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"

Please remember that this vehicle is 31 years old but fantastic condition for it's age. Please give me a call or message with any further questions, Viewing is welcome.

Here is a little bit of information about land rover 109,

"The Land Rover Stage 1 was so called because it was the first product of an investment programme that lead to the 90 and the 110 (later Defender D90 and D110). It was in effect what many Land Rover owners had been converting their standard SIII's into for many years - a SIII with a larger engine, in fact with the 3.5L V8 out of the Range Rover. The standard SIII gearbox could not really take this kind of power and torque, as the owners of home conversions often found out, so Land Rover fitted the Range Rover's LT95 full-time-4WD transmission too.

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)."

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
