1983 Land Rover Range Rover- Rare and unique pre-US import from Mexico-NO RUST! No troublesome ABS, power seats, power windows or sunroof that plague US models . This Rover was imported to California from Mexico in 1988. The 3.5 L engine was rebuit in 1998 and the dual carburators were replaced with a single edelbrock 4-barrel carb. The Rover has seen little to no use during the past 14 years. The drivers seat is torn at some of the stiching points but shows minimal wear as does the rest of the interior. Odometer reads 23642. It needs a new battery and carb build to run. It has a clean carfax. Wears its original paint with age and minor imperfections as thinning paint and dings. With little work it would be roadworthy. I purchased it several years ago due to its rarity and hate to let it go, but I have recently moved and do not have facilities to properly store or maintain it. If you reside in an area where emissions are required, registration may be an issue. It does have a clear Alabama title. The actual Vin is not accepted by ebay's format Vin #SALLHAMV4AA138876. No reserve. Bid to win.

Some details specfic to 1983 Range Rover

In equipping the Range Rover with automatic transmission, Land Rover engineers have retained the basic system of feeding power through the main (automatic) gearbox to a two-speed transfer gearbox incorporating a lockable differential. Power is then fed direct to the front and rear axels. The automatic Range Rover therefore retains the important feature of permanent four wheel drive, which contributes greatly to the vehicle's outstanding off-road performance and on-road security.

Tests revealed that the most suitable automatic transmission for the Range Rover was based on the Chrysler A727 unit. Gearboxes are bought in by Land Rover Ltd and a number of modifications carried out. These include sealing the gearbox against water ingress, providing alternative venting, and installing a special plate to mate the main gearbox with the engine.

A completely new design of transfer gearbox - the LT230R - has been developed by Land Rover engineers and is used for the first time in the automatic Range Rover. The heavy duty, two-speed box combines strength with lightness and provides permanent four wheel drive with selectable differential lock. The high and low ratio options are retained, as is the lockable centre differential, while a considerable reduction in noise levels is achived. Improved driveability and refinement also result from the new transfer box.

To meet the higher gearbox oil temperatures encountered in automatic transmission vehicles, a high capacity front-mounted gearbox oil cooler is fitted. As a further back-up, an oil temperature warning light is fitted in the instrument binnacle.

Other mechanicals, including the 3528cc V8 high compression engine and ancillaries, suspension and brakes, remain unchanged, maintaining the Range Rover's unique combination of unsurpassed off-road ability and refined on-road performance.

In developing the automatic option, fuel economy was a major consideration for Land Rover engineers. The high compression version of the V8 engine gave improvements in fuel econmy of up to 20% when announced in 1981. Extensive testing has ensured that the Chrysler gearbox matches as closely as possible the power characteristics of the V8 unit.

A conventional six position gear selector is mounted on the transmission tunnel, with the gears laid out in the usual manner (P:R:N:D:2:1). An unusual feature is that the gearchange from 1 to 2 is positively inhibited to eliminate the possibility of accidental selection during off-road driving. The transfer box control retains the High-Neutral-Low layout, but in the Range Rover automatic the same control is also used to engage the differential lock. This is achived by pushing the lever to the left in either high or low ratio.

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
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

With 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.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
