Sheila & I live in Albuquerque. Sheila is available for adoption to a VERY GOOD HOME ONLY. Please read the entire add, and if you are seriously interested in giving her a loving home. I require ALL bidders to contact me at my number listed below. I would like the opportunity to answer any/ all questions with full disclosure to aid in peace of mind for both parties.
Sheila is a 1993 Land Rover Range Rover LWB County Classic w/ 146k miles with a 4.2 V-8. She is not a jealous gal, unlike most rovers....you will not find her marking her territory with bodily fluids everywhere she goes(oil, tran fluid, power steering etc) So if you happen to be a jeep lover and have one parked in your driveway, she wont create a fuss. I cannot speak for your jeep though :)
It should also be noted that Sheila is not nearly as festive as some rovers. You see, I have owned many in my time and quite frankly it is nice when all of your dashboard warning lights are illuminated in a kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, greens and oranges, it feels like Christmas all year long. Sheila's lights do come on when you turn the key (as they should), but inexplicably go dark once she's up and running. I tried contacting Land Rover about this phenomenon, but they told me not to worry, "Sheila, was just secure with her personality and felt no need to be the center of attention"
If you don't have a significant other, Sheila makes a great companion. Together, we have spent many hours bonding. usually with me on my back, and her on top. What can I say, she likes to drive :) In that time, I have had ample opportunity to replace/ modify and or improve upon her already magnificent features. She is now equipped with:
-Old Man Emu HD Springs 2" lift
-Bilstein HD Shocks
-32.5" Military Spec Bias Ply Tires
-HD Axles
-Rear Detroit Locker
-HD drive shaft u-joints
-Dual Battery w/ isolator switch
-Airaid Snorkel w/ Donaldson Pre-filter
-Britland Offroad Bonnet Light Bar
-Surco Roof Rack
-Remote control for isolator switch, and all auxiliary lights
-HD Britland Offroad Winch Bumper
-9000lb winch
-Fold down exterior spare tire holder (full size spare)
In addition to the fantastic memories we have created together, Sheila came with a full 18 year maintenance history. This includes routine upkeep and salon visits, to the occasional visit to her original adoption agency Land Rover of Albuquerque for some more serious repairs. Apparently her previous partner cared for her as well as I have. Like any spectacular woman, Sheila requires care and attention. Below is a list of recent (mostly minor) procedures
Recently Replaced parts include:
-Brakes
-Viscous coupler (for transfer case)
-Fuel Pump
-ABS Pump
-A/C compressor(have not charged with freon yet)
-Heater Core (have not connected return hose)
-Plugs & Wires
-Complete Fluid Change (oil, power steering, diffs, t-case, tranny & filter)
This year marks Sheila's 20th birthday!! I know all you 40 sumthin guys out there are thinking that this is your chance to finally get you hands on a 20 year old party gal in a desperate if not transparent attempt to recapture your youth. Let me explain something.....Rovers age different than people & dogs. They say that every human year is equivalent to 7 dog years. It is a similar circumstance with rovers. Sheila, being one of the very best built, maintained & innovative suv's of all time ages at the rate of 1.5 years for every human year, that makes her age closer to 30. She hasn't even hit her prime yet, but don't you dare look at her and think how sexy she looks, she's not that kind of gal. (ok, you can look...she's sexy as all get out!! What??? its a truck not a person!)
Sheila is in great physical shape for her age as well. Admittedly she is somewhat of a tomboy, so she does have a few scrapes and bruises, the sun has bleached a couple spots on her that are barely noticeable. The interior of Sheila the Range Rover is in decent shape considering how much she loves to play outdoors. there are no rips, dash is good and headliner is sagging a bit.
Like any adolescent Sheila has her moments and quirks. Nothing that is unmanageable. Think of her as an exotic foreign exchange student who doesn't speak perfect English. It may take you a few weeks to get the communication situation established, but once you do, she will never let you down. I'll even give you a few tips on how to keep her happy and deal with her tantrums.
Sheila & I just got back from a fabulous 500 mile journey to Pagosa Springs & Durango Area, we had a blast cruising the scenic highways at 80mph & loved the slower romps up the rocky mountain sides. She even got her feet wet a few times in your brisk flowing mountain streams. I would have no problem making her my travel companion to any destination.
If you are seriously interested in becoming Sheila's new life partner, please contact me with any questions. Please don't waste my time though. Sheila may not be brand new, and she may not be a swimsuit model in perfect shape, but she is worth every penny of her rehoming fee. Of course, she will come with bill of sale and clear & clean title of ownership
****UPDATE: correction, I just discussed the terms of her adoption with Sheila.....she emphatically does not want to go to a Jeep home....says she's too tired to keep draggin their butts out of the mud and such every time they bite off more than they can chew. Plus, she says she has no desire to catch that "Jeep Thing" she keeps hearing about :)
Thanks for looking, please contact me for more pics, detailed description etc.
505.263.2136 calls/text only please.
She is available for sale locally and the auction may end at any time.

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models
Thu, Oct 1 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits
Sat, Jul 4 2015Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating. The figure is for city, highway, and combined driving. The EPA also said the Mirai will have a 312-mile range. The sedan will arrive in dealerships in California this fall and will cost $57,500, though incentives can drop the price significantly. The Mirai will also be offered as a $499-per-month lease. Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later. Toyota's top female exec resigns in wake of arrest Meanwhile, in other Toyota news, the automaker's communications chief and top female executive, Julie Hamp, resigned.
Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now
Mon, Jun 22 2015"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
