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. On Jan-25-14 at 08:05:15 PST, seller added the following information: saturday update. raining britain today so no sidecar racing. cold miserable and thats the good points. so...smoke has cleared. it was the fuel metering on the pump. i looked at one of my other santana and the adjustable mixture screw was in a different place. so i reset it ...engine running of course. henry the black lab and myself drove to the coast in this santana about 60 miles..and its fine now. have left it outside to see what happens in morning. but i suggest it will be fine. exhaust has had a pipe attachment fitted where pipe had cracked..so exhaust fine. we can still quote for replacement unit for preventive work..remember parts are much cheaper in uk..makes sense.. two happy bunnies at the coast..me and my dog and a land rover. reserve is double current bid, and its great value after that. its a very pleasing vehicle to own and drive. and with the power steering one forgets its a land rover. if you do have anything interesting..do send some photos.. sales@v1twn.com and its value.. |

Check out King Charles III's $17.6 million car collection
Fri, May 5 2023King Charles III's coronation will take place in England on May 6, and being crowned a monarch comes with a long list of perks with four wheels. He will gain full access to the Royal Family's fleet of cars, which is valued at about GBP14 million (approximately $17.6 million). The two most expensive cars in the collection are nearly identical: they're a pair of Bentley State Limousine models (pictured) built for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III's mother, in 2002. Only two units were made, and they're both part of the Royal Family's fleet, so they're difficult to put a value on; it's not like one is going to end up listed on your favorite auction site anytime soon. British company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which compiled the list, estimates that each armored, 245-inch long sedan is worth at least GBP10,000,000 (roughly $12.6 million). Dropping below the eight-digit threshold, the second-most-valuable car in the Royal Family's fleet isn't really a car. It's the Gold State Coach, which Matchbox recently released a 1/64-scale replica of, and its value is estimated at GBP1.6 million (about $2 million). At 275 inches long it's even bigger than the Bentley limousine and it weighs about 9,000 pounds. It's 261 years old and designed to be pulled by eight horses, and has been part of every coronation since 1831. The rest of the Royal Family's vehicles are relatively mundane. There's a 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, bought for King Charles III on his 21st birthday. It's worth GBP1 million (about $1.2 million). The collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (about $627,000), a Bentley Bentayga (about $201,000), a Land Rover Range Rover long-wheelbase Landaulet ($133,000), a Jaguar XE (about $41,000), and a Land Rover Defender ($38,000). "Luxury cars have long been associated with the monarch and King Charles III, in particular, is known for his fondness of motor vehicles. His impressive collection features sentimental value with motors passed down from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to cars bought for him by his parents," explained Keith Hawes, the director of Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, in an interview with CBS News. Being at the head of a car-making nation's royal family also comes with drawbacks: Every vehicle in King Charles III's fleet is British.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
