1983 Land Rover Series III
*Ebay does not recognize older VIN numbers from the UK. The truck is a 1983 NOT a 1980.* This 1983 Land Rover Series III was recently imported from England and is one of the last years for the Series vehicles before Land Rover introduced the Defender. It is in very good mechanical condition and a full factory recommended service and inspection has been carried out on the vehicle. The work performed includes but is not limited to:
Mechanically the truck is in turn-key condition and can be driven anywhere. There are a few small oil leaks that do not cause measurable fluid loss between service intervals. The truck also has a new interior which includes new seats, center console, carpet set and molded rubber floor mats. The dashboard has been rebuilt and the metal parts re-painted. The cowl vents were also refurbished including new rubber gaskets. The heater and ventilation controls have been refurbished as well and work properly. The new heater core produces plenty of heat for the truck which is rare for an older Land Rover. Structurally the truck is in very good condition with only minor surface rust on a few small spots on the chassis. Some frame corrosion was repaired professionally in the UK and the frame and underbody was coated with Waxoyl as a corrosion protectant, the coating is still in very good condition.
The body on the truck is in good condition with no rust or corrosion issues. The door bottoms, which are a common point of failure on the older Rovers are in good shape with no rust-through. The footwells have been repaired in the past and are solid and in good condition. The bulkhead (firewall) is in very good condition with no rust-through, which is also a common problem with older Land Rovers. All glass is original and in good condition with no chips or cracks. The rubber door seals have been replaced and are in good condition. The paint is in fair condition with some oxidation from the sun on the horizontal surfaces that could be buffed out. The paint job is an older re-paint and there are some small dime to nickel sized spots where the paint has flaked off to the original paint. The worst area is on the rear door. There are two areas I have identified where some amateur body work has been done that could stand to be re-done. One is n the front drivers side fender, the other is on the rear tub near a wheel well. The body has multiple small dents that are to be expected with a utility vehicle of this age.
The truck includes an original owners manual, lug wrench, and hand crank for the engine. The rear load space of the truck has been professionally lined with aluminum chequer plate for durability when carrying loads. There is a folding bench seat with seatbelt in the back of the truck. This vehicle has the enclosed roof and cap, but if the new owner would like it supplied with a canvas convertible top that can be arranged for additional cost. The vehicle is in stock condition and configuration but If any other accessories or modifications are desired by the buyer that can be arranged before the vehicle is delivered. The truck can be delivered anywhere and I can arrange shipping. Thank you for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this vehicle.

Jaguar Land Rover won't get a bailout from the UK
Sun, Aug 16 2020Bailout talks between Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel with the UK government have ended, leaving both firms to rely on private financing to overcome the impact of coronavirus on business, the Financial Times reported on Friday. The report said that talks for an emergency funding fell through as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) did not qualify for taxpayer support. It is the luxury car unit of India's Tata Motors and Tata Steel, both owned by Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The bailout plan, titled "Project Birch", had been authorized by Finance Minister Rishi Sunak in May to rescue companies that are seen as strategically important, with the Treasury saying it may step in to support crucial businesses on a "last resort" basis after other options run out. The report, citing a source familiar with the matter, said that the funding scheme became infeasible for Tata as it imposed strict conditions on any lending. "Tata Steel remains in ongoing and constructive talks with the UK Government on areas of potential support," Tata Steel said in an emailed statement. The UK Treasury said it would not comment on individual companies. Tata Motors did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Jaguar Land Rover to upgrade Castle Bromwich plant to build EVs
Fri, Jul 5 2019LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover is making a multi-million pound investment to build electric vehicles in Britain, in a major boost for the UK government and a sector hit by the slump in diesel sales and Brexit uncertainty. Britain's biggest car company, which built 30 percent of the UK's 1.5 million cars last year, will make a range of electrified vehicles at its Castle Bromwich plant in central England, beginning with its luxury saloon, the XJ. "The future of mobility is electric and, as a visionary British company, we are committed to making our next generation of zero-emission vehicles in the UK," Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Friday. The announcement gives a boost to Britain's automotive sector hit this year by Honda and Ford's plans to close factories. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has highlighted the dangers of a no-deal Brexit and the need to maintain frictionless trade with the European Union, echoing warnings from the industry that just-in-time production could be hit by customs delays and additional bureaucracy. But it has signed a deal with workers at the Castle Bromwich factory to go from a five-day to a four-day working week with the same amount of hours which should allow the plant to operate more efficiently. Three of JLR's four European car plants are in Britain, giving it limited capacity elsewhere on the continent. The other, in Slovakia, only opened last year and is still being ramped up with other models allocated there. "We are making this investment because the ongoing Brexit uncertainty has left us with no choice, we had to act, for our employees and our business," JLR said. "We are committed to the UK as our home and will fight to stay here but we need the right deal." Both candidates to replace Prime Minister Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, have both said they are prepared to take Britain out of the EU on Oct. 31 without a deal, although it is not their preferred option. Brexiteers have argued that the EUÂ’s biggest economy Germany, which exports hundreds of thousands of cars to Britain ever year, would do its utmost to protect that trade Friday's announcement comes after a turbulent few months for Jaguar which announced around 4,500 job cuts earlier in January and posted a 3.66 billion pound ($4.5 billion) loss in 2018/19.
Jaguar F-Type SVR and Range Rover Evoque Convertibles go rainbow for Pride
Sat, Jun 29 2019BMW isn't the only automobile company getting involved in Pride Week, as Jaguar Land Rover announced it also has cars that will participate. And yes, they're convertibles with rainbow stripes. On Sunday, June 30, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will participate in the NYC Pride March with several themed vehicles and employees walking next to them. JLR chose two of its most intriguing vehicles in the Jaguar F-Type SVR convertible and the Range Rover Evoque Convertible. Jaguar unveiled two different F-Type SVRs, one in a gorgeous blue and the other in white. Both cars have the same detailing, though, including rainbow stripes on the the sides, rear bumpers, and hoods. The F-Types also have rainbow stripes across the tops of their windshields, and "JAG YOU ARE" decals across the windshields and rear bumpers. The silver Evoque is only slightly different. It, too, has rainbow stripes across its doors, rear bumper, and windshield. Rather than a "JAG YOU ARE" decal, however, "EVOQUE" is spread across the front bumper in rainbow lettering. You can check out these unique models at the Pride parade in NYC.
