Land Rover Series Iii Lwb 109 Zombie Assault Vehicle, Surf/safari Rover!!!! Rhd on 2040-cars
Gilbert, Arizona, United States

It’s my pleasure to
introduce Her Royal Majesty Olive. She’s a 41 year old Queen. This 1973 11
passenger, yes you can cram 11 people inside, used Land Rover Series III. She’s
in great shape, minor surface rust, but was just driven from California to
Arizona in 108 degree heat and didn’t have any problems. This LR is perfect for
a daily driver, perfect for restoration, camping or surf vehicle. It would also be the
ultimate Zombie Assault Vehicle (ZAV) normal wear and tear for a 41 year old
vehicle. As you can see she’s right hand drive, has the ladder in the back with
the massive roof rack. All lights work and mechanically runs fine, HRM Olive
has driven from Florida to California to Arizona without any problems. Right hand drive, why would you even consider left hand on a British vehicle! A massive galvanized steel safari roof rack with access ladder! Olive has A/C that's mounted in the rear this cost $2,741.96 I have numerous receipts. Has Fairey overdrive. Spare tire on hood and rear door, I also have 2 spare inter tubes for the tires. She has a center console, and storage under the front passenger seat. Engine Bulkhead is in good condition with no penetrating rust as is the chassis and floorboards under the protective rubber. She's slow but fun to drive, only a little 4 cylinder engine. Crawls like a mountain goat when in 4 wheel drive. Needs new weather stripping all around if you choose to replace them. Car was repainted and shows its age, but why would you even consider waxing this unless you wanted a bolt off restoration... Interior is good with no rips in the upholstery, headliner is
original. Dash has one small crack, no biggie. Right hand door has ding in it and previous owner used bondo,
size is about a quarter. All glass is good Very minimal surface rust on frame and doors, no rust has
penetrated the frame, door, or body. Mileage I'm not certain since this vehicle is 41 years old. Olive is driven on a
regular basis. Olive is currently located in the Phoenix metro area. Olive is definitely an eye catcher, people will look at you and
you do get a lot of thumbs up!!!!
Detailed Specifications from Wikipedia: The Series III had the same body
and engine options as the preceding IIa, including station wagons and the 1 Ton
versions. Little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III.
The Series III is the most common Series vehicle, with 440,000 of the type
built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights
were moved to the wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward
(ostensibly to comply with Australian, American and Dutch lighting regulations)
and remained in this position for the Series III. The traditional metal grille,
featured on the Series I, II and IIA, was replaced with a plastic one for the
Series III model. The 2.25-litre engine had its compression raised from 7:1 to
8:1, increasing the power slightly (the high compression engine had been an
optional fit on the IIa model for several years). During the Series III
production run from 1971 until 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the
production line in 1976. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of
its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition. This
was the first model to feature synchromesh on all four
gears, although some late H-suffix SIIA models (mainly the more expensive
Station Wagons) had used the all-synchro box. In keeping with early 1970s
trends in automotive interior design, both in safety and use of more advanced
materials, the simple metal dashboard of earlier models was redesigned to
accept a new moulded plastic dash. The instrument cluster, which was previously
centrally located, was moved to the driver's side. Long-wheelbase Series III
vehicles had the Salisbury rear axle (the differential housing and axle case
are one piece)[clarification needed] as standard, although some late SIIA 109-inch (2,800 mm)
vehicles had them too. In 1980, the four-cylinder
2.25-litre engines (both petrol and diesel) were updated with five-bearing
crankshafts to increase strength in heavy duty work. At the same time the transmission,
axles and wheel hubs were
re-designed for increased strength. This was the culmination of a series of
updates to the transmission that had been made since the 1960s to combat the
all-too-common problem of the rear axle half-shafts breaking in heavy usage.
This problem was partly due to the design of the shafts themselves. Due to the
fully floating design of the rear wheel hubs, the half shafts can be removed
very quickly without even having to jack the vehicle off the ground. The
tendency for commercial operators to overload their vehicles exacerbated this
flaw which blighted the Series Land Rovers in many of their export markets and
established a reputation that continues in many markets to the present day.
This is despite the 1982 re-design (mainly the increase of driving-splines from 10 to
24 to reduce stress) that all but solved the problem. Also, new trim options were
introduced to make the interior more comfortable if the buyer so wished (many
farmers and commercial users preferred the original, non-trimmed interior). These changes culminated in April
1982 with the introduction of the "County" spec. Station Wagon Land
Rovers, available in both 88-inch (2,200 mm) and 109-inch (2,800 mm)
types. These had all-new cloth seats from the Leyland T-45 Lorry,
soundproofing kits, tinted glass and other "soft" options designed to
appeal to the leisure owner/user. Of more interest was the
introduction of the High Capacity Pick Up to the 109-inch (2,800 mm)
chassis. This was a pick-up truck load bay that offered 25% more cubic capacity
than the standard pick-up style. The HCPU came with heavy-duty suspension and
was popular with public utility companies and building contractors.
1 Ton 109 inch The 1 Ton 109 inch was
produced from 1968 to 1977, covering late IIA and series III Models. It was
basically a Series IIB Forward Control built with a standard 109 in body,
featuring 2.6-litre petrol engine, lower ratio gearbox, ENV front and rear
axles, (Salisbury front and rear on later Series IIIs) though some late IIAs
were fitted with ENV axles in front and Salisbury on the rear. Later series
IIIs had a Rover type front axle with uprated differential. The chassis frame was
unique to the model and featured drop-shackle suspension similar to the
military series Land Rovers. 900x16 tyres were a standard feature and these
machines were commonly used by utility companies and breakdown/recovery firms.
Only 170 IIA and 238 Series IIIs (1 Ton) were built for the home market. Export
markets had even fewer examples, making this one of the rarest types of
Land-Rover ever built.

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.
BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech
Wed, Jun 5 2019FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
