1974 Landrover Series 3 Genuine Safarir Station Wagon 

Ebay Does Not Recognise The UK VIN - The VIN is 90201870A

The Landrover was first registered 1974 so well past the 25 year threshold for entry into the States. 

Shipping

I regularly send Landrovers to the States and know the Import Procedure inside out. I can arrange all shipping if needs be. Shipping to the East Coast (New York, Brunswick, Charleston etc) is $2500 and for the West  Coast (Port Hueneme etc) it is $3000. This includes delivery from me to the UK port of Southampton, UK Customs clearance and ship lading and transport to the USA. I will send the winning bidder the UK title
 and you just collect from the US port that you have chosen. 


Vehicle

The Landrover was first registered in the UK in 1974 and is a very rare genuine Station Wagon with the Safari roof. These are very hard to find in original condition like this one is. The motor is a 2286cc gasoline engine. The transmission is 4 speed manual and this one has the expensive Fairey Overdrive system installed. 

The exterior is finished in Landrover Limestone and is the original colour that the car would have been painted. It is nice and solid and is an honest, original Landrover. It has not been restored previously and will be a sound buy for someone looking for a good useable Landrover. There are a few signs of age as it is 40 years old but nothing major at all. The doors are solid as are all the panels really. The frame is in decent shape also.  The interior is all original and has 3 seats in the front as well as bench seats in the rear so it can carry another 4 people in the back. 

The truck has been looked over by my local Landrover shop and they have given it a good bill of health. The engine has been serviced and a new fuel pump has been fitted. The motor runs well and there are no issues at all. All gears shift fine and the transmission is very good indeed. Suspension, steering, brakes etc all works as they ought

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."

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.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar 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.
