1997 Land Rover Discovery XD. Special Edition Discovery XD with AA Yellow paint. Produced only for the North American market, the Special Vehicles Division of Land Rover created only 250 of these vehicles. Some have estimated there are less than 150 remaining.  I purchased this vehicle preowned through a dealer while it was still under factory warranty. I have owned the vehicle since that time.  I have always run full synthetic oil at 3K mile interval changes.  Vehicle has been used lightly off-road at sanctioned Land Rover Club and Land Rover Dealership “Wheels” events.  Hard to part with the vehicle but I can’t justify hanging on to it with other projects that need my attention and money. I would rather see someone getting enjoyment out of it then sitting in my garage. The engine runs strong and shifts smoothly with only 135K miles (averaging less than 8K miles per year). Vehicle has never been smoked in. I make no claims to this being a perfect vehicle but that said, for a 17-year-old vehicle, it looks and runs great!! Air Conditioning is ice cold. If you know Land Rovers you will know some seeping and leaking is not unusual and this vehicle is no exception.  Most visible leak on a garage floor is the power steering fluid, which is leaking from the power steering box.  The vehicle has been well serviced and maintained primarily at Land Rover Dealerships.  The vehicle has had full seat covers since new so the fabric looks excellent!! Over $5K in accessories and KIT; save yourself the time and money of building one up yourself and take advantage of this well equipped vehicle.  I have owned many Rovers and this has been a great vehicle. Happy Bidding on this rare XD!

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
