1972 Land Rover Series Iii Defender 109 Lwb Diesel Safari Roof Wagon on 2040-cars
Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
72 Rover LWB 5 door wagon-Diesel 4x4 Needs restoring.
This very rare truck was owned for the past 20 years by a famous novelist,James Deware from Oxford Md. It was his plan to have it fully restored and travel the USA back roads for appox 2 years looking for material for his next book. Health issues have gotten in his way and he sold me his Rover.
Very original, body interior rack seating options trim wheels etc etc. This is not some chopped up mud truck it looks as it was when it left the factory.
A Survivor in need of love and a knowledgeable new owner. The Perkins 4 Diesel engine is not its original motor and is apart. The top half is removed and along with MANY MANY used and brand new in the box all labeled properly parts ready to go back together.
Original interior gives me goosebumps. All intact as pictures show. We are not experts but it is believed that all parts are there for the next owner.
We have done our best to picture all parts.
Mr Deware tells me his truck was running fine 4x4 works well etc approximately 5 years ago his family member took the Perkins apart as well as other things like the dash panel to start the restoration. Life has turns and the truck was parked and unloved for approx 5 years now. It rolls around and can be transported easily we had it brought to St Augustine a few weeks ago from Oxford Md for $500.
Rust? yes some in floors, doors, here and there,undercarriage and frame also see pictures not real bad but rust is present. We are showing all areas of rust in pictures nothing being held back thats not the way we do things.
Look closely at all parts we do not have the room to list all. All boxed labeled properly except large obvious parts.
Any questions you may have we will be happy to answer honestly.
Check our reviews we have been in business since 1948 and everyday we try to exceed expectations. This is the only way we know how to do business. Appox 35,000 automobiles bought and sold since 1948.
Good luck on this exceptional buy. Some feel they may be very highly collectable in the future.
Realistic reserve price questions are fine however we do believe in not ending the auction early. This upsets bidders and our reputation means everything to us.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
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.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
