The body- There is no rust at all and the Rover is extremely straight for the age and the paint is 100% original. All of the doors including the rear cargo door have been removed, broke down to the frame and door skins removed; all rust removed, fabricated new metal frames, and welded back together. The 2 front doors now have brand new rocky mountain door tops and seals between the door top and the top of the door. All doors have new defender style one piece weather strip / seals now they all close properly and flush with the body. The windows all have new window tracks made by rocky mountain in Vancouver BC. Windshield is in great condition. The front vents have new seals and open and close as intended to provide plenty of fresh air to the cabin.  
The frame- was inspected from front to rear and no rust was found so it is the original frame but the entire frame was primed with a rust inhibitor and painted with an under coating. No repairs were needed to be made to the frame. The front side of the bulkhead after repair and seal was sprayed with ALS bed liner red in color Polyurethane.
The axles- front and rear inspected and all seals replaced. This rover has a Salisbury rear axle which can handle the toque of the 200TDI engine on the freeway.
The engine- 200TDi had only 95000k on it but it sat in storage for a long time so when pulled to install found that it needed a total rebuild as water had got into the cyl 1 and 2. Engine was torn down to the last bolt and nut and machined and resurfaced and installed all new parts inside and out and balanced engine via machine shop with all new seals from top to bottom and put back together by Caseys custom in Oregon and now it Starts every time on the first try and doesn’t have any issues running at all and it is as smooth as it can be with plenty of torque and a lot better performance than the original 2.25 LT petrol engine.
The transmission- was checked before the 200tdi was installed and it is smooth in all gears and does not grind or crunch ever. The clutch catches exactly the way it should.
It has no power steering but it is recommended it should eventually get a power steering using the P38 Range Rover conversion. The suspension is tight and there is no floating sensation over bumps or during turns have new tie rod ends installed with the steering dampener / absorber.
It has 4 brand new Rocky Mountain Parabolic heavy duty springs. 4 new pro-comp shock absorbers and bushings installed. Brand new custom made 2.00 inch exhaust pipes and Magnaflow Muffler tucked away high under the chassis for clearance and wrapped with Summit racing heat wraps coming out the left side of rear 1/4.
The interior- The seats are all looking new with no cuts or worn spots and the dash is in excellent condition. Rear cargo opposed seating for 4 to 6 people. The bulkhead was totally refurbished with new RHD & LHD footwells welded; new front door pillars both sides, both front door pillar bottom brackets, both sides top corner bulkhead repair piece. Floors are all 100% percent solid and the rear cargo floor sheet metal was replaced. All new cross beams under rear cargo tub, under seat support beams, rear floor support top hats. All of the rear and front signal lights and side markers assembly have been replaced with complete new housings, wiring and bulbs. The 4 safari roof vents function normal.
VIN- This Rover was brought in from UK into Vancouver BC Canada and then sold to the previous owner to me into Washington State. When it was imported into Canada the Canadian rules required the Rover to have a longer digits  in the VIN number so one was issued to the Rover and it is stamped and tagged into the door post on driver side by the Canadian customs. Have all proper documents from Canada and a clear Washington State title with 2 VIN numbers one original from production in 1983 and one from Canada.  The VIN from Canada is
2BG611296BA184764. Recent services completed and have extra oil, fuel filters too for spare. Hub seal kits front and rear.

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)

Thu, Sep 30 2021

Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.   No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
