THIS VEHICLE IS TITLED AND REGISTERED IN TEXAS CURRENTLY, NOT AWAITING SHIPPING FROM THE UK - UK VIN SALLDHMV7BA238870 "Thurston" (yes, he has a name), originally began life on a hunting estate West of London, transporting the nobility from castle to field to partake in the activities that all well-to-do Englishmen do on a daily basis; polo, skeet shooting, and of course afternoon tea on the green. Since then, Thurston took a steamer West to the New World and emigrated to Texas. He was a little dated and in desperate need of a new lease on life when he arrived, but now he is in better shape than when he left the factory in Solihull. So, what's he had done? Complete new paint - Classic green with the white roof (looks even better in person!) Reupholstered entire interior All door cards upholstered and look amazing Brand new head liner Carpeting throughout sound and heat insulation panels added All leaks, drips and seeps addressed - full mechanical health and wellness work done by the number 1 Land Rover Master Technician in Texas! -new water pump -coolant flush -all oils and fluids replaced -new seals/door seals throughout the vehicle -carbs tuned and balanced -new windscreen Under sealed the bottom with bed liner as a rust preventative - frame and bulkhead are in good shape New wheels and tires No stone left unturned and I would happily drive across country in him! Drives like an absolute dream! The 3.5 V8 is very smooth all the way from idle to the top of the rev range. I would absolutely encourage a test drive, or at the least a good look around for this one off restoration. Everywhere I drive him he turns heads and starts conversations. Call Chris today! |

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant
Sat, 24 Nov 2012While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
