1997 Zebra Land Rover Discovery SD 4.0 V8. Extremely rare 5-Speed Manual transmission. 1997 was the last year the manual transmission was offered in America. 10,000+ Discoverys were imported in 1997 but only 68 had the 5-speed manual transmission. This was the last manual transmission Land Rover imported into North America (verified by VIN number) and was number 68. I'm the original owner. I worked for Land Rover at the time and managed to buy this as my personal vehicle. I had the zebra pattern professional designed and installed in 1997 by AutoGraphics. It is fully removeable if you want to change the car back to the original white color. It also has the factory brush bar, helmet compatible headrest cushions, lamp guards, Hella off-road driving lights, full rubber floor mats, rubber cargo mat, tow package, and Thule ski rack. It is the SD five seat version, but it came from the factory with the brackets for the two jump seats, so you could bolt them right in if you bought the pair that's on eBay right now. I've been planning to restore it to show level condition but job loss and the bad economy forces me to sell it. I just installed a new battery and replaced the power steering hoses. It has 195K miles and starts, runs, and drives strong. It needs a windshield (a tree fell on it) and the check engine and ABS lights need to be reset since the shop who did the brake job forgot to. This car has been to the Arctic Circle, the tip of Baja California, and done the entire length of the Rubicon Trail. There are some minor corner dings from rock climbing and a dent in the brush bar from the Rubicon, but it is in otherwise good condition. It would also be an excellent candidate to lift and convert for hardcore off-road use if you don't want to restore it to full stock. Car is being offered for local sale and auction may end at any time.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]
Mon, 21 Jul 2014For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
