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 F-Pace SVR to debut this week at New York Auto Show

Mon, Mar 26 2018

It should come as no surprise that the folks back in England have been working on a hot new version of the Jaguar F-Pace. Today, just ahead of the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the British automaker confirmed that the Jaguar F-Pace SVR will debut this week. The new Jaguar I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe will make their North American debuts alongside the F-Pace. All we know about the F-Pace SVR is that it will be the fastest and most powerful version of Jaguar's best-selling product. We don't even have a teaser photo, as Jaguar Land Rover loves to play things close to the vest, so we're sharing some spy photos that we think might be the new model. Expect some version of JLR's 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We're hoping it's the 575 horsepower variant from the refreshed Range Rover Sport SVR. Expect 0-60 mph times in the low-4-second range and a top speed of at least 155 mph. The I-Pace and Range Rover SV Coupe both debuted earlier this month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The I-Pace is an all-electric crossover with an estimated 240 miles of range. The SV Coupe is a limited-production two-door variant of the full-size Range Rover. It's meant to be a throwback to the original two-door Range Rover Classic. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover

Sat, Feb 17 2024

At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History
