1998 LSE 50TH ANNIVERSARY 4.6L 7-Seater!!! Overview: This vehicle is awesome. How do you take an exceedingly rare, well kept, low-mile Land Rover and make it better? Reset the clock with a full service profile and give it the engine all Rovers should have had in the first place – the legendary 4.6L Rover V8! Interested? Well read on my friends. I have a lot to say about this truck and when all is said and done, you’ll have to get your gloves on because everyone is going to want it! Service History: As a Land Rover Master Tech, reliability is my first objective… ALWAYS. The following is an exhaustive list of performed service points done previously by the owner as well as the most recently done with me. The list covers all critical areas for the vintage. Here are the highlights:
Build Concept & Operation: This truck is a BLAST to drive. If you have never experienced a 4.6L converted Rover before, it is something that all enthusiasts lust after. Here’s why: unbeatable performance, fuel efficiency, and total bragging rights. This LSE was already awesome. …and then I had a 4.6L hanging around that needed the right truck and this one was it! Here’s why: The LSE editions were the flagship of the Rover line in 1998. They came with all the aesthetic refinement available at the time. Their Range Rover brethren however were offered the additional option of amazing power. This is the fusion of both ideals. All that power of the HSE P38 as the heart of this already amazing Disco. I LOVE that this thing is a Luxury truck, with a monster engine making it a total performance sleeper. To me, it echoes the ideology of the Jaguar XJ V12’s. Total refinement and peerless aggression once the gas is hit! Fire this thing up and you have the steady pulse of a healthy V8 with no ticks, knocks, stumbles or hesitation of ANY kind. Drop it into drive, hit the gas and you are GONE. Punch it getting onto the freeway and the true nature of this thing reveals itself. You launch onto the freeway before you can even say “Help me Lucas!” With this 4.6L serviced as it has been, you easily cruise at 85mph at 2600rpm. The 4.0L motor produces 80mph at around 3000rpm. So what does this mean? The motor works less, to give you more, opening up a powerband unavailable with the 4.0L. She cruises straight and true with no wanderings of any kind. Take a long looping freeway interchange at speed and the suspension is plush and assertive, giving you a feeling of total control and comfort. All switches and controls work great; windows, doors, sunroofs too. The AC has been overhauled and cools the cabin down quickly and the heat blasts nicely on cold toes after a morning surf. There are no check engine lights or any illuminated warnings on the dash. Body, Chassis & Coachwork: This thing looks as good as it ever has. The Lightstone Leather interior is as soft and clean as you’d hope it to be with any wear resembling the perfect fit of your favorite baseball glove. All woodwork is dark, and the rugs and mats are clean, with the pile still factory plush with all “Discovery” branding clean and legible. The headliner is brand new and with the full-service professional detail, she smells like a new car. It has always been a non smoker vehicle and it gives you a sense of factory freshness that would be lost otherwise. The jump-seats make it an available 7 seater and as typical with most SoCal trucks, they were fitted as an accessory only and were clearly never used. They are in excellent shape. The paint is in great condition, shines up beautifully as pictured, but like most older Californian’s who have spent a life in the sun, it has its share of surface blemishes and marks that I would consider otherwise acceptable for the vintage. All paint-matched accents are in great condition and the chrome bumpers shine perfect with no pitting or blemishes. That said, the vehicle is another wonderful rust-free California example with all jambs, hinges, seams, pans, bulkheads, welds, arches, etc in as pristine condition as you’re gonna find. One of the nicest things about the 50th Anniversary LSE’s were the optional “Boost” wheels – offered only on NAS Defenders of the same vintage. These wheels are HIGHLY sought after and perfect sets of 5 (such as these) still sell for over $1000! Additionally, these were the ONLY wheels made for Land Rover outside of England. They were crafted in Italy in limited quantity for these special editions ONLY. Purchasing, Perspective & Why Buy From Me: No one puts a Land Rover together better than me, PERIOD. It’s the vehicle I drive, and the vehicle I RACE. Nearly two decades of Rover ownership and service are poured into every truck that I see into new hands. I know your concerns. I know your passion. They are mine, too. All too common are sales from the brokerage houses where a vehicle will receive a detail service and nothing else. Leaving maintenance work for the pleasure of the new owner; often time’s immediately following reception of the vehicle. Beware of any truck that does not share the same service points as the ones I advertise with my trucks. They are ESSENTIAL for long term reliability and any Rover without these services are ticking time bombs. I am not a Land Rover tech that drives home in a Honda Civic. I come from a long line of British Car technicians and Live, Breathe and even RACE the green oval. I understand ALL of your concerns and needs and do my best to ensure that you will be happy based on a simple, yet powerful concept: DOES THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME HAPPY? WOULD I PUT MY WIFE AND BABY IN IT? WOULD I LOVE TO HAVE IT? The answer is always yes. And that’s when I know they are ready. I care. I know you do, too. More and more these days copy-cats of mine pop up prompting customers to ask about various “cars I have for sale.” If you don’t see one for sale from me… its… well… not me! Vehicles that I see off not only have domestic endpoints, they go to the farthest reaches of the planet. They have gone to Europe, Asia, The South Pacific, Central America and currently, a client recently purchased a trail-ready 88 RRC and is en route to Tierra Del Fuego after I picked him up in the vehicle at LAX when he flew in to receive it! The point here is, I believe in each and every vehicle that I usher in to new ownership. Please see my recent vehicle sales and I’m sure you’ll be impressed. While these vehicles are all totally looked after, they are not immune cosmetic needs or to future service needs and flaws. They are used vehicles and normal flaws and wear should be expected as the vast majority of them are pushing 20+ years old. I invite you to ask ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS NOW! There are no queries too obscure; your satisfaction is the goal here. Additionally, eBay offers a 3rd party inspection service to verify ALL of your acquisition needs IN PERSON. Purchase of the vehicle = SATISFACTION. Once this auction is over, the winning bid and purchase imply that satisfaction has been achieved and will be understood as such. There are no warranties offered here, but that said, there is always an unspoken “hand-shake” warranty meaning that should something fail within a reasonable amount of time – say a hose, a coilpack, a distributor, blower motors, an alternator, a switch, fuel pump, etc – I will be happy to send you what I have available at that time. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION so you are bidding to win! Please make sure that you bid ONLY what you are prepared to pay. This means, when the auction is over, and the winning bid is placed, this becomes THE SALE PRICE of the vehicle. Under no circumstances does it open the door to negotiate or back out of your commitment. The people bidding for this vehicle actually want it. Do not spoil their chances at ownership by arm-chair bidding. Yes, everyone joins eBay at some point, and there is no prejudice against lower transaction numbers here – HOWEVER – if I suspect and/or become aware of any insincerity on the part of said bidder, I reserve the right to cancel all bids from and block that insincere bidder from this auction. Completion of this transaction is fairly straight forward. Once the auction is over, I will be contacting the winner immediately and we can discuss the easiest way to finalize the transition. Finally, people always ask me who I think a particular vehicle is for. I’ve gotta be honest. Part of me sees this stunning White-Gold LSE displayed proudly on the driveway as a daily commuter or a summer guest vehicle. HOWEVER, the other half of me sees this thing lifted, locked, re-geared and climbing the impossible verticals of the Red Slick Rock in Moab, Utah. Blue sky, Red Rock, and this trucks White-Gold finish??? Yee-freakin-haw!!! This truck has potential for so many… Its clean, functional, reliable, gorgeous and plainly KICKS ASS... The 98’s were distinctive all the way. And if you are looking for LSE’S only, then no doubt you have a specific need. Whatever it may be, this vehicle is up to the task and will make its new owner proud. Summer time is coming – and this vehicle is ready to be an essential component to your itinerary… whatever and wherever that may be! Best of luck and Happy Rovering! |

Land Rover to build Discovery Sport at new Brazilian factory
Fri, Oct 31 2014Looking forward to getting your mitts on a new Land Rover Discovery Sport? Well you should, because it promises to be a markedly better product than the Freelander/LR2 it replaces. Just don't assume it will necessarily be built in the UK, as just about every Land Rover has in the company's 66-year history. The new Discovery Sport (pictured above in Sao Paulo) will, of course, be built in the UK, at the Halewood plant where the Evoque is made and which has in the past handled the Freelander, the Jaguar X-Type and a variety of Fords. But it will also be assembled for local consumption at JLR's new factory in Changsu, China. And, according to the press release down below, it will also be made for the Latin American market at the new factory being built in Brazil. The new plant is being built in Itatiaia on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro and will come online in 2016. Once it gets up to speed by the end of 2020, it will have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles each year, ratcheting its workforce up from 400 when it opens to nearly 1,000 when all's said and done. The Discovery Sport will be one of the products made there for the local market, but it surely won't be the only one. As in China, we expect the Evoque will be built there as well, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the new Jaguar XE join it in the near future, either. Don't expect the Brazilian-made vehicles to be sold in the US, though: those will likely still be imported from the UK... at least, that is, until the facility said to be under consideration for the southern United States opens its doors. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS ITS ALL-NEW DISCOVERY SPORT FOR BRAZIL FACILITY - Jaguar Land Rover confirms Discovery Sport as one of the models to be produced at its new local manufacturing facility in Brazil - R$750m investment in the new facility in Itatiaia in the State of Rio de Janeiro - Annual production capacity of 24,000 units for the Brazilian market only – from 2016 Sao Paulo, Brazil – Jaguar Land Rover confirmed today, at the Sao Paulo International Motor Show, that its breakthrough Land Rover Discovery Sport will be one of the first models to be built at its new R$750m (GBP240m) local manufacturing facility in Itatiaia, Brazil. The new factory, which will see a total investment of R$750m (GBP240m) by the end of 2020, will supplement UK production and have the capacity to build 24,000 vehicles annually for the Brazilian market.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings
Mon, Jun 15 2020BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.
