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.

Land Rover plotting high-performance Disco Sport, Evoque

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about performance with its new SVR line of high-output machinery. We've already seen the Range Rover Sport SVR, and we're anticipating more to follow with SVR versions of the new Jaguar XE, Range Rover LWB, outgoing Land Rover Defender and plenty more. The lineup will eventually include performance versions of most, but not all of the British automaker's products. But while the smallest Land Rovers may not get the full-on SVR treatment, JLR reportedly has something in the works. According to Australian website Motoring, Land Rover is watching the segment and considering its options. It sees Audi with its SQ5, BMW planning performance versions of the X3 and X4, and Mercedes plotting an AMG version of the GLC that's set to replace the GLK. The question is just what Land Rover will do. Both the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque are based on the same D8 platform that incorporates transversely mounted inline-fours, so fitting something larger might be prohibitive, but a high-output turbo version of the new Ingenium four-cylinder engine design could do the trick. Considering what the likes of Volvo and Mercedes have managed to do with their high-strung turbo fours, Land Rover's approach could prove to be no slouch at all – even without the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 powering the flagship SVR models. In related news, Autovisie – the automotive section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf – projects that an SVR version of the Jaguar F-Type will be among the high-performance models coming up next. Slotting above the F-Type R with its 550 horsepower, the F-Type SVR will be even more powerful. The Project 7 speedster packaged a 575-hp version of the same supercharged V8, potentially pointing the way forward for future SVR models.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

With a new Jaguar and the Shell app, your car can pay for its own gas

Wed, Feb 15 2017

Contactless payments are making their way into the car. Jaguar and Shell have the first major rollout, allowing you to pay for fuel through the car's touchscreen. Of course you'll still have to get out of the car to actually pump the fuel into the car, but hey, progress, right? Apple Pay and PayPal will be available payment methods from the start, and Android Pay will be added later. For this all to work, you'll need a new Jaguar (or Land Rover) with the InControl infotainment system, a connected phone with the InControl app and Shell app, some space in your tank, and some electronic money. When you pull up to a Shell station and launch the Shell app through the touchscreen, the car will use geolocation to figure out which station you're at and then prompt you to enter the pump number you're next to (don't want to pay for someone else's fuel now do you?). Once that's done, you tell the system how much fuel you want (it's not clear if you can just fill the tank like most normal people do) and then the screen in the car shows you a receipt; one is also sent to you via email. While this might just seem like trading one screen for another and entering info through your car instead of at the pump, contactless payments also have an added level of security over pulling out a credit card. (Credit card skimmers, which steal card data when you go to swipe at a kiosk or ATM, have been popular at gas stations.) It will also be welcome in the winter months, when you can limit your exposure time. Plus you'll never again have to respond to this incomplete sentence, which greets us at Shell stations everywhere: "Is this debit card?" InControl is available on every Jaguar and Land Rover model. And if you get this Shell app working on an F-Pace with the Jaguar Activity Key, you'll have the latest in minimal-touch technology. The system will roll out to people in the UK first and should arrive in the US later this year. Related Video: Jaguar Land Rover Technology Smartphone Luxury shell paypal
