This is a very clean 1972 Land Rover with just over 57,000 miles on it. I have spent the last month getting any issues with the truck sorted before putting it up for sale. The following work was completed in the last 30 days:
- New battery
- New fuel pump
- New Weber Carburetor
- New rotor cap, wires and plugs
- Front bearings have been shimmed and repacked
- Entire truck has been detailed and paint buffed out and sealed (notice the reflection off the paint in the photos)
- All 5 wheels have been pulled, tires removed, powder coated, tires remounted, balanced
- Lug nuts painted
- Several engine components have been painted (oil filler tube, air cleaner housing, carburetor elbow, etc)
- All fluids have been changed (differentials, transfer case, transmission and engine)
This is a well sorted truck that is ready for a new home, and looks fantastic! I have owned a tan Series just before this one and the reaction from everyone to this color is amazing, and I have to say the "Sage" is my favorite Series color. This truck also has a headliner which is in excellent condition.
RUST - There is none, except for two quarter sized spots on the door top on the drivers side. A very easy fix, which is strictly cosmetic. You should see them in the photos of the truck. If not please let me know and I will be happy to forward them to you. The frame and firewall are completely rust free.
Body is completely straight except for bite marks in the bottoms of the front fenders. I know, I did say bite marks, apparently one of the former owners had a dog that did not like the Land Rover (probably jealousy) and attacked the Rover on a couple of occasions. This could easy be repaired, or will make a fantastic story "This Rover was attacked by cheetahs, or lions! Or cheetah's AND lions!" I will leave that up to you. Very minor denting.
My only reason for selling is I have another project I would like to take on.
The Land Rover is located here in San Diego and is easy to see.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships
Thu, 29 Nov 2012Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
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.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
