For sale is my County Sable Edition 1993 Range Rover Long Wheel Base - SALHC1343PA639159. 


Wife finally making me sell my third vehicle to get our garage back - not to mention kid college fund ;)


Air suspension works as it should; never buy a LWB converted to coil springs (trust me, I have owned three).


Only year to have the beautiful Mediterranean Poplar wood trim – just awesome.


Refer to www.rangerovers.net/modelspecs/1993.html for all specs. 


Sable model was a $1,500 option introduced mid-way in 1993 model year. 


There were approximately 200 of the models with the Beluga Black paint and "Unique Black Accent CSK Wheels and Dark Sable Connolly Leather Seats and Trim". 


fyi - CSK was introduced to Range Rover in 1991 as a special edition model named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original 2-door Range Rover.


The 1993 County LWB was named "Best New Light Truck or Sport Utility Vehicle " by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).


It was also named "Best Sport Utility Vehicle in North America" by Playboy Magazine.


California model: all 1993s sold in CA had an extra $100.00 charge "For costs incurred by LRNA to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements."


Three owners with first owner having it 18 years, as follows:


>Original owner was dentist in San Fran, CA.; he owned it from 1993 new to approx. 2011 and clearly loved it with many refreshings including the new engine we will go over below.


>Second owner, also from CA, had a few unique range rovers but mostly was involved in a California Porsche club.


>Third owner (me, private seller) - a Land Rover enthusiast that has owned four over the last 16 years (one new Discovery II and three pre-owned RR LWBs, 1993/4/5


I honestly like the 93/4 LWB models better than the 1995 (even though the 95 had airbags with the discovery soft dash).  Why?  The classic dash set up - old school British!


I transported on a reputable car carrier from CA to FL - not driven.


New engine, 4.6, was installed at 112K mileage - a $9K upgrade - see picture of invoice.  Only 45k miles on it - many, many years to go!  See receipt picture


A high performance cam was installed same time as engine to increase performance and drive ability.


fyi - original model’s 4.2 V-8 had 200 HP; the 4.6 has 225 and feels and sounds very stronger (as I have owned two other lwbs). 


Driver side electric seat went out a year ago but believe it could just be a fuse; anyone over 5 feet, 9 inches does not need to move seat anyways. 


The passenger side seems to work ok moving back but lately started having issues moving forward; regardless, due to the uniqueness of classic range rovers, I recommend the new owner keep seats in a standard position at all times (in case they go out).


Heated front windshield and front seats do not work as per normal on rangies but not a huge deal.


Multiple sets of keys and remote key fobs.


Original manual and papers included. 


Tail gate is fine but new owner may want to replace frame with aftermarket aluminum version within five+ years; the tail gates on all rangies have issues as it is a steel component; you can replace the frame reasonably (or the whole glass unit). 


The main body is aluminum and is in great shape except for the passenger door bottom area (four inches) were a patch was done (but cannot really see well) - see picture. 


No wrecks; also, the Paint is original - still shiny too as evidenced by pictures; amazing looking truck that turns heads. 


Connolly Leather has been deeply conditioned four times in last three years; prior to that it is unknown but the leather is very, very nice.  Lexol brand is way to go!


Front seats almost look as if no one sat in them; what impresses me most is how thick the British Connolly leather is on the 1993s. 


Rear seats are almost incredible but there is one area that is a little dry so could later be redyed (6 inch area), etc to get back to normal (albeit unnecessary).


Battery installed late 2012 from second owner.


Tires are new from second owner and are like 95%; they were bought in 2012 by second owner


Expensive fuel filter installed 2014 (tough to replace in back right of vehicle).


I will include a new air filter in its box (for later use).


Sunroof and air suspension operate with no issues.


Headliner was replaced by second owner and is perfect; only the sunroof portion is not 100% - just needs minor regluing (albeit unnecessary). 


The pictures are mostly done in the neutral air suspension position but I have a couple shots showing the high and low profile ride heights. 


Again, never buy a Rangie LWB converted to coil springs as it (1) loses it charm, (2) usually has the car sit too high, and (3) loses its very unique feel (very squishy and I love it).


Front passenger door has the minor issue repaired by first owner - I believe he had opened it into a San Fran curb but you cannot see the patch; it should be corrected only if repainted.


Original manual and what we believe are full records – massive stack of papers including the document for the engine conversion.


iPod port installed by second owner.


Second owner also installed the nice light guards. 


Multi-CD changer. 


Cassette stock radio with a/d/s speakers and subwoofer.


For me, the major draw to 1993 vs 1994 was the Mediterranean Popular wood; they switched to burlwood for 1994. 


Wood is a 9+/10 condition; only the shifter cap is faded and can easier be replaced (if even wanted).


Rare Sable rear cover included; that alone draws major dollars in the aftermarket.


Dash is perfect; zero cracking, etc.; this truck has been cared for and is definitely one that will remain a strong classic for another decade+.


The undercarriage is super clean; it had some type of coating/painting done by a previous owner (but I do not know details).


Air conditioning and heating work as they should. 


No air bags. 


Cup holders are great but if you want more let me know and I’ll include the bolt on ones I took off an old Land Rover Discovery (otherwise I may sell those on ebay for a nice sum).


I know a concern with most SUVs is whether or not a shorter person can get in easily; no worries as the air suspension can be lowered when you park.


Smoke Free by me last two years; no info on owners 1 & 2.


Cruise control not working but that is common issue on these SUVs.


Sold new at British Motors of San Francisco Ca.


It was heavily been dealer serviced and maintained but specialist Roverland in San Francisco has performed majority of services.


This car has been owned by three meticulous enthusiasts that treated the car well. 


LWB is the only way to go for the Classic Rangies; the short wheel bases just don't compare.


Last series of RRs that were old school British (they dropped off with the 1996 model).


H4 headlights.


Serviced factory air suspension by owners one and two; I never had to service it as third owner.


The rangie has a slightly throaty sound from the upgraded NRP after-market exhaust system the second owner installed.


Replaced right front caliper and new brake pads in July 2012.


Factory remote key system works perfectly on one fob but the second one has a dead battery (no big deal to replace).


Other work done by owners two/three: the catalytic convertors, transfer case, front wheel bearings, radiator, water pump, brakes.


The headliner is new; only the sunroof portion has some unstuck glue (easily corrected).  


Second owner installed medium after-market tint (which looks nice with Black paint); this can be removed easily, if wanted.


MESSAGE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

Clean title; I own this SUV out right.

***This is a 1993 so please don't expect a show car - but do expect an 8 out of 10 in my eye - a rangie you will be very proud of***.

Second 'No Time To Die' trailer drops with lots of crunching metal

Thu, Sep 3 2020

The second trailer for the new James Bond film, "No Time To Die," was posted to social media Thursday morning, getting us thoroughly hyped for the forthcoming installment thanks to some spicy car content and lots of other ridiculous, big-budget action sequences.  Fair warning for the purists: This might contain plot- and character-related information from the trailer itself. Also, it appears that many Land Rover Defenders died in the making of this film, so the footage may not be for the faint of heart; don't say we didn't give you advance notice.  As is typical of Bond films, most of the automotive eye candy is of the European variety. The classic Aston Martin DB5 gadget car (which we saw doing some crazy machine-gun donuts in the first trailer) makes yet another appearance, as does what appears to be fourth-generation Maserati Quattroporte. There's even something which might be a car, but also appears to be both some sort of airplane and submersible. Never change, Bond. We love it.  And then there are the Defenders. We've got Defenders speeding down hillsides, Defenders crashing through forests, Defenders flying over Land Cruisers. Yeah, do you like Land Cruisers? There's a Land Cruiser. It even (spoiler alert!) survives relatively unscathed; the same cannot be said for most of the automotive shenanigans we get to see here.  "No Time To Die" was originally slated to debut back in April, but its original release date roughly coincided with the projected peak of early coronavirus infections. Given how important the Bond film franchise's continued success is to MGM (it's virtually the only thing the studio has had going for it for 30 years) and the producers (who only make Bond films), meager box office returns were not an option. The last film, Spectre, pulled in the worldwide gross of $880 million, including $200 million in the United States and $83.5 million in China. The wait is almost over. "No Time to Die" will hit theaters Nov. 25 in the United States.  Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK

Sun, Aug 16 2020

Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

UK car output falls 14% in March, may get worse with no-deal Brexit

Tue, Apr 30 2019

LONDON — British car output fell for the 10th month in a row in March, hit by a slowdown in key foreign markets, and the sector stands to suffer a lot more if the country leaves the European Union without a deal, an industry body said on Tuesday. Output tumbled by an annual 14.4 percent to 126,195 cars in March, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said. Exports, which account for nearly four out of every five cars made in Britain, were down by 13.4 percent. The SMMT said analysis it had commissioned predicted output would fall this year to 1.36 million units from 1.52 million in 2018, assuming London can secure a transition deal with the EU. If Britain has to rely instead on World Trade Organization rules for its trade with the bloc, which include import tariffs, output is forecast to fall by around 30 percent to 1.07 million units in 2021, returning to mid-1980s levels, the SMMT said. The forecasts were produced for SMMT by AutoAnalysis, a consultancy. Prime Minister Theresa May has secured a delay to the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31, giving her more time to try to break an impasse in parliament over the terms of Britain's departure from the EU. Foreign minister Jeremy Hunt traveled to Japan earlier this month to try to persuade the Japanese government and Toyota, which has a big presence in Britain, that London was determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit. "Just a few years ago, industry was on track to produce 2 million cars by 2020 — a target now impossible with Britain's reputation as stable and attractive business environment undermined," SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said. "All parties must find a compromise urgently so we can set about repairing the damage and diverting energy and investment to the technological challenges that will define the future of the global industry."
