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.. |

Jaguar Land Rover signs manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr
Thu, Jul 2 2015Jaguar Land Rover is in the midst of implementing big plans. Those include a raft of new models, and a series of new manufacturing facilities to build them. It seems, however, that the former is outpacing the latter, as the British automaker has just announced a new manufacturing contract to have some of its vehicles built off-site. The latest deal is with Magna Steyr, the contract manufacturer based in Graz, Austria. That could see a Land Rover produced at the same facility that has handled the Mercedes G-Class since 1979, or a Jaguar at the same place that assembled the Aston Martin Rapide until 2012 when production was moved back to the UK. The big question at this point is just what JLR will choose to have Magna build on its behalf. The British automaker isn't saying at this point, but a spokesman confirmed to Autoblog that it will be a future product – not an existing line moved from its current production site to the contract manufacturer, as Mercedes recently did with the R-Class. A timeline wasn't announced at this early stage, either, but we're told it will take about 24 months before new Jaguars or Land Rovers start rolling out of the plant in Austria. Just what those new vehicles will be remains to be seen, but Jaguar Land Rover has a number of new products on their way. It is expected to reveal in the near future a new Defender, a replacement for the current LR4/Discovery, the new Evoque convertible, a new XJ flagship sedan, and possibly a new coupe and convertible to take the place of the old XK. We'll soon see the new Jaguar F-Pace, which may be followed by additional crossovers as well. The company also recently introduced the new XE, XF, and Discovery Sport models, though given the timeframes, they'll almost certainly be produced at JLR's existing facilities. It recently opened its first overseas plant in China, has another one under construction in Brazil, and is also said to be considering a plant in North America on either side of the US-Mexican border. Jaguar Land Rover Signs Contract Manufacturing Agreement With Magna Steyr Whitley, UK - Jaguar Land Rover has agreed a manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr, an operating unit of Magna International Inc, to build some future vehicles in Graz, Austria.
Editors' Picks, May 2023: Some Subarus and a pair of luxury SUVs
Thu, Jun 1 2023The month of May saw a number of new vehicles jump into the pool of Editors' Picks. Subaru grabbed a pair with its brand-new generation of Crosstrek for 2024, and the Legacy earns one in the ever-shrinking midsize sedan segment. In the luxury space, we have one entry from Britain and one from here at home. The new Range Rover already got an Editors' Pick, but now the Range Rover Sport joins the ranks. The Corsair earned Editors' Pick status before its update, too, but now the refreshed version rejoins the ranks. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Subaru Legacy 2023 Subaru Legacy View 15 Photos Quick take: The Legacy brings all-wheel drive with sedan dynamics to a shrinking segment, and it does so with a competitive price, respectable tech and tons of utility. Score: 7.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 Pros: All-wheel drive in every trim, spunky turbo engine, tons of space in the rear and trunk Cons: CVT makes for a dull drive, infotainment is clunky, styling is on the bland side From the editors: Associate Editor Byron Hurd — "Not everybody has abandoned sedans. Not only is Subaru keeping some of its eggs in this four-door basket, but it's dyeing them in some festive shades. The new turbocharged and tightened Sport model makes a great case for itself as a grown-up WRX without all the GT-themed nonsense. Shame about the CVT." In-depth analysis: 2023 Subaru Legacy gets Sport trim, more tech, fresh design  2023 Range Rover Sport Quick take: It may not be outwardly sporty, but the Range Rover Sport has a killer design, gorgeous interior, buttery-smooth driving characteristics and a clean tech interface.
Jaguar XE to be built in China
Mon, Dec 29 2014After a six-year absence, the Jaguar XE will return that most English of automotive companies to the compact premium segment, the brand's first whole-hearted launch into that market. For certain Western markets it begins production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull early next year, but it will also continue the brand's venture in to China having been chosen as the first Jaguar to be built there, according to a report in Automotive News. Jaguar-Land Rover owns a plant in Changshu, a joint venture with Chery Automobile, that started building the Range Rover Evoque this year and will add the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Previously, The Leaping Cat was selling cars built from kits at its factory in Pune, India. The brand figures to sell 20,000 cars in China next year, which would be less than a fifth of in-country sales for the JLR group, but the XE is the "spearhead vehicle" that "could make significant inroads" there, according to Jaguar. For comparison, Audi moved 120,450 A4s alone and BMW sold more than 100,000 3 Series models in China in 2013. Globally, Jaguar is predicted to sell 80,000 units this year. By 2017, after the release of the XE, new XF and coming crossover, plus factory expansions in China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, it hopes to get that number up to 200,000 units; Forbes has a piece detailing why they think it's possible. The JLR group is shooting for a target of 850,000 units worldwide by 2020.
