Brookwell Land Rover News
Counting down to one of the world’s toughest driving and multi-sport adventure challenges, Scotsman and 2003 Land Rover G4 Challenge veteran, Tim Pickering, last week visited the Land Rover Experience in Dunkeld, Perthshire to administer some gruelling training on the three 2006 UK finalists.
Putting the British finalists through their paces ahead of the competition’s next stage – the International Selections - Tim delivered an exhausting reminder of what’s in store for railway engineer Brian Reynolds, RAF doctor Andy Grieve and overseas tour director Susanna Madge – the UK’s first female finalist.
Only the third model in its 32-year history and the first since 1994, the new Range Rover has undergone a radical transformation under its still familiar shell. Although there are no body panels in common with the previous model, traditional Range Rover design elements such as the horizontally split tailgate and simple grille remain, the major shift being the replacement of the separate box-section chassis with a steel monocoque offering greater levels of torsional stiffness. The totally new sub frame-mounted independent suspension with interconnected air springs provides large wheel travel (270 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear - a significant increase over the previous generation Range Rover) and ground clearance. ‘Terrain Sensing’ software that determines if the vehicle is being driven off-road and adjusts the suspension accordingly via electronic traction control systems. Both the 4.4 litre V8 petrol and 3.0-litre common rail sixcylinder turbo-diesel engines are available featuring fully automated and steptronic manual shifts.
Land Rover achieves record monthly and full year US sales; Jaguar US sales down one third
5th January 2006
Ford had achieved its first full year increase in US car sales since 1999 by the end of December 2005, a month when several Asian and European manufacturers reported record sales yesterday. Ford’s full year 2005 car sales totalled 1.04 million, up 2 percent from 2004’s total.
Sales of Ford’s CUVs (crossover utility vehicles) were up 28 percent in 2005 - outpacing overall growth in the U.S. market’s fastest growing segment.
We trust you all had a good Christmas and New Year, let’s get back to the good stuff…
On Christmas Eve, Scotland’s Daily Record reported that Land Rover gave a fleet of eight vehicles–worth over £400,000–to Britain’s Prince Charles as a Christmas gift.
This prompted the publication to call Charles the “Prince of Wheels,” and Land Rover must be eating it up. After all, the Ford Motor (nyse: F - news - people ) subsidiary loves its ties to the British monarchy. Hanging near the entrance to the company’s factory in Solihull, England, are plaques commemorating visits from the queen and the queen mother.
