Land Rover Series 3 Iii Military Style Convertible, Lhd With Fairey Overdrive on 2040-cars
Cambrils, Spain
|
Hi and welcome to my Auction for this 1976 Series 3, 2 and a quarter Diesel Military Land Rover replica. This car benefits from a brand new canvas soft top that can be removed completely or folded back to just behind the doors for a Truck cab look, new Desert storm yellow paint job excellent 10 seat capacity interior with the rear jump seats being fold able, nobody needs to get left out for the ride! It would make an excellent Hunting or Mountain Tour vehicle. Many new parts. New galvanized rear capping's and lights, new front lenses and new series 3 Grille and front light guards. New Lap belts in the front Freshly serviced and just passed it's government road test. Only 55,000 miles on the clock and drives like it too! A very tight Series 3 in all aspects. Freewheeling hubs. As you can see from the photos, the ladder frame chassis is in excellent original condition. With all the latest U.S. heightened checks on Defenders this is a major advantage as it is plain to see how original it is! This car will have no problems with the law upon entering the USA! The law for classic cars entering the U.S is that it must be over 25 years old. 37 is well over that! Left hand drive as well unlike UK cars! Being a Land Rover from Spain it is superb in it's originality. Spain is a hot, dry country for most days of the year and no harmful salt is used on the roads. A real killer of Land Rovers and Defenders from the UK and northern Europe. Many European Land Rover sellers are also re-fitting Land Rovers for sale to the U.S but these are being held up for longer due to increased vigilance over these vehicles. Don't be caught out! I track down only the best original cars and leave their key identity intact. Another advantage of coming from Spain is that they fitted their own interiors which are much more comfortable then the English cars. Everything else is the same standard Land Rover Series 3 as this was built in England (VIN plate is evidence of this) and then exported to the Land Rover Santana factory in Spain for finishing touches particular to the Spanish market such as the interior and different rear lights. This one has been put back to the proper Land Rover lights which is something I always do to my Vehicles. Many more photos here. Virtual test drive video here. The reliable diesel engine is non electronic (excellent Prepper vehicle!) and will run on just about any form of Diesel including Veg oil. I can arrange shipping to the States from Barcelona Port for $1900 on top of final purchase price. You are welcome to seek your own company if you can find cheaper. Remember this price is from Spain NOT the UK. If this is not what you want at this time i am constantly seeking out other vehicles. Please remember that this is a 37 year old classic car and as such there will be imperfections. It is not a 3 year old car! Please inspect the photos! We could have all the dings taken out but then we would be asking $20,000 like the others do! Overall for it's age a very straight original low miles car with the very desirable overdrive. I would also like to point you towards my 100% Feedback rating. all questions welcome, I am British so no language problems! If you message me you can skype if you prefer to talk on the phone. |

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers
Fri, Jun 5 2015California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
