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 Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Land Rover plotting high-performance Disco Sport, Evoque
Tue, Jan 20 2015Jaguar 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.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
