Rare opportunity to own one of the last of the Range Rover "Classics", in near-perfect condition.  A two-owner, completely dealer-maintained vehicle, that looks, feels, and drives like new.

You will hard-pressed to find a 1995 Range Rover Classic in better condition for sale.  Though this RRC is not "concourse" condition, it is a definite "excellent" -- always receiving compliments and thumbs-up from Land Rover enthusiasts.  An absolutely clean and mechanically sound RRC.  All original paint, glossy, without dents or any history of body damage.  The upper tailgate is rust-free. Interior is like new, from leather seats, to carpets, to trim and headliner.  Engine idles and runs smoothly, with plenty of power.  Always dealer-maintained, with Land Rover recommended maintenance on all systems.  (All dealer maintenance records available from the date the vehicle was delivered to the first owner.)  Original Harman Kardon sound system, with original head unit (AM/FM/WB/cassette), 6 CD-changer, and factory amplifier and subwoofer.  All systems function, from electrically adjustable heated front seats, to air conditioning, to cruise control to heated windscreen and rear window, to fog lamps.

The 1995 model year is the last year of the Range Rover Classic, the first ever "luxury sport utility vehicle", from a time when "luxury" meant leather, heated seats, and climate control, rather than plastic bumpers, ground effects, low-profile highway tires and wheels.  The original Range Rover retained its body style and basic design for 25 years, from 1970 to 1995.  This vehicle is the last production year for the Range Rover Classic, with the desirable ergonomic dash, driver and passenger side airbags, and electronically-controlleled fuel injection.  

The original owner maintained the vehicle as one of a number of Land Rovers he owned, then sold it to the local dealer in 2011.  Fortune smiled on me and I found out about the vehicle before it was offered for general sale to the public.  Since then, I have refurbished or replaced any aging systems with original parts where possible, and with upgraded, quality aftermarket parts where original parts are no longer available.  The listing below includes a near-complete listing of significant repairs, replacements and upgrades.

  • Coil spring conversion by dealer, using standard RRC classic springs, to give original ride height and road feel (2011)
  • Bilstein shocks and steering damper (2011)
  • Front shock towers installed to improve suspension geometry after coil spring conversion and provide neater engine bay appearance (2011).
  • All springs have rubber packings/cups on top and bottom to reduce transfer of road vibration from wheels to frame (a standard practice on the Land Rover Discovery)
  • Complete new stainless exhaust system by NRP:  new integral catalytic converters and Y-pipe that mounts to original exhaust manifolds, runs back to NRP central muffler, then runs back to glass-pack before chrome-plated and angled tailpipe (2011) 
  • Magnecor spark plug wires (8 mm blue, heavy-duty, high-spark), new distributor cap and rotor, and new spark plugs (2011)
  • Headliner recovered (2011)
  • Sunroof removed, cleaned, and new rubber seal installed; new sunshield installed with factory headliner material (2011)
  • All dings in roof repaired using paintless dent repair, while headliner removed (small dings that accumulate with age on an aluminum roof) (2011)
  • 4 new tires in 2012 (now with 85% tread left) - Dunlop Radial Rover R/T - 215/85R-16 - which give the original 32" total tire height of OEM tire size (205R16) - an impossible size to find in the USA today.  The Radial Rover R/Ts tires also maintain the "skinny" tire look, which is original to the car, unlike the (incorrect) 235/70R16s that are commonly fitted (e.g., Michelin Synchrones, PIrelli Scorpions, etc.).  The Dunlops have a functional off-road tread pattern, that carries a M+S rating, works well in sand and soil, and is very well-mannered on the highway.  The tires also are factory pre-drilled for fitting of studs.
  • New radiator (2012)
  • Optima Red Top spiral cell battery
  • All new Lloyd's floor mat set for front and passenger areas (never used) 
  • Genuine Land Rover rubber floor mats for front and passenger areas (with "Range Rover" embossing and "tire-tread" pattern) (new 2011)
  • WeatherTech load space floor mat
  • K&N reusable high-performance air filter
  • New upper tailgate cylinders (raises smoothly and stays open!) (2012)
  • Hella fog lamps to replace originals (2013)
Also included with this RRC are the following genuine Land Rover accessories that I removed from the vehicle to return it to the stock look.  Purchaser may take or leave these items.  I have photos showing them installed on the vehicle when I purchased it in 2011:
  • Front brush bar with all mounting hardware.  Includes removable headlight guards with thumb screws.  Good condition, though removable headlamp guards could use repainting or powder-coating.
  • Rear lamp guards with original mounting hardware.  Guards could use repainting or powder-coating.
  • Side steps in good condition.
Carfax report is clean.  If it shows a third owner, then this is merely a transfer of title from my personal name to a personal LLC; not a sale of the vehicle.

I have invested a significant sum in "Blanca" over the past two years, with the intention of keeping her for many years to come.  Sadly, I am forced to sell her for financial reasons.  She serves me well as my daily driver, and is our family's preferred Rover (over the 2001 Discovery) for longer highway trips.  All items that needed, or are likely to need in the near future, any maintenance, repair or replacement have been addressed.  This Classic is ready to drive cross-country, or on your next off-road adventure today, with confidence.

The only remaining items on my "project list" are to address some small surface rust where the rear light panels meet the tailgate area.  I have included photos to show this is a cosmetic issue; no body panel perforation.  This is a common problem on RRCs.  There is nothing "hidden" on this vehicle underneath an inexpensive new paint job.

I have many other photos of my baby.  If you wish to see a particular aspect of the vehicle, simply ask and I will send more photos or a link to view them.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY OR MAKE OFFERS ON THIS VEHICLE IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE.  THIS IS A SERIOUS CAR, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND MAINTAINED BY A SERIOUS, MATURE, EXPERIENCED ROVER OWNER, WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE EBAY AUCTIONS OR SALES ARE A "GAME".  PAYMENT TERMS ARE FIRM.  THANK YOU!

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.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar 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."

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
