1997 Land Rover Discovery XD. Special Edition Discovery XD with AA Yellow paint. Produced only for the North American market, the Special Vehicles Division of Land Rover created only 250 of these vehicles. Some have estimated there are less than 150 remaining.  I purchased this vehicle preowned through a dealer while it was still under factory warranty. I have owned the vehicle since that time.  I have always run full synthetic oil at 3K mile interval changes.  Vehicle has been used lightly off-road at sanctioned Land Rover Club and Land Rover Dealership “Wheels” events.  Hard to part with the vehicle but I can’t justify hanging on to it with other projects that need my attention and money. I would rather see someone getting enjoyment out of it then sitting in my garage. The engine runs strong and shifts smoothly with only 135K miles (averaging less than 8K miles per year). Vehicle has never been smoked in. I make no claims to this being a perfect vehicle but that said, for a 17-year-old vehicle, it looks and runs great!! Air Conditioning is ice cold. If you know Land Rovers you will know some seeping and leaking is not unusual and this vehicle is no exception.  Most visible leak on a garage floor is the power steering fluid, which is leaking from the power steering box.  The vehicle has been well serviced and maintained primarily at Land Rover Dealerships.  The vehicle has had full seat covers since new so the fabric looks excellent!! Over $5K in accessories and KIT; save yourself the time and money of building one up yourself and take advantage of this well equipped vehicle.  I have owned many Rovers and this has been a great vehicle. Happy Bidding on this rare XD!

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.

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
