1995 Land Rover Discovery (manual Transmission) on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
This Rover has been driven wet and put away hard, but it has been loved and well maintained. It is NOT a daily driver and is only really happy when it's covered in mud. The 1995 Discovery is the last of the normally aspirated, mechanical ignition models and is therefore highly desirable as an off-road vehicle. Even more desirable is the five speed manual transmission (very rare in the USA.)
This Rover is street legal and registered in Florida. However, it is far from stock. The factory Discovery had a very narrow wheel base and low suspension geometry. This Discovery is three inches higher with new heavy-duty coil-over shocks and is five inches wider than it was when it left the factory (w/aluminum spacers.) It has four stock alloy rims with BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain tires (with less than five thousand miles on them.) The exhaust, rear of the cats, is less than two years old and was replaced with a custom, single magnaflow muffler. This modification provides a marked performance improvement without a marked increase in noise. All the running gear fluids were serviced annually, the break and clutch hydraulics are all less than two years old and the engine has received progressive maintenance and replacements which included new coil, new harness, new belts, new belt tensioner, and select electronic replacements. The starter motor is less than two years old and the ignition relay has been augmented with push button start. The interior is in fair physical condition for its age. The rear seats are factory split 70/30 where the single (driver side) can be removed to provide extra cargo space. The spongy lining under the carpet has been removed because it would retain moisture. The front seats are covered to protect the factory cloth, which is in good condition. The factory air and heat both blow cold and hot respectively, however, neither are ever used. The driver and front passenger window motor are less than two years old, however the rear window motor were deliberately disabled. The central locking system, the factory alarm and factory sound system have also been disabled. The bodywork is visibly in good condition with some corrosion. The frame is in excellent condition and still retains the factory anti-corrosion barrier. This Rover includes many extra accessories including a rear ladder, roof rack, off-road tool straps, Hella floods and a brush guards. If you are looking for a serious AWD TOY (that is not a Jeep,) this is your vehicle. Please don't buy it if you won't risk getting it stuck! |

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
