Land Rover Series Iii Lwb 109 Zombie Assault Vehicle, Surf/safari Rover!!!! Rhd on 2040-cars
Gilbert, Arizona, United States
It’s my pleasure to
introduce Her Royal Majesty Olive. She’s a 41 year old Queen. This 1973 11
passenger, yes you can cram 11 people inside, used Land Rover Series III. She’s
in great shape, minor surface rust, but was just driven from California to
Arizona in 108 degree heat and didn’t have any problems. This LR is perfect for
a daily driver, perfect for restoration, camping or surf vehicle. It would also be the
ultimate Zombie Assault Vehicle (ZAV) normal wear and tear for a 41 year old
vehicle. As you can see she’s right hand drive, has the ladder in the back with
the massive roof rack. All lights work and mechanically runs fine, HRM Olive
has driven from Florida to California to Arizona without any problems. Right hand drive, why would you even consider left hand on a British vehicle! A massive galvanized steel safari roof rack with access ladder! Olive has A/C that's mounted in the rear this cost $2,741.96 I have numerous receipts. Has Fairey overdrive. Spare tire on hood and rear door, I also have 2 spare inter tubes for the tires. She has a center console, and storage under the front passenger seat. Engine Bulkhead is in good condition with no penetrating rust as is the chassis and floorboards under the protective rubber. She's slow but fun to drive, only a little 4 cylinder engine. Crawls like a mountain goat when in 4 wheel drive. Needs new weather stripping all around if you choose to replace them. Car was repainted and shows its age, but why would you even consider waxing this unless you wanted a bolt off restoration... Interior is good with no rips in the upholstery, headliner is
original. Dash has one small crack, no biggie. Right hand door has ding in it and previous owner used bondo,
size is about a quarter. All glass is good Very minimal surface rust on frame and doors, no rust has
penetrated the frame, door, or body. Mileage I'm not certain since this vehicle is 41 years old. Olive is driven on a
regular basis. Olive is currently located in the Phoenix metro area. Olive is definitely an eye catcher, people will look at you and
you do get a lot of thumbs up!!!!
Detailed Specifications from Wikipedia: The Series III had the same body
and engine options as the preceding IIa, including station wagons and the 1 Ton
versions. Little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III.
The Series III is the most common Series vehicle, with 440,000 of the type
built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights
were moved to the wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward
(ostensibly to comply with Australian, American and Dutch lighting regulations)
and remained in this position for the Series III. The traditional metal grille,
featured on the Series I, II and IIA, was replaced with a plastic one for the
Series III model. The 2.25-litre engine had its compression raised from 7:1 to
8:1, increasing the power slightly (the high compression engine had been an
optional fit on the IIa model for several years). During the Series III
production run from 1971 until 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the
production line in 1976. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of
its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition. This
was the first model to feature synchromesh on all four
gears, although some late H-suffix SIIA models (mainly the more expensive
Station Wagons) had used the all-synchro box. In keeping with early 1970s
trends in automotive interior design, both in safety and use of more advanced
materials, the simple metal dashboard of earlier models was redesigned to
accept a new moulded plastic dash. The instrument cluster, which was previously
centrally located, was moved to the driver's side. Long-wheelbase Series III
vehicles had the Salisbury rear axle (the differential housing and axle case
are one piece)[clarification needed] as standard, although some late SIIA 109-inch (2,800 mm)
vehicles had them too. In 1980, the four-cylinder
2.25-litre engines (both petrol and diesel) were updated with five-bearing
crankshafts to increase strength in heavy duty work. At the same time the transmission,
axles and wheel hubs were
re-designed for increased strength. This was the culmination of a series of
updates to the transmission that had been made since the 1960s to combat the
all-too-common problem of the rear axle half-shafts breaking in heavy usage.
This problem was partly due to the design of the shafts themselves. Due to the
fully floating design of the rear wheel hubs, the half shafts can be removed
very quickly without even having to jack the vehicle off the ground. The
tendency for commercial operators to overload their vehicles exacerbated this
flaw which blighted the Series Land Rovers in many of their export markets and
established a reputation that continues in many markets to the present day.
This is despite the 1982 re-design (mainly the increase of driving-splines from 10 to
24 to reduce stress) that all but solved the problem. Also, new trim options were
introduced to make the interior more comfortable if the buyer so wished (many
farmers and commercial users preferred the original, non-trimmed interior). These changes culminated in April
1982 with the introduction of the "County" spec. Station Wagon Land
Rovers, available in both 88-inch (2,200 mm) and 109-inch (2,800 mm)
types. These had all-new cloth seats from the Leyland T-45 Lorry,
soundproofing kits, tinted glass and other "soft" options designed to
appeal to the leisure owner/user. Of more interest was the
introduction of the High Capacity Pick Up to the 109-inch (2,800 mm)
chassis. This was a pick-up truck load bay that offered 25% more cubic capacity
than the standard pick-up style. The HCPU came with heavy-duty suspension and
was popular with public utility companies and building contractors.
1 Ton 109 inch The 1 Ton 109 inch was
produced from 1968 to 1977, covering late IIA and series III Models. It was
basically a Series IIB Forward Control built with a standard 109 in body,
featuring 2.6-litre petrol engine, lower ratio gearbox, ENV front and rear
axles, (Salisbury front and rear on later Series IIIs) though some late IIAs
were fitted with ENV axles in front and Salisbury on the rear. Later series
IIIs had a Rover type front axle with uprated differential. The chassis frame was
unique to the model and featured drop-shackle suspension similar to the
military series Land Rovers. 900x16 tyres were a standard feature and these
machines were commonly used by utility companies and breakdown/recovery firms.
Only 170 IIA and 238 Series IIIs (1 Ton) were built for the home market. Export
markets had even fewer examples, making this one of the rarest types of
Land-Rover ever built.

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
