Mint condition Land Rover 90 V8 EFI. It is an original factory built V8. This is a non-sunroof model, which is very, very rare. The benefit of this one is that the tops of the doors are removable (Series Land Rover Doors), so during the summer months they can be removed and stored ready for the next winter.
The engine was fully rebuilt in 2012. The rebuild consisted of a complete tear down, and rebuild with the addition of high lift cams, Ashcroft refurbished LT85 manual gearbox (newer generation), new clutch kit, new timing chain, followers, little ends and composite head gaskets. The rebuild also included an EFI conversion which was completed with all new parts (Mark Adams ECU and Air Flow Meter). This conversion make it incredibly fast, reliable and smooth to drive. I would describe this engine as being one of a kind, and the sound is like music to my ears. You can easily cruise at 80+ mph on the interstate which is a vast improvement from others you will see.
The paint and bodywork is pretty much perfect. I regularly wax the car, and all panels are completely blemish free. As I explained above, it has Series doors (early Land Rover generation). This was a decision and preference made again for living in a warmer climate, as the tops are removable. The doors themselves, rear included, are all like new. The only small point which could be criticized potentially is that there is some slight corrosion in each of the foot well plates under the mats, but nothing that needs addressing straight away by any means. This is also a very simple fix.
The Chassis and underneath of this 90 is like new (as per the attached pictures). It has never been welded and nor will it ever need to be if it is kept in the condition that it has been for all these years. I've had the car inspected on several occasions, and people have been amazed at the condition. Another nice point to note is that I've uprated the springs, so it sits 1.5 inches higher than stock.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
