1967 Land Rover Series 109 Siia Nada Safari Station Wagon Restored on 2040-cars
Greenwood, South Carolina, United States
|
I am selling my 1967 NADA SIIA that I have been restoring over the last five years. This is a California vehicle and as such has virtually no corrosion or rust on the body or chassis. I will list all the parts that were replaced or upgrades below. This is # 246 out of 811 ever made. These 109s were a special attempt by Land Rover to break into the US market with its large Safari station wagon. They modified their 2.6L inline six engine to boost performance to compete with the US V8 market. After Land Rover dropped the NADA 109 from production they also stopped supporting the modified engine. As the parts dried up, many owners had to replace their original engines with whatever they could find. Some were converted to the low compression Land Rover inline six. Others with the 2.25L four cylinder. The other option at the time was to install a 235cc GM six cylinder that produced about 150hp. This is the same engine that Toyota used in the FJ40. My 109 has the GM 235cc inline six with a Weber two barrel carburetor on it. The conversion must have been done in the 70s, although I have no way to know. I had the engine rebuilt when I restored the rover and it runs like a sewing machine. I had the body painted in the original color using Dupont Imron paint. The front seats have been reupholstered and all the door panels are new. The back seat is original. The headliner came from Badger. All the brake system and clutch hydraulics are new including lines. I also have installed parabolic suspension springs and old man emu shocks. The only parts I did not go though were the axles and the transmission. I installed a new wiring harness from British wiring and installed a 60Amp fuse between the battery and the harness. This is probably one of the nicest NADA Rovers around and it needs a home.
List of new parts.

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.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
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.
