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. |

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

Jaguar Land Rover said to favor Europe rather than US for new plant
Sat, Feb 21 2015With its plants running at full tilt, Jaguar Land Rover is in desperate need of additional manufacturing capacity. That's led to reports that the Indian-owned British company was looking to join European, Japanese and Korean automakers in America's southern states, all while it opened new plants in the UK and China. The company even announced it would be building the Land Rover Discovery Sport in Brazil. Now, though, reports are suggesting that JLR is looking at Europe for a new facility, rather than the US, with Automotive News claiming the company's execs are eyeing the lower costs afforded by Austria and Turkey. The report cites the Birmingham Post (UK), the broadsheet that's closest to the company's headquarters. According to the original report, labor costs and wage disputes with unions are ruling out another factory in the UK, while those same disputes with labor outfits may also be souring the automaker on a US facility. "At this stage Europe seems more likely than America. The union pay dispute had a big effect," an unnamed source told the Post. "There is a feeling of alienation that has been left over from the way the pay talks were handled." JLR, meanwhile, offered a solid no comment to the Post, with a spokesperson saying, "No decision has been taken on future manufacturing locations. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our manufacturing footprint in the future." Related Video:
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
