1980 Land Rover 110 Stage One Van on 2040-cars
West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, United States
|
Here is a rare (two year production) Land Rover Stage One long wheelbase van. This was the transition model between the Series III and the new Defender which was based on the Discovery platform. It has the early Range Rover V8 engine and four speed transmission with two speed transfer case. The rest of the running gear remained Series III, model 110. As these were never assembled for North American sale, they were right hand drive.
This vehicle was purchased by me from an agent who imported it from England. It had been resprayed for USPS mail delivery service however has never seen such use. I replaced road springs, bushings, shocks, brakes, wheel cylinders and some brake lines. A new clutch master cylinder was also fitted. The engine received new points, plugs, condenser, cap, rotor, filters and carburetor diaphragms. Oil pressure is strong. All fluids were replaced and a matched set of original style Michelin tires were fitted. The body and frame are in good condition although both could benefit from corrosion protection. The interior is presentable; there is a crack on the dash cover and the door seals need replacement. Overall the vehicle runs and drives very well and has completed a couple of 300+ mile trips without incident. I have been working on Land rovers for over 35 years and this one is the next to go. I have two others to finish. I can assist in shipping although all related fees are the buyers responsibility. The title will be transferred when I have all funds in hand. There is no warranty on this vehicle, either expressed or implied. I encourage inspection and questions. Serious bidders only please. |

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 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 Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
