worn spot. But not stains or rips on any of them (noted in pictures).. · Fourth, the hand brake’s vinyl “boot” has begun to flake. Not sure why. This is a readily available part from third party vendors for about $20. · Fifth, the headliner has just begun to sag. But, it does not hang down so much that it is noticeable to anyone outside the vehicle. Overall, this much loved Land Rover Discovery II SE is in outstanding shape. I have done my best to represent it as accurately as possible by pointing out the good, the bad & the ugly. The reserve is set low, below KBB, but do not expect to "steal" this incredibly clean vehicle. I am advertising this vehicle locally, so I may end the auction early. If you have little or no feedback score or negative feedback I will cancel your bid. Bid Early & Bid Often. Thanks for looking!

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
