Land Rover 109 Stage 1 Series 3 V8 Station Wagon Extremely Rare on 2040-cars

Land Rover 109 stage 1 v8 station wagon, VIN SALLBCMV2AA101794 To see over 40 pictures, email me for a link. Ebay won't allow me to place the link in the ad. Yes,
a 109 Stage 1 V8 - one of the best and most sought after Land Rovers. Possibly one of the rarest in the US as well. If
you don't know much about the stage 1 V8, here's some useful background info
from various sites: "Stage 1" refers to the first stage of investment
by the British Government in the company to improve the Land Rover and Range
Rover product offerings, which eventually led to the Land Rover 90 and 110. The
use of the Range Rover engine and drive train made it the only Series III
vehicle to have permanent four-wheel drive. From
Landroverclub.net, an entire site dedicated to stage 1 V8's: "The Stage One V8 is - in our opinion - the best
Series Three ever built. Where diesel engines just lack power or 2 1/4 engines
lose power after 150,000 kms, the Stage One V8 keeps going strong. There is
nothing comparable to that joy when Sally, the prototype, revs up to 120
kms/75miles/h or passed impenetrable mudholes crossed by sheer torque. " This
Land Rover is in great condition for its age.
The body is straight, the motor runs strong and smooth. The dual carbs are a little touchy and may
need to be tuned for your altitude (I'm at 5500 feet and had them serviced last
year, running well). This
is not a restored land rover but is in great shape for its year. The original front seats have been replaced
for a set of Discovery seats, which I really like. The front grille is of course not stock but I
prefer the Defender grille, but a purest would probably replace it for the
stock wire grille. The paint is old and
was probably an inexpensive paint job. It looks
good from 10 feet away but when you get close you can see the chips and
scratches. Odometer says 137,000 KM (85,000 miles), believed to be accurate, but I don't have documentation to verify. A VIN check will indicate that this vehicle is left had drive. It was indeed flipped to RHD at some point in its life. It could be flipped back to LHD without issue but I actually prefer the RHD. All
of the gauges and lights work. This is a great vehicle and someone will enjoy this. I just don't drive it and need the garage space. I'm
into this over 17,000 and my reserve is set well below that. Please remember that this vehicle is 31 years old but fantastic condition for its age. Please give me a call or message with any further questions, and if you're local, feel free to come and see it.
The investment programme also produced the 5 door Range Rover, and
culminated in the replacement of the Series III Land Rovers by the coil-sprung
110" and 90" Land Rovers in 1983 and 1984 respectively. The Stage 1 introduced some new features which would be carried
forward to the 90/110 range. Permanent four wheel drive - most previous series
models had selectable 2 or 4 wheel drive. The radiator was moved forwards which
gave us the flat fronted appearance still seen on the Defender. The bonnet was
llonger than the 'standard' Series IIIs, rounded at the front and wrapping
around at the leading edge. The door locks are mounted in the door skin rather
than in the handle aperture (also carried on to military Defenders)." |

SVR plans to tune electrified Jaguar-Land Rover models, but not the I-Pace
Sun, May 24 2020Jaguar-Land Rover's SVR division has only put its name on high-horsepower gasoline-burning cars, like the XE Project 8 built in strictly limited numbers. It's open to the idea of tuning electrified models, whether they're electric or hybrid, but it confirmed it's not currently planning on making a spicier evolution of the I-Pace. "We will be developing electrified versions of our cars, be that fully electrified or plug-in hybrids," affirmed Michael van der Sande, the division's managing director, in an interview with Auto Express. But although the electric I-Pace (pictured) raced in a one-make race series held on the sidelines of Formula E events for two seasons, and SVR could credibly claim to inject track DNA into a street car, it stressed the I-Pace doesn't appear in its product plans for reasons that remain a little bit murky. Jaguar announced the end of the eTrophy series in May 2020, which might explain why it's reluctant to exploit racing's marketing power. "There are other various things we are working on which we can't talk about, but we're very interested in electrification. That's why we got involved in eTrophy," van der Sande clarified. "The technology transfer, the learning applies to that car and other cars but we're not planning an SVR I-Pace at the moment." His comments confirm we'll need to be patient to see what SVR's take on an electric or hybrid car looks like. One of the first electrified models to receive the go-fast treatment might be the next-generation XJ tentatively scheduled to make its debut before the end of 2020. It will be exclusively electric, though it won't look as radical as the I-Pace, so Jaguar will need to find a way to replace the hot-rodded XJR 575 model it positioned at the top of the last-generation model's line-up. It's not too far-fetched to speculate the next Range Rover also due out in the coming months will receive some degree of electrification, and it could spawn an SVR-tuned model, too. Related Video:

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
