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. |

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.
Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper
Thu, Feb 25 2021Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all. But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point. Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8. While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
