You are looking at a 1972 Land Rover Series III (North American version) 16000 of this version were produced, I dont know how many have survived, but this one has excelled. The North American version has the negative earth electrical system which is less problematic, it also has the original factory left hand drive, which means no knock around mechanic conversion which sometimes uses non factory parts which if problems ever occur, repairing can be very difficult and expensive.

This Rover had a complete over haul by the East Coast Rover in 1999. It included a conversion to a lifetime galvanized frame which will never rust. top end rebuild and new front fender wings axle work etc. whatever was needed to be done was done professionally. This overhaul cost about $19000. All receipts have been put into binders and all maintenance is current and done by professionals. The Rover is a daily driver so as things occur, they are repaired. I turn they key and the old girl is ready to go.

Engine. Point system removed, converted to electronic ignition. easy conversion and can easily be reversed in about 10 minutes for authenticity. Ungraded weber carb. Still uses oil bath air cleaning system. Four wheel drive and trans shift smooth and perform as they should. PTO system is ready for a shaft if you should choose to use it.

Body. The body is in very good condition. Front wings are spotless, rear quarter on driver side has an imperfection but is not very noticeable. There is a stainless roof rack ($2400 inc shipping) with all the goodies, high lift jack, jerry cans and a custom fog light kit and bar set. This allows you to take off the roof in the summer and still have all the storage of the rack to bring your stuff along.

Interior. Front seats are fairly new. Defender seats. rear are the fold up type. Landy currently seats 6 but have the middle seat for the front and could seat 7.

I hate top let her go but have to get a pick-up truck for work so its time to let go.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
