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.

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.
Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
