I bought this Rover in 2007 from a Doctor's son after his father that owned it died. The doctor was the orginal owner so it's only a two owner vehicle. It has been my daily driver for the past seven years with a lot of time and money invested. The suv is registered in Oklahoma but is located in Dallas, Texas were I am currently living. I will list all the mechanical parts replaced to give you an ideal of the money that has already been invested. I have purchased another truck for work and limited on storage space but really don't want it setting up and deteriorating, so I would rather sell it and let someone else enjoy the fun of driving this Rover. You will get many compliments on this vehicle and occasional person wanting a pic. It was repainted a 2011 Audi Tiki brown, all the doors were removed and jambs were painted so you will see no signs of the orginal black paint job. The paint job looks good but has a few issues around the door handles but not too noticeable (only up close). A lot of the parts on the inside were replaced with newer looking parts from Car Cannible in Oklahoma City, and Ebay, there are to many to list but can been seen in the pics of it's excellent condition, also the rear pillers are louvered metal painted the suv color and covered with brown vinyl. The interior doors and back cargo area have been sound proof with foil stick on matting to reduce road noise, and the radio has been wired for a ipod connection. All the parts listed are orginal equipment form either Atlantic British our Rovers North. It has ARB medium spring conversion with bilstein shocks. The CV joints have been rebuilt and all the fluids have been changed regularly, and only using Mobil synthetic motor oil. As many Rovers do it does leak a little oil. The headliner was replaced about six years ago and still has a few more left. The only know issues that I would fix if keeping would be the back hatch upper strut support mounts need to be reattached as the wear and tear have broken them lose from the frame. There are no warning lights on and all mechanical electrical working as should with only the cruise control stopped on the way down to Texas. This suv has been adult driven, not abused and is in excellent condition and completely rust free (reason for the higher selling price), it came from California to Oklahoma. If you purchase I would not hesitate to road trip this Rover anywhere! If your looking for a mint, non smoker than please do not bid on this 21 year old suv, but I know for a fact it is one of the cleanest. Please feel free to ask questions as there has been a lot of other things replaced or updated and to many to list all.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus
Fri, Mar 20 2020More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

Jaguar Land Rover gets to work on new university R&D center
Fri, Mar 20 2015Jaguar Land Rover has a raft of new products in the pipeline, from the new Defender to the next-generation XF sedan. But new product isn't the only thing the British automaker is investing in: it's also opening new facilities around the world, including what it's calling the National Automotive Innovation Centre back home in the UK. Based at the University of Warwick, the new $220-million R&D center is the result of a joint effort between JLR, its parent company Tata, the manufacturing arm of the university and the British government. The facility will bring together professionals from the automaker as well as its suppliers with academics to encourage, as the name suggests, innovation in the automotive sector. Its 355,000 square feet are earmarked to become the hub for Jaguar Land Rover's advanced research activities, including "workshops, laboratories, virtual engineering suites and advanced powertrain facilities, equipped to enable a full range of design, visualisation and prototyping activities." The cornerstore was just laid in a ceremony this week, but the facility isn't due to open until the Spring of 2017 when it will encompass some 1,000 employees, including 600 relocated by JLR to the new location from other sites in the UK.
