1983 Land Rover Series III
*Ebay does not recognize older VIN numbers from the UK. The truck is a 1983 NOT a 1980.* This 1983 Land Rover Series III was recently imported from England and is one of the last years for the Series vehicles before Land Rover introduced the Defender. It is in very good mechanical condition and a full factory recommended service and inspection has been carried out on the vehicle. The work performed includes but is not limited to:
Mechanically the truck is in turn-key condition and can be driven anywhere. There are a few small oil leaks that do not cause measurable fluid loss between service intervals. The truck also has a new interior which includes new seats, center console, carpet set and molded rubber floor mats. The dashboard has been rebuilt and the metal parts re-painted. The cowl vents were also refurbished including new rubber gaskets. The heater and ventilation controls have been refurbished as well and work properly. The new heater core produces plenty of heat for the truck which is rare for an older Land Rover. Structurally the truck is in very good condition with only minor surface rust on a few small spots on the chassis. Some frame corrosion was repaired professionally in the UK and the frame and underbody was coated with Waxoyl as a corrosion protectant, the coating is still in very good condition.
The body on the truck is in good condition with no rust or corrosion issues. The door bottoms, which are a common point of failure on the older Rovers are in good shape with no rust-through. The footwells have been repaired in the past and are solid and in good condition. The bulkhead (firewall) is in very good condition with no rust-through, which is also a common problem with older Land Rovers. All glass is original and in good condition with no chips or cracks. The rubber door seals have been replaced and are in good condition. The paint is in fair condition with some oxidation from the sun on the horizontal surfaces that could be buffed out. The paint job is an older re-paint and there are some small dime to nickel sized spots where the paint has flaked off to the original paint. The worst area is on the rear door. There are two areas I have identified where some amateur body work has been done that could stand to be re-done. One is n the front drivers side fender, the other is on the rear tub near a wheel well. The body has multiple small dents that are to be expected with a utility vehicle of this age.
The truck includes an original owners manual, lug wrench, and hand crank for the engine. The rear load space of the truck has been professionally lined with aluminum chequer plate for durability when carrying loads. There is a folding bench seat with seatbelt in the back of the truck. This vehicle has the enclosed roof and cap, but if the new owner would like it supplied with a canvas convertible top that can be arranged for additional cost. The vehicle is in stock condition and configuration but If any other accessories or modifications are desired by the buyer that can be arranged before the vehicle is delivered. The truck can be delivered anywhere and I can arrange shipping. Thank you for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this vehicle.

Jaguar-Land Rover rules out downsizing into new segments
Sun, Nov 17 2019Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) will continue expanding its portfolio of models during the 2020s, but the group confirmed it won't chase volume by branching out into smaller segments like its German rivals. The two brands will instead seek partnerships to generate economies of scale. "We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economies of scale," said Felix Brautigam, Jaguar-Land Rover's chief commercial officer, in an interview with Autocar. He added the second-generation Range Rover Evoque (pictured) released in 2018 is already a relatively small car. It stretches 172 inches from bumper to bumper and 75 inches from side to side, so it's approximately 4 inches longer and 5 inches wider than the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf. It's about 8 inches taller than the German hatchback, however. While that's small by luxury car standards, Mercedes-Benz and BMW respectively went smaller with their Smart and Mini brands. Audi doesn't have an entry-level sub-brand, but it doesn't need to because it's part of the gigantic Volkswagen Group. Japanese luxury firms like Lexus and Infiniti are also part of bigger companies. Brautigam's comments bury numerous rumors. They confirm Jaguar won't take on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the Audi A3, and the BMW 1 Series with a model positioned below the XE, which competes against the C-Class, the A4, and the 3 Series, respectively. They also douse cold water on the born-again Freelander (which ultimately morphed into the LR2 in America), which Land Rover was allegedly developing to slot directly below the aforementioned Evoque. Ironically, JLR might soon have access to platforms capable of underpinning smaller vehicles. Parent company Tata Motors is actively looking for an outside company to link arms with the British brands, according to a separate report. Officials reportedly approached BMW -- which used to own Land Rover, and announced a joint-venture with the group in 2019 -- and Geely, the Chinese giant whose portfolio of brands includes Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Proton, London Taxi Company, Terrafugia, and half of Smart, plus a sizeable, nearly-10% stake in Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler. Geely told Bloomberg it hasn't heard from Tata or JLR. BMW and Tata remained silent. While a partnership with someone looks likely considering the significant hurdles faced by JLR, its parent company has categorically ruled out selling the duo it purchased from Ford for $2.3 billion in 2008.
Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation
Thu, May 3 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.
