Very Rare and unique 1978 Land Rover Series 3 109 inch wheel base 12 seater long wheel base truck in classic Hunter Green over Black. The working odometer shows 96,847 miles since new. I am the third owner of this Spec truck. Previous owner was meticulous. Truck starts on cue, drives quite well on the road or off. This is a salisbury rear axle 3/4 ton utility 4x4. Right hand drive, four speed, with hoop set and canvas top. This is a survivor, not a barn find or a restoration. It has seen regular use for most of its life and has received normal maintenance and repairs as needed. Body has almost no damage and painting  was done by a body shop. Chassis is in good shape from front to rear, but will require an outrigger. Rear cross member is new. Chassis was prep and painted with rust stop. Wiring is complete and in working order. All brake, headlights, turn signals, wiper blades, etc..are working. Series 3 transmission, synchronized. New front and rear Rocky Mountain parabolic springs with old man emu shocks. 16 inch land rover series wheels on new 7.50-16/112L Extra Traction Deestone tires. Interior is in excellent shape and has nice black series seats (no rips, tears or stains) and  cargo area seems to be in good shape for its age. Does have a small tear on the top dash close to the window. The canvas will need to be addressed. The sides are all fine but will need to have some of the minor holes patched up. This truck does not have the front locking hubs. Hi and low gear work as it should. All vents work as well. Steering is easy to move while driving around town. I added an high psi electric fuel pump. The 2.25 engine is great on gas and very simple to repair with just typical tools. There is a double pulley system on the crank, alternator and water pump. System currently has 2 belts driving the engine incase one snaps the engine will still continue running.  I purchased it with every intention to keep it because i have a tdi 5 speed conversion i was going to complete but would prefer a 5 door and girlfriend hates it and she is not getting used to it. I have already spent an additional $1500 on minor repairs to make sure it is safe and road worthy. I am trying to describe this as best as i can. Keep  in mind this is a 35 year old truck. So it is NOT perfect. I drive it and i cannot tell you the amount of thumbs up that i get from young and old alike. This truck gets looks and attention everywhere it goes. It looks great, run great, and is very unique. You don't usually find these trucks anymore in this great shape. This is my third Land Rover Series and im sure it wont be my last but i will miss this particular one. As new vehicles are depreciating, these gain it by every minute. There's not a price listed so you may do your research and come look at the vehicle to discuss price.please check out prices on eBay and other Land Rover forums. Im selling this truck at a very reasonable price. If you have any questions please send email. You are purchasing a this truck as is with no warranty.

Jaguar Land Rover may buy Silverstone racetrack for new HQ

Thu, Dec 3 2015

Jaguar Land Rover might add another chapter to its venerable motorsports legacy by purchasing the revered UK racetrack Silverstone to use as its new company headquarters. JLR could reportedly offer 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at current rates) to buy the circuit, according to Automotive News Europe, which cites several British media sources. The British automaker would then invest the equivalent of $78 million to turn the historic track into a celebration of the brand, including a museum, experience center, and hotel. The company would also construct space for its marketing team and engineers, Automotive News Europe reports. Motorsports would still continue there, too, which means the course's Formula One legacy is safe. Neither JLR nor the British Racing Drivers' Club, which leases the track, have confirmed the rumors. The BRDC only suggested that it received several confidential offers to purchase the circuit. Silverstone has a motorsports history that goes back to the late 1940s and is often the home to the Formula One British Grand Prix. The track's organizers have a long-term deal to continue hosting the F1 race, too. Today, the course also features major events from MotoGP and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In November, Jaguar released a video that celebrated some of its legacy at Silverstone by bringing the modern XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at the track. If the company's purchase happens, you can expect to see a lot more Jags and probably some Land Rovers lapping the course. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover backs Arc startup that sells $100,000 electric motorcycles

Wed, Nov 7 2018

Before it even put its first motorcycle on the road, new startup Arc reeled in a major player to back its ambitious product plan. In conjunction with the reveal of the fully electric Vector superbike at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori ( EICMA) show in Milan, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it is placing capital in Arc, using JLR's investment company InMotion Ventures. Arc claims the Vector is the first all-electric motorcycle with integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) to come to market. Arc, not to be confused with Keanu Reeve's Arch motorcycle company, has a pretty typical mission statement: "To use progressive design and technology to transform people's relationship with an automative experience. For us, for you, for our planet." At the core, Arc wants to make connected, clean, exclusive superbikes, and the Vector is its first try. Although Arc didn't get into the nitty gritty details about the make-up of the bike, it did give some surface specs and information. The bike's structure is built using a carbon composite to create a "unique Arc battery monocoque." Weight is also kept low using carbon fiber swing arms. There is no mention of the size or type of electric powertrain, but Arc claims it will have a highway range of about 120 miles or a city range of 170 miles on a single charge. Arc says it will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. Stopping power comes from a Brembo brake system, while ride and handling relies on Ohlins dampers. The launch does not stop at the motorcycle, but includes gear, as well. The Vector links up with a jacket and a helmet for a fully connected experience. Partnering with U.K.-based impact protection design company Knox, Arc created the Arc Pilot System. Using audio, the armored Origin riding jacket provides haptic feedback based on numerous riding inputs to help keep the driver safe and aware. Furthermore, Arc linked up with luxury helmet maker Hedon to build the WiFi-connected Zenith helmet that houses an integrated projection heads-up display. In addition to showing things such as speed or battery life of the bike, the helmet uses a built-in rear camera to display other vehicles in the rider's blind spots. The rider can command the system using controls on the bike or via voice commands.

Jaguar Land Rover says half its models will be hybrids or all-electric by 2020

Tue, Nov 22 2016

Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has ever been mistaken for big-time green-car brands, but their parent company is trying to change that. Jaguar Land Rover looks to have as many as half of its models be of the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or battery-electric variety by 2020, CEO Ralf Speth said at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Speth made the announcement while showing off the I-Pace concept compact crossover. The green-car expansion would mark a natural extension of Jaguar Land Rover's decision last year to double the headcount in its advanced-engineering department. As for the five-seat I-Pace, that model will be Jaguar Land Rover's first production electric vehicle when it starts sales in 2018. The car will have a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that will deliver a single-charge range of about 220 miles. Boasting more than 400 horsepower, the car will also be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about four seconds. What's also notable is that Jaguar says the model has been designed to be an electric vehicle from the ground up, and hasn't been converted from the platform of an existing model. Of course, Jaguar late last year said it would enter a team in the FIA Formula E electric-vehicle open-wheel racing circuit, so the British badge has made recent noise about upping its green-car quotient. As for the I-Pace, the automaker hasn't revealed pricing on the model, but it's safe to say that it will be quite high. Check out a three-minute video of Speth's presentation here. Related Video:
