Legendary Land Rover Defender 109-Series III 3 door wagon with Safari Roof offered for sale. This 1978 Left Hand Drive was originally owned by the Embassy of Switzerland and was used as a people mover rather than a Defender work horse.  It has only 56K KM or 36K miles.  This eye catching 109 is 100% US legal and has passed all of the regulatory import EPA, DOT & DMV guidelines and is currently titled & registered in Connecticut. It is in all original configuration and is in exceptional condition.  It is privately owned and used around the countryside on weekends in Connecticut.  It drives nicely and looks great.  It has its original 2.25 liter gasoline motor and has its 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive. It shifts smoothly and properly and all of the axles, and propshafts are all tight and in good order.

 Its custom interior was fitted some years ago but its eye catching interior is in excellent condition and makes it a conversation topic where ever you drive it.  Its light weight aluminum roof does detach so you can convert it into an instant beach cruiser.  The aluminum body, doors and panels all fit properly and there is no appearance of rot or rust.  It's pretty much all original aside from its interior updates.  It is mechanically sound, reliable and strong inside and out.  It has been extensively reviewed and inspected for its current owner.  It has been refreshed as needed with all fluids etc. to ensure driver reliability. It can accommodate transport of 10-11 people with smiles and excitement.  

This is a great investment which will only rise in value.  Rarely do such classic Land Rovers of this quality, condition and history ever come to market.  Don't miss this opportunity to purchase such a pedigree.  Buy with confidence.  You won't be disappointed.  For additional information, call John at 727-215-0109 or email jgy702@yahoo.com.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
