Pristine 1980 Land Rover Series II Model 109.

Body was in perfect shape, interior was just re-done and other than the original inline 4 motor that had no
overdrive, my wife and I bought it in Oregon and drove it 2500 miles south down Coast Highway to California.

Thinking I was going to keep it 100% stock as most Rover fanatics would like to see it, I decided to go full
retro-mod on it.

We kept the all aluminum frame and the pristine body in tack, everything else in the undercarriage and drive-train
had to go.

I wanted this to be a reliable vehicle that one could find parts for it anywhere in the country at your local auto
parts store.

We put in a trusty create GM Performance 5.3L V8 engine (not a junk yard re-build, a brand new motor), turbo 400
transmission hooked to an Atlas 2-speed transmission.

3 link custom long arm suspension in the front and 4 link custom long arm suspension in the rear all controlled by
Fox 2.0 Remote reservoir coil over shocks with adjustable bump stops.

Dana 44 axles were swapped in that have 4.10 gearing, electronic lockers, high performance axles and all gusseted
to ensure there are no bends or breaks out on the trails.

Sway bars front and rear keep this top heavy vehicle in check both on the road as well as off, and the stout
hydraulic steering assist from PSC turns the Falken Wildpeak A/T 35x12.50r17 tires

(wrapped on the AEV matte black wheels) with ease. JE Reel custom drive shafts, custom skid plates , custom engine
brace, custom oversized aluminum radiator, heavy duty AGM battery,

and a multitude of throughout the undercarriage finish out the engine and drive-train mods. The original gauges
indicate almost 50k on the vehicle, but all the modifications were done at 46,780.

So less than 4000 miles are on the wear and tear.


That "only 4k on the wear and tear" also includes the paint. A fresh "Triple Deep Black" paint from PPG was sprayed
just before all the mods to the vehicle took place.

Paint along with 90% of all the tubular accessories on the vehicle had a fresh coat of paint or powder coat put on
them.


Interior was modified to accept the automatic transmission with a Speedshift shifter as well as the Vintage Air Air
Conditioning unit.

Yes, there are little items like the dash that could be re-covered due to minor tears in it, but that along with
other mods to the new owner can be done easily at any interior shop.


This Rover was built right with no expense spared. From the vintage and top of the line Warn M8274 to the amazing
headlights from JW Speaker,

the list of added accessories and custom work on this vehicle doesn't stop. Not only does it look perfect, it
drives and more importantly works fantastic out on the trails where it was meant to be.

Shown on one of the images, it comes with a roof top tent (also in perfect shape). If your looking for a vehicle
that turns heads no matter where you drive it,

easily cruises over any obstacle you put in front of it, and uber reliable...this 1980 Land Rover Series II Model
109 is perfect. Plus, it is priced well below other "Defenders"

out there with half the whistles and bells that this beauty has.

Jaguar Land Rover UK factories could shut down in two weeks due to coronavirus

Tue, Feb 18 2020

COVENTRY, England — Jaguar Land Rover has enough parts from China to maintain its British production for the next two weeks but not beyond that at the moment, Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Tuesday. Britain's biggest carmaker, which operate three car factories in its home market, joined major global companies such as Apple in warning of the impact of the virus on supply chains. The rapidly spreading virus has killed nearly 1,900 in China and stricken some 72,000 people, confining millions to their homes, disrupting supply chains and delaying reopening of factories after the extended Lunar New Year holiday break. "We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have... parts missing," said Speth when asking about the potential impact on British production. He said the firm's Chinese factory would open next week and was "safe for the very first week." Sales were not currently happening in China and it was unclear when they would return, he added. The boss of Tata Motors, JLR's parent company, speaking at the same event, said the company does not have sufficient visibility regarding parts suppliers from China. "We are safe for the month of February and for a good part of March," said Guenter Butschek. "Are we fully covered at this point of time for the full month of March? Unfortunately...not."

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission

Sat, Dec 20 2014

Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
