             Remarkably clean 2001 Land Rover Discovery Series II. This is the third year of the Discovery Series II, and an unusual LE model. It is a super-straight, totally RUST-FREE DII throughout, to include chassis, undercarriage, roofline and gutters, door panels, fenders, quarter panels, door sills, rocker panels and tailgate areas.

 This is a TWO-OWNER DII, originally sold at Land Rover of Encino in Anaheim, in Southern California, where it lived until 2004 when it relocated to Placerville, in the central Valley. A CALIFORNIA LAND ROVER ITS WHOLE LIFE until now. Original purchaser owned until sold to the second owner, a computer designer in San Ramon in late 2012. Completely stock and original. NO towing, NO off-roading, One minor accident reported ( the right front plastic is somewhat bruised as pictured) and NO issues. FLAWLESS CARFAX report, and it scores 50 out of  30-54 rating.

It is fairly loaded with most Power amenities except DVD system. It also has the very desirable Central Differential Lock ( CDL), unique to only a couple of years in the DII, this being one of them. This Discovery II has the dual Power-sunroof option ( both work fine and DO NOT leak), roof bars, unique KALAHARI alloy wheels  and factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed). 

               Stock, reliable 4.0L BOSCH engine. 171K original freeeway miles. Less than 1000 miles on a complete top-end rebuild, to include:

Cylinder heads hot tanked and magna-fluxed

Resurfaced cylinder heads

3-angle valve job

New head gaskets

New valve cover gaskets

All-new exhaust gaskets

New shims

New seals

New Plenum intake kit revision

No engine issues or other drama; the powertrain runs GREAT. This Discovery II runs and drives VERY well and drives nicely both in town and in the highway.

All Power accessories work well, to include its ICE-COLD Air Conditioning system, both Power sunroofs, all four Power windows, both Power heated seats, both Power mirrors, and all instruments, heater/defroster, horn, its factory CD player and all lights.

There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or HDC lights turned off or reset). 

 Considering its vintage, This Discovery II is remarkably clean, and the photos do not do it justice~! The 2001 SE is one of the best years to own. It is turn-key, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker. 



              The interior upholstery is in remarkable shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather. Very rare, special-order Two-tone upholstery. The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area.

Clean headliner, without any significant sagging, staining or damage.  Beautiful Forest-Green finish shines nicely, and looks very sharp. No blemishes, fading nor oxidation of the clearcoat or finish, to include the roof and hood areas. Nice factory-optional 18" KALAHARI alloy wheels with radial tires mounted on them; they have approximately 90% tread all around or better. 


              Feel free to EM or call with pertinent questions or serious inquiries. I can be reached at (650) 430-4660, no later than 9pm PST, please.

I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. While I am not a mechanic, I am an avid Land Rover enthusiast ( I own four others) and consider myself fairly well-versed on most of the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DII as a VERY solid, straight and rust-free example of a Series II Land Rover Discovery.

 Honest CARFAX REPORT. CLEAR title. NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition reflects it.


        Overall, a super-straight, good-running and good looking DII with the 4.0L engine, thorough top end rebuild, ready for trips, off-road excursions or runaround vehicle,  with a reasonably opening bid and no reserve.  Runs and drives well and it looks very nice. 

* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should a serious offer or a BUY-IT-NOW offer present itself.


I am glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Discovery.


              Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to the local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Upon receipt of payment, I will overnight the title and Bill of sale to the winning bidder.


Finally, PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction. If you have a ZERO rating, you MUST contact me in advance, prior to placing any bids. Not doing so will get you blocked and prevented from any further bidding in my listings. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Please ensure that your source of funds is in place BEFORE placing a bid or making an offer. We are all adults here; let's not engage in silly games because it is counterproductive and a waste of time for all.


       Thank you for your interest~!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Jaguar Land Rover output at two UK plants hit by chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

LONDON — Output at two of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) British car factories will be temporarily halted from Monday, due to COVID-19 supply chain disruption, including a lack of semi-conductors, the firm said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors-owned company said. The COVID-19 pandemic has driven up demand for semiconductor chips for use in electronics like computers, as people worked from home, and suppliers are struggling to adjust, hitting output at many automakers. Trade flows have also been affected. On Wednesday, carmaker Stellantis said it would replace digital speedometers with more old-fashioned analogue ones in one of its Peugeot models, as the fallout continues. Renault's finance chief said on Thursday that car production fell by tens of thousands of vehicles in the first quarter as a result of the shortage. Output at JLR's third British car factory in Solihull, central England, will continue, the company said. "We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimize the impact on customer orders wherever possible."  

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list

Thu, Nov 18 2021

J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation.  Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris:  Subaru  WRX and  Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma  Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."   Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
