Land Rover 109 Stage 1 V8 Station Wagon Original Barn Find on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
Land Rover 109 stage 1 v8 station wagon This is a barn find land rover stage 1 v8 station wagon that's very rare, it's in fantastic condition for being a 1983 and only has 90k on the clock, it's all original never been restored. There is minor surface rust as to be expected underneath please see the pictures. I had planned to do a nut and bolt rebuild on this 109 as it's so rare and is a appreciating classic, but due to other projects and lack of space it has to go, it's a perfect candidate to do a restore or to just use and enjoy. Before listing, I fitted new spark plugs, new HT leads, Dist cap and new battery, I also put a new exhaust and overhauled the brakes it fires right up and runs and drives and brakes perfectly, All the lights are working. The vehicle currently hasn't been registered but it's a very simple process and I have all the paperwork to do so. I also have all the import paperwork proving it's legally allowed to be in the states and is allowed to remain here permanently, it's EPA and DOT exempt being over 25 years old. Ebay won't let me input the UK vin "SALLBCMV1BA178893" 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)." |

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
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.
