See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"old Rover, yes, it has scratches, I used it. Sometimes I even squeezed between shrubs too narrow for a normal person. Lets just say it has scratches everywhere, that way no one will whine that I didn't mention a scratch. It amazingly only has three small dents, two of which would not show in photos; one is on the front passenger door, small circular depression about an inch across; the other is in the left rear quarter panel and is about 8 inches long, by an inch wide and a small depression; both show no signs of paint chipping. The third dent is evident in the photos; its on the bottom edge of the right rear quarter panel. Car has signs of rust starting in a few places, further details in description section. Paint on the bonnet/hood is fading and will not buff out."

Selling my LWB that I've owned for 13 years, purchased when it was only 6yrs. old.  I am moving and unable to take this vehicle along.


Unlike all the other posts for Range Rovers and LWB's, my listing is not going to gloss over anything, tell you what an astounding vehicle it is for its age or show the shine on tires that have been "Armor-all-ed".  Mine needs washed for starters, and has lots of little things that need attention.  Its an old Rover that is starting to show its age.  Please do NOT bid/buy with the hope of having a new car or like new - its 20yrs old!  I had hoped to keep this and eventually put a Mercedes 300TD engine in it.  If you are not familiar with this conversion, there are several You-Tube how-to videos that cover this.  It does bolt directly to the existing transmission except for having to notch the housing due to different starter locations.  

The GOOD:  It runs and stops and never left me stuck anywhere; I have owned other Rovers in my life that have.  Replaced motor at 140,000 with another 4.2 that only had 65,000 miles on it.  It has True-Track, torsen-style, limited-slip differentials front and rear that I put in two years ago when I replaced the viscous clutch which had locked and ruined the rear factory differential.  New alternator and water pump installed within last year.  Radiator recored about four years ago.  It comes with a factory dog screen/guard that fits between the cargo area and rear seat; currently not installed but does so with only two screws.  While not in the pictures, I do have the rear parcel tray (and tire cover, etc.) that fits over the rear cargo area.  I am including an extra set of four rims (only two show in photos); the tires on them however are not usable.

The BAD:  The windows currently do not work.  I swapped in another window computer and it did not solve the problem.  Still unresolved.  The sunroof, while it does work, needs to have the tracks cleaned and adjusted.  The center console unit is broken and does not stay together; it will needs some attention/epoxy/wood/plastic/surgery to do so. The radio is with the car but not currently installed; it does have the rear CD-changer unit and ADS speaker system.  Headliner has the dropsies over the rear cargo area.  Rust: I showed the two areas where there is rust through the floor; one picture shows an area to the left of the drivers seat box where a rust hole developed in a small area under the carpeting from the window leaking over time.  The other photo/rust area is in the right side of the cargo area along a seam in the rear floor.  There is rust starting under the bonnet/hood as can be seen in the photos.  There is also an indication of a rust bubble just starting on the rear hatch.  I removed and rust-proofed the hatch a few years ago and it was pretty sound and appears to still be so except for that one area.  The rear hatch however does not currently have the latching/locking mechanism in place, nor the gas struts (optional wood prop shown in photo is included at no additional cost...).  The engine has developed a mysterious and intermittent cut-out and I do not have the time or inclination to chase it.  I believe it may be related to the alarm system.  There is a slow leak in the right rear air spring.  I know this because it made the air suspension system fault and ride on the stop bumps.  Because my closest Rover dealer is 90 miles away, I plumbed in air lines to the regular lines so that it can be inflated manually.  Works great.  There is a lad online that offers free software to be able to reset your air suspension computer without having to recalibrate.  All you need is a computer with either an RS232 port or USB, make a cable to fit (he includes instructions) and off you go.  Again, yet another project I did not get around to doing.  Again, this is an old car.  If you do not know how to work on cars, don't bid/buy.  If you have never owned a Rover, no not bid/buy.  If your mate/life partner complains you do not spend enough time with them, do not buy this car.  If you love to work on cars, have owned a Rover before and your wife likes the fact you work on cars cause it keeps you at home, then buy this car.  If you need a great parts car, buy this truck; the True-Trac differentials alone will make this a good buy.

If you are looking for a Rover and not looking to spend a lot of money, this is the Rover for you.  The issues it has are ones that will only require your time and not much, if any of your money.

I am gearing up to move so I no longer have immediate internet access.  If you email with questions it may take me a day or more to answer, so apologies ahead of time for that.  I am located in State College, PA and the car is for sale locally as well.  

Conditions of the sale are simple:  Paypal deposit of $500 upon close of auction, balance and pick-up of vehicle within 7 days of auction end (again, I am moving 2000 miles away and need to be on my way ASAP).

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique

Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
