         Remarkably clean 1997 Land Rover Discovery Series I. This is the fourth year of the Discovery Series I,  SE-7 model, with the extra fold-away seats in rear. It is fairly loaded with all Power amenities except DVD system. This Discovery also has dual Power sunroofs ( both work fine and DO NOT leak), roof bars and factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed).


No engine issues or other drama. The stock 4.0L engine runs GREAT, and had the heads worked on less than 5K ago, aside from other work to include a new ABS module, alternator, starter, readiator, water pump, O2 sensors, battery, brakes and other usual service items. Additionally, it has had professional lift done in rear, along with many Off-road upgrades, to include:

* Front 4:11 Detroit Locker differential

* Rear 4:11 Open differential

* Lift set-up from RoverLand

* Heavy-duty off-road service jack

* Urethane suspension bushings

* A.R.B super heavy-duty front bumper

* WARN electric winch with remote  inside control

* CB radio with frontal antenna mount

* Off-road tires

* Auxiliary Tow loops

* Rear back-up camera

* Factory taillight guards

* Brushguard ( built-in)

* HELLA 500FF auxiliary lights

* Front lift blocks from Roverland available at no charge

* Excellent sound system


         This Land Rover is and has been a 100% rust-free CALIFORNIA CAR all of its life. It has been locally owned since sold brand-new at Land Rover of San Jose in the south bay, and owned by two owners since. 

There are NO accidents, repaints, or anything other than normal driving conditions around the Bay area, where it has always lived. There are NO signs or indication of damage anywhere on the body, other than some age fading on the roofline ( I have an estimate to match it and refinish it in the factory color for $400 if desired). The rest of the body shines very nicely in its original factory Navy-blue finish.  Moreover, this Landie runs VERY well, tracks smoothly and drives very 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 Power windows, both Power seats, the cruise control, and all instruments and lights. There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or any other lights turned off or reset). The Landie has 189K well-travelled original miles on the strong, reliable 4.0L engine. Absolutely NO 4.6L engine nightmares. 

Considering its vintage, This Discovery I is remarkably clean for its age, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker. In addition, it has had a full brake service performed about a year ago, and all-new off-road radial tires in March.

The interior upholstery is in remarkable shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather. The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area. Rare optional rear foldable jump seats. Nice, clean leather interior upholstery, which offsets very nicely with its glossy factory Navy blue finish. Absolutely ZERO RUST throughout the whole car.
       

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. I am well versed on all the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DI as a VERY solid, straight and completely rust-free example of a Discovery. This Landie sits quietly in the garage at my home, in company of my three other Rovers.

                     The Land Rover has always been a two-owner Land Rover DI since new, and has always been here locally in Northern California. Honest CARFAX REPORT and straight ownership since new. FREE AUTOCHECK report also available at NO cost. CLEAN California title and current registration.

NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition and all its upgraded reflect its investment.
Overall, a straight, very strong-running Discovery I with an extensive amount of upgrades for a reasonable, no reserve opening bid. Needs nothing and runs and drives very well. Serious inquiries only, please. 

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


I Shall be 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 my 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, registration card, bill of sale, service records and factory manuals to the winning bidder for your protection.


       Feel free to EM or call with questions or inquiries. Thank you for your interest~!

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
