Legendary Land Rover Defender 109-Series III 3 door wagon with Safari Roof offered for sale. This 1978 Left Hand Drive was originally owned by the Embassy of Switzerland and was used as a people mover rather than a Defender work horse.  It has only 56K KM or 36K miles.  This eye catching 109 is 100% US legal and has passed all of the regulatory import EPA, DOT & DMV guidelines and is currently titled & registered in Connecticut. It is in all original configuration and is in exceptional condition.  It is privately owned and used around the countryside on weekends in Connecticut.  It drives nicely and looks great.  It has its original 2.25 liter gasoline motor and has its 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive. It shifts smoothly and properly and all of the axles, and propshafts are all tight and in good order.

 Its custom interior was fitted some years ago but its eye catching interior is in excellent condition and makes it a conversation topic where ever you drive it.  Its light weight aluminum roof does detach so you can convert it into an instant beach cruiser.  The aluminum body, doors and panels all fit properly and there is no appearance of rot or rust.  It's pretty much all original aside from its interior updates.  It is mechanically sound, reliable and strong inside and out.  It has been extensively reviewed and inspected for its current owner.  It has been refreshed as needed with all fluids etc. to ensure driver reliability. It can accommodate transport of 10-11 people with smiles and excitement.  

This is a great investment which will only rise in value.  Rarely do such classic Land Rovers of this quality, condition and history ever come to market.  Don't miss this opportunity to purchase such a pedigree.  Buy with confidence.  You won't be disappointed.  For additional information, call John at 727-215-0109 or email jgy702@yahoo.com.

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues

Tue, Aug 2 2022

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident.  Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3.  "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly.  "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months.  Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:
