Solid 1991 Range Rover County Short Wheel base. This is a fairly rare, original GREAT DIVIDE EDITION. It is correctly titled and badged as an original GD, #175. There were 409 of these made in 1990, and all were sold as 1991 models ( there is extensive history on the GDs available). There are reportedly less than 200 left according to the LR registry. This GD has been a California RRC all of its life, and as such, the aluminum panels, roof, doors and undercarriage are rust free and solid throughout, making it a perfect candidate for a mild restoration or drive it as it is.
This is a fairly rare, one-year-only model of the GD in the US. I had no intention of selling it, but a sudden job-relocation makes this improbable. Reluctantly, I am posting it for sale here to find it a good Rover home.
This GD comes fully-equipped with the County package ( all Power accessories work, including all four windows, both power seats, hard sunroof and central locking), with the original stock 3.9L V8 engine, heavy-duty suspension revised with OldMan 2" lift set up, EMU springs and struts, Updated front suspension, correct GD optional wheels, original early Land Rover all-metal sidesteps, factory tow package and roof bars. It has 213K original miles, and it runs well.
The automatic transmission shifts well into all forward and reverse gears. There is NO slippage or grinding of gears. No rearend, axle or bearing noises. The 4x4 system works well into both L and H gearing.
The 3.9L engine received a top-end overhaul about 2 yrs ago. It is tight and not a leaky mess like most. It is completely original, without any modifications from stock, except for an alternator shield and auxiliary PIAA light-back up system pod. The car has had a remanufactured BOSCH alternator replaced, along with a starter, as well as a Beck-Arnley water pump, ABS module and brake pump. Brakes are about 70%. This GD has stock-size radials with fair tread ( about 60% left), mounted on the factory GD alloy wheels. NO front-end vibrations, wobbling or pulling.
The body is in EXCELLENT condition, with absolutely NO rust whatsoever, anywhere in, under or around the car. The body is completely 100% RUST-FREE, as any clean, California car should always be. The original factory finish has held up remarkably well, with no flaking of the clearcoat anywhere, or fading to the roofline, hood or filler front panel. The original Alpine white still retains a beautiful shine despite the passing of years, evident that it has been regularly garaged. It would probably clean up even better with a good polishing.
The interior upholstery is in better than average condition, except the bottoms of both front seats which are in need of reupholstering ( I have an estimate to re-do them both for $300). There are NO cracks, splits, tears or separation of the seams in ay of the remaining seats, and they are all the perforated upholstery, unique to the GREAT DIVIDE models only. The rest of the upholstery, including the other seats and all door panels are in very good shape, clean and with no damage. The factory carpeting is clean, and I had it recently professionally shampooed, along with the trunk carpeting, which is also clean.
Overall, it is a very solid, original Range Rover, and a hard-to-find GD in its fairly original configuration. It has NEVER been in an accident, off-roaded, abused or wrecked. I have listed the car to sell, with a ridiculous $1 opening bid. That being said, I have advertised it in various other venues, and am open to a reasonable, FAIR offer.
To those that like to play games and bid $5 at the time, this is NOT going to be the car for you. To the serious, potential interested bidders, I welcome your bid and any questions you may have concerning the GD. I reserve the right to end this auction early at any time, should a serious offer present itself, so bid early and bid often~!
Upon end of the auction, I would like to receive payment within three business days. PLEASE ensure that your source of funds is in place and sorted out before placing a bid, in order to make timely payment.
If that means asking your significant other, checking with your boss that you are not getting transferred to Saudi Arabia or checking any significant tornado patterns landing in your home state, PLEASE do so prior to placing a bid and prior to the end of the auction.
Upon receipt of payment, I shall immediately mail you the CA title and bill of sale to the GREAT DIVIDE, via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise noted. Method of payment can be a cashier's check, or money order(s). Personal, business, C.C advance or annuity account checks may be utilized, but must clear funding before the car is released. Additionally, a bank wire transfer may be sent to my local CHASE bank branch here in town; it allows for faster shipping arrangements and a timely closing of the transaction. Finally, PAYPAL may be used as an alternative if previously arranged between the buyer and seller (me), prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction.
I shall be glad to assist with transportation/ delivery of this Rover to any location, nationwide or overseas. I can make all arrangements for shipping from here to your location, at the most economical shipping rate available.
Feel free to EM or call me with questions at (650) 430-4660 ( no later than 9pm PST, please). Thank you for your interest~!

All Jaguars and Land Rovers to get diesel engines... almost
Mon, Jan 12 2015Virtually all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles – except the F-Type sports car – will get a diesel engine option in the next three years, the company confirmed Sunday night at an event before the Detroit Auto Show. The aggressive blitz begins this fall, when the 2016 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will launch with available turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. They will push out 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, while returning fuel economy of up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The combined rating in city and highway driving will be 25 mpg. The Rovers will be followed in 2016 by the XE sedan and F-Pace crossover, which will offer the 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines, in addition to gasoline units. The diesel-powered XE is expected to get at least 40 mpg on the highway, Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Joe Eberhardt said. The oil-burners are expected to offer 20-to-30 percent improvements in fuel economy compared with gasoline engines, depending on the vehicle. JLR's announcement comes as gasoline prices have plummeted in the United States, and regular fuel costs about $1 less than a gallon of diesel, according to AAA research. Still, the company is taking the long view, and Eberhardt said diesel engines offer greater performance and range than other options. JLR expects about 20 percent of its customers will opt for diesel engines. "We strongly believe this is what our customers will want, regardless of the fluctuations in gas prices," he said.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
