Year:1973
Mileage:49000
Location:
Gilbert, Arizona, United States
|
It’s my pleasure to
introduce Her Royal Majesty Olive. She’s a 41 year old Queen. This 1973 11
passenger, yes you can cram 11 people inside, used Land Rover Series III. She’s
in great shape, minor surface rust, but was just driven from California to
Arizona in 108 degree heat and didn’t have any problems. This LR is perfect for
a daily driver, perfect for restoration, camping or surf vehicle. It would also be the
ultimate Zombie Assault Vehicle (ZAV) normal wear and tear for a 41 year old
vehicle. As you can see she’s right hand drive, has the ladder in the back with
the massive roof rack. All lights work and mechanically runs fine, HRM Olive
has driven from Florida to California to Arizona without any problems. Right hand drive, why would you even consider left hand on a British vehicle! A massive galvanized steel safari roof rack with access ladder! Olive has A/C that's mounted in the rear this cost $2,741.96 I have numerous receipts. Has Fairey overdrive. Spare tire on hood and rear door, I also have 2 spare inter tubes for the tires. She has a center console, and storage under the front passenger seat. Engine Bulkhead is in good condition with no penetrating rust as is the chassis and floorboards under the protective rubber. She's slow but fun to drive, only a little 4 cylinder engine. Crawls like a mountain goat when in 4 wheel drive. Needs new weather stripping all around if you choose to replace them. Car was repainted and shows its age, but why would you even consider waxing this unless you wanted a bolt off restoration... Interior is good with no rips in the upholstery, headliner is
original. Dash has one small crack, no biggie. Right hand door has ding in it and previous owner used bondo,
size is about a quarter. All glass is good Very minimal surface rust on frame and doors, no rust has
penetrated the frame, door, or body. Mileage I'm not certain since this vehicle is 41 years old. Olive is driven on a
regular basis. Olive is currently located in the Phoenix metro area. Olive is definitely an eye catcher, people will look at you and
you do get a lot of thumbs up!!!!
Detailed Specifications from Wikipedia: The Series III had the same body
and engine options as the preceding IIa, including station wagons and the 1 Ton
versions. Little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III.
The Series III is the most common Series vehicle, with 440,000 of the type
built from 1971 to 1985. The headlights
were moved to the wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward
(ostensibly to comply with Australian, American and Dutch lighting regulations)
and remained in this position for the Series III. The traditional metal grille,
featured on the Series I, II and IIA, was replaced with a plastic one for the
Series III model. The 2.25-litre engine had its compression raised from 7:1 to
8:1, increasing the power slightly (the high compression engine had been an
optional fit on the IIa model for several years). During the Series III
production run from 1971 until 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the
production line in 1976. The Series III saw many changes in the later part of
its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet increased competition. This
was the first model to feature synchromesh on all four
gears, although some late H-suffix SIIA models (mainly the more expensive
Station Wagons) had used the all-synchro box. In keeping with early 1970s
trends in automotive interior design, both in safety and use of more advanced
materials, the simple metal dashboard of earlier models was redesigned to
accept a new moulded plastic dash. The instrument cluster, which was previously
centrally located, was moved to the driver's side. Long-wheelbase Series III
vehicles had the Salisbury rear axle (the differential housing and axle case
are one piece)[clarification needed] as standard, although some late SIIA 109-inch (2,800 mm)
vehicles had them too. In 1980, the four-cylinder
2.25-litre engines (both petrol and diesel) were updated with five-bearing
crankshafts to increase strength in heavy duty work. At the same time the transmission,
axles and wheel hubs were
re-designed for increased strength. This was the culmination of a series of
updates to the transmission that had been made since the 1960s to combat the
all-too-common problem of the rear axle half-shafts breaking in heavy usage.
This problem was partly due to the design of the shafts themselves. Due to the
fully floating design of the rear wheel hubs, the half shafts can be removed
very quickly without even having to jack the vehicle off the ground. The
tendency for commercial operators to overload their vehicles exacerbated this
flaw which blighted the Series Land Rovers in many of their export markets and
established a reputation that continues in many markets to the present day.
This is despite the 1982 re-design (mainly the increase of driving-splines from 10 to
24 to reduce stress) that all but solved the problem. Also, new trim options were
introduced to make the interior more comfortable if the buyer so wished (many
farmers and commercial users preferred the original, non-trimmed interior). These changes culminated in April
1982 with the introduction of the "County" spec. Station Wagon Land
Rovers, available in both 88-inch (2,200 mm) and 109-inch (2,800 mm)
types. These had all-new cloth seats from the Leyland T-45 Lorry,
soundproofing kits, tinted glass and other "soft" options designed to
appeal to the leisure owner/user. Of more interest was the
introduction of the High Capacity Pick Up to the 109-inch (2,800 mm)
chassis. This was a pick-up truck load bay that offered 25% more cubic capacity
than the standard pick-up style. The HCPU came with heavy-duty suspension and
was popular with public utility companies and building contractors.
1 Ton 109 inch The 1 Ton 109 inch was
produced from 1968 to 1977, covering late IIA and series III Models. It was
basically a Series IIB Forward Control built with a standard 109 in body,
featuring 2.6-litre petrol engine, lower ratio gearbox, ENV front and rear
axles, (Salisbury front and rear on later Series IIIs) though some late IIAs
were fitted with ENV axles in front and Salisbury on the rear. Later series
IIIs had a Rover type front axle with uprated differential. The chassis frame was
unique to the model and featured drop-shackle suspension similar to the
military series Land Rovers. 900x16 tyres were a standard feature and these
machines were commonly used by utility companies and breakdown/recovery firms.
Only 170 IIA and 238 Series IIIs (1 Ton) were built for the home market. Export
markets had even fewer examples, making this one of the rarest types of
Land-Rover ever built.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
Pivi Pro Jaguar Land Rover Infotainment Review | A massive improvement
Fri, Aug 6 2021Infotainment systems in Jaguar Land Rover products have irked us for a long while. They’re generally a good step — or several — behind other luxury automakers' infotainment systems in terms of features and looks. But the big problem has always been their functionality. Even right out of the gate, they exhibited an undue amount of lag and general bugginess. Pivi Pro is supposed to change all of that. ItÂ’s JLRÂ’s completely new-from-the-ground-up infotainment system that is quickly spreading across the companyÂ’s range of products. It features a new screen size and layout. Plus, the software itÂ’s running is vastly different from what we saw previously. Our Byron Hurd got a first taste of it with a number of JLR products in a short period of time and found it to be a big improvement. Now, weÂ’ve had a new Land Rover Discovery in the garage for a longer period to fully suss out the system. Will it hold up? Watch the video above for a quick tour, and keep reading for some more detailed thoughts. Before diving in too deep, you should know off the top that Pivi Pro is a massive improvement over JLR infotainment systems of old. There are still some issues, but the new systemÂ’s performance is exponentially better than what itÂ’s replacing. This is partly thanks to it now running off its own backup battery. This allows the whole system to load immediately upon startup, ensuring that you arenÂ’t sitting and waiting for items to populate after you press the start button. The new 11.4-inch screen this software plays on is splendid to both look at and touch. ItÂ’s a super-high-resolution panel, and it takes to our inputs quickly and without protest. The new UI layout makes things easier and prettier, too. All of your important items are tucked into a panel on the left, making them super easy to find and select. Plus, a sticky “home” button means you can always find your way out of menus when youÂ’re done diving around. We dig the three-panel home screen and its minimalist style, but for those who might favor maximum functionality over a pretty home screen, you can replace this with rows of app icons. For those wanting to use their phones, there is indeed an in-car WiFi data plan available to buy. Plus, JLR newly allows you to connect two devices via Bluetooth instead of just one. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are nicely integrated with this new system.
2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper
Mon, May 7 2018During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.
