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)." |

Jaguar Land Rover details JustDrive connectivity suite
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
