Vehicle Driving and Features:

Let me talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL.  ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover.  It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck.  On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck.  ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension.  Next – Rear Air Suspension.  This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME.  The same goes for towing.  I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable.  Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most  later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service.  Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!

The cabin is quiet and odor free.  This was a NON SMOKER truck.  The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.

Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners.  It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles!  As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day.  I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.

Purchasing and Perspective:

If you brought this truck to me and did all of the servicing that I have listed, you would EASILY SPEND $7K+ to service this truck.  Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER.  WHENEVER.  I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term.  Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it!  When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years.  You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck.  That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.”  They need to be maintained.  They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance.  While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly.  No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that.  In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior.  The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove.  While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny.  This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors).  I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!”  This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. 

Obviously, I spend a lot of time writing these ad's trying to give you a sense of each Rover's unique profile.  I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!!  There is no question too small or obscure.  This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition.  Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand!  Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!!  That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time.  I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available. 

Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK.  Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY.  Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit. 

I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica.  One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!).  I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare.  Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there.  If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME.  Don’t settle for less.

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go.  There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!
