This 1980 Rover SD1 survivor is a rare sight in the US

Filed under: ,,,,,

Mention that you drive a Rover in the US, and you're bound to get a few looks, along with the requisite, "you mean a Land Rover?" But pull up most anywhere stateside in one of these and those looks will be less of wonder, and more of envy. This is a Rover SD1. When it was being developed, the Rover designers actually lined up full scale models of the SD1 with exotic supercars of the day, including Maseratis and Ferraris, which explains the avant-garde wedge shape and dramatic rear lines. Wh

eBay Find Of The Day: 1990 Range Rover Great Divide Expedition replica for charity [w/videos]

Filed under: , , , , ,

1990 Land Rover Range Rover Great Divide Expedition Replica

Way back in 1989, Land Rover launched a major program called the Great Divide Expedition. It pitted members of the media against some of North America's toughest terrain, running along the continental divide that bisects the United States. The media's ally in this attempt? The 1990 Range Rover.

It was successful, with the Range Rovers covering the grueling 1,100-mile route in just 12 days, despite just 28 percent of the trip covering paved roads.

With the twenty-fifth anniversary of the original Great Divide Expedition, Land Rover is planning another run along the spine of North America. This time, the tour will consist of two nine-day expeditions of 1,000 miles each. While the distance may be shorter, expect the modern Range Rovers to be pushed to their absolute limits, just like the original models.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Land Rover is auctioning off a fully restored replica of the 1990 Range Rover used in the original expedition. Aside from picking up the old school Landie, the auction winner will be invited to run one of the expeditions two legs, while their new old Range Rover will cover both journeys.

All profits from the auction will go towards Tread Lightly, a non-profit that got its start with the help of the original Great Divide Expedition. The charity focuses on conservation and education efforts as they relate to outdoor activities, ranging from fishing and hunting to off-roading and other motorized activities that take place off the beaten path.

Scroll down for a time-lapse video of the restoration process on the 1990 Range Rover, a video detailing the original Great Divide Expedition and a short press release from Land Rover. Those interested in bidding on the Range Rover can register to bid at the auction's eBay page. Bidding, meanwhile, runs until August 14 and is up to $33,000 as of this writing.

eBay Find of the Day: Why this motorcycle’s a deal at $135k

Filed under: , , , ,

1969 Honda CB750 prototype

There can be no doubt that Soichiro Honda left a lasting legacy by lending his engineering talents to the company that bears his name. This can be said particularly of motorcycles, and the company outdid itself when it introduced the 1969 CB750. Widely considered the world's first superbike, it combined a then-powerful 67-horsepower, 736cc, inline four-cylinder engine and cutting edge tech for motorcycles at the time like an electric start and front disc brake. It is simply one of the most important motorcycles ever made, and now one of four handmade prototypes is up for auction on eBay Motors.

According to the seller, Honda had an idea that it had something special with the CB750 and built four preproduction models to be shown off to American media in 1968. Each one was hand-built by Honda technicians from bespoke components, and this blue/green model was photographed by magazines and for promotional material at the time. The seller believes that one of the four prototypes was destroyed, one is in Europe and one is unknown, which means this may be the only chance for collectors to get their hands on one.

The bike has prompted quite a bidding war with 97 bids registered as of this writing. With about seven hours left to go in the auction, the top big currently sits at $135,300. At this rate, things could get very exciting at the end. Although to own a prototype for the first super bike, it might be worth it.
