LAND ROVER 88 INCH SWB STATION WAGON DIESEL ONE OWNER LHD WITH POWER STEERING.
YES POWER STEERING..UNLIKE A LATER DEFENDER WITH POWER STEERING, THIS IS LIGHT AND POLITE TO DRIVE AND 2 FINGER PARKING AND REVERSING..NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER SAY THAT WITH A LAND ROVER. ONE OWNER FROM NEW, FIRST MANUFACTURED 1977 WHERE LAND ROVER SANTANA SPAIN DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION 20-05-1977 VIN, E57704093 TYPE 88 DIESEL LEFT HAND DRIVE 2250 4 CYLINDER 4 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX. bought this on one of our european land rover and classic vehicle buying expeditions recently. with a massive choice of interesting vehicles bought, from a fire engine to several santana i personally decided to drive this vehicle as it had power steering, and in all my 55 years of living...and over 600 land rover owned and sold i have never owned a series land rover with factory option fitted power steering. its american light to drive. unlike the defender with power steering which is assisted power steering... this is full power steering. one owner, SENORITA MARIA JESUS FERNANDEZ POLLEDO who had it for her 33 rd birthday present. and has kept it ever since. was fully restored for her 50th birthday present and has been used ever since using the same garage all its life. not surprisingly i was met at the airport, half a tank of diesel and new fan belt included, along with all its paperwork and history. drive home took ages as was going from place to place looking and buying vehicles. inspected 34 vehicles of all types, and scooters.. and bought 8 of the bunch..3000 miles on 6 days in total.. i drove this vehicle 1644 miles on my own..in my own little slow world with people waving, truck drivers beeping their horns while overtaking...oh they where overtaking not me heheheheheehhe.. speed. on the original small tyres..50 mph. pulls like a train so a much larger tyre profile would give it an extra 10 mph which would be nice on the freeway. around town its same speed as anything else. so after 1644 miles..and driving in uk since..i collected the father in laws big wood trailer today..i can say from an engineers point of view...i know this vehicle inside out. faults as it sits in my workshop i have found. remembering its a 1977 commercial vehicle (the sticker on fender says its commercial in spain) 1. smokes on start up like most diesel do. this could be made better with injectors serviced and reset am sure..(we can quote for this) 2. front propshaft has play in the slider, normal thing..(we can quote for replacement) 3.rear chassis cross member is original. some wear and tear but is not a safety issue and tows trailer well.(we can quote for preventive chassis work) 4.washer jets not working..has original push button type(we can quote for new electric replacement system) 5.exhaust has a split near muffler, can weld up for free (we can quote for new exhaust system) 6.several age related land rover dings and dents (we can quote for all bodywork and paintwork including professional colour change. 7.most santana from spain do not come with winter heater. (we can quote to supply and fit series 3 cab heater and demister system) 8. being commercial in spain,.this santana does not have seat belts fitted (we can quote for seat belts and fitting service) other than that its a peach...to be honest..if i keep it i will weld the exhaust, service injection system and washer jets replacement and i would be very pleased to drive it as my second vehicle winter and summer. santana series where built in spain..in knocked down kit form KCD. it was clear early on improvement could be easily made to these vehicles but the british being stubborn would not listen,,,so santana land rover did their own improvements..like the hard top..built out of GRP RESIN and higher than original..cool in summer warm in winter..and no condensation. roof is approx 3 inches thick. wiring looms much improved. doors locks always work. and larger radiator fitted as standard. a much improved air filter setup from MANN in germany is used(stops the normal diesel engine boom and drone) along with many other small but useful improvements. the dollar is not good against the uk pound at present. not my fault blame the governments. but in the same breath, a lhd series 3 diesel that does 40 mpg with power steering is rarer than hens teeth, and with the knowledge of driving this vehicle all across the continent back to blighty you can buy it with personal insight to its condition. i encourage any inspection. we can provide a professional appraisal service totally independant if required, or will cater for the needs of your chosen inspector, a word of note..use a professional service not some chummy chummy owners club nerd who only wants to talk about their own vehicle. your money. i can ship worldwide. do ask for a quote. you can ship cheaper due to dollar rate. i will still help. or i offer a bespoke menu service so all you do is go to docks and drive away into sunset. i can arrange everything including paying your taxes and duties, customs agent etc. bespoke service starts from 2360 usd. includes everything. sales@v1twn.com 0044 1553 810318 uk times please. payment can be bank transfer- paypal accepted with buyer paying all fees__ or we will deal with something classic or useful.. harley servi car- early mustang- huge station wagon with plastic wood, extended work van..boss hoss....trike...indian motorcycle...do ask..dealing is fun.. also in stock is a fully restored show shine quality british racing green swb santana..but its $27340 usd shipped taxes paid. but it is the best of the best. no loony tunes please. too busy for that. be well.

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace
Thu, Feb 19 2015Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.

JLR shares backstage 'No Time to Die' Range Rover Sport SVR carnage
Sat, Sep 18 2021James Bond's latest adventures will take him to Norway and Scotland, as seen in the trailer for the upcoming "No Time to Die." Somewhere along the way, the British spy encounters a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs, the ultimate high-performance SUV from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations division in one of the movie's centerpiece car chases. Now, the company has given us a behind-the-scenes look at its filming, and the automotive carnage that ensues. The filmmakers wanted to take a Bond action sequence off-road, and chose the Range Rover Sport SVR as the the bad guys' pursuit vehicle. Armed with a JLR product placement deal (Bond drives a new Defender in another part of the movie) the henchmen had no qualms picking one of the most expensive things on the menu. Unfortunately, that also makes is a bit hard to watch when machines that start at $115,000 are totaled as they careen through the air or roll onto their roofs. The SVRs share a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with the Jaguar F-Type SVR and are the most powerful vehicles in the Land Rover portfolio. With 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, translating to a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, they're the perfect weapon for chasing a super-spy down a dirt road. As for Bond himself, 007 makes his escape in a decades-old yellow Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Specifically, it's a 90-series, a smaller version built from 1996 to 2002 that was never sold in the U.S. but remains popular in other parts of the world. The most powerful engine had just 190 horsepower from a 3.4 liter V6 shared with the similar-era 4Runner. Despite the power discrepancy, Bond manages to dispatch the Range Rovers in spectacular fashion. Wait, this is a Range Rover promo, right? "All the stunts are for real, there's nothing that's CGI'ed," said Neil Layton, the film's action vehicle coordinator. "So to make the cars more dramatic on the screen, we had to turn off a lot of safety feature aids that's on there." Interestingly, another non-JLR product shows up in the video as well. The camera car is a blacked out (to minimize reflection in other cars) Ford F-150 Raptor outfitted with a massive rooftop boom. "No Time to Die" is hits the screens on October 8.
