1980 Land Rover 110 Stage One Van on 2040-cars
West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, United States
|
Here is a rare (two year production) Land Rover Stage One long wheelbase van. This was the transition model between the Series III and the new Defender which was based on the Discovery platform. It has the early Range Rover V8 engine and four speed transmission with two speed transfer case. The rest of the running gear remained Series III, model 110. As these were never assembled for North American sale, they were right hand drive.
This vehicle was purchased by me from an agent who imported it from England. It had been resprayed for USPS mail delivery service however has never seen such use. I replaced road springs, bushings, shocks, brakes, wheel cylinders and some brake lines. A new clutch master cylinder was also fitted. The engine received new points, plugs, condenser, cap, rotor, filters and carburetor diaphragms. Oil pressure is strong. All fluids were replaced and a matched set of original style Michelin tires were fitted. The body and frame are in good condition although both could benefit from corrosion protection. The interior is presentable; there is a crack on the dash cover and the door seals need replacement. Overall the vehicle runs and drives very well and has completed a couple of 300+ mile trips without incident. I have been working on Land rovers for over 35 years and this one is the next to go. I have two others to finish. I can assist in shipping although all related fees are the buyers responsibility. The title will be transferred when I have all funds in hand. There is no warranty on this vehicle, either expressed or implied. I encourage inspection and questions. Serious bidders only please. |

Jaguar-Land Rover builds millionth vehicle at Halewood
Fri, 29 Nov 2013Jaguar-Land Rover is not what you'd call a volume automaker by any stretch of the imagination. But in the dozen years since it started manufacturing at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, England, the automaker has already built its millionth vehicle.
The landmark vehicle is a Range Rover Evoque, done up in white with red roof and mirrors, black wheels and a red and black interior. The crossover is set to be donated to Cancer Research UK, which will auction it off next year to help fund its projects in the north-west of the country.
Halewood started manufacturing the Jaguar X-Type in 2001, then went on to assemble the Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 before taking on production of the Evoque a year and a half ago. The facility reached the 300,000-unit milestone just last year as production moved to a 24-hour cycle for the first time in either marque's history.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota
Wed, 12 Dec 2012As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
