Exceedingly rare 1982 Range Rover Classic four door Right Hand Drive South African Spec. ** VIN is SALLHAMV1AA129923 - eBay's computer would not take it our paperwork shows it as a 1982 which means it was built 1980/1 and sent to South Africa as a CKD (Completely Knocked Down Kit) to the Pretoria plant. Has the original vertical slot grill c/w the individual headlight surrounds and clear indicator markers Original lower tailgate with exposed release handle and still has its drop down license plate holder Exposed hinges all round - Exposed fuel filler area - years before they put a flap over it Steel bumpers with rubber end caps - Not the wrap round type Wind up windows with opening Quarter lights and manual seats Early dash gauge small cluster binnacle Early dashboard with four round gauges 5 speed manual transmission (rare for year most were 4 speed plus a bolt on overdrive) Vacuum operated LT230 transfer case Rear tailgate is actually repairable as its the early type without the 3rd brake light Has factory installed AC system Front seats will need recovering - rear bench is missing (One from a 2 door is identical) Lot of the original carpet and over mat is there & saveable as well as plastic trim. Engine does turn over it is the original 3.5V8 with SU Carborettors - would probably run knowing this thing Comes with a professionally sandblasted and hot dipped Discovery 1 galvanized chassis - which incorporates sway bar mounts a better holding area for a plastic fuel tank (included) also a Class III hitch receiver. Comes with a full set of original Black 3 spoke alloy rims (rare imported from UK) We have a huge amount of photos of this truck. Truck appears original the paints roached - we removed the front fenders to inspect the inner shell - astounded that the rockers and posts are all fantastic - this is from the day when Range Rovers were bolted together - (we have on a 2 door been able to unbolt & galvanize the inner shell - will advise) - This would make a great restoration project the inner fenders are actually all sound the only rot is a simple triangle area to each of the upper kick panels in the foot wells the rear floor is perfect and the original ribbed aluminum sheet covering the main area is intact. There are barely any of these left in the world - let alone something this side of the pond and in its current state is USA eligible - done properly this vehicle would appraise in the 30k plus area especially if restored to a period color such as Lincoln Green - bearing in mind that Land Rover launched the Range Rover in 1970 for years people spent vast amounts having them converted by Monteverdi to 4 doors - this is one of the first export in house models - You will not find another anywhere For those that know there classic land rovers these are becoming highly sought after as are US importable and a viable and more practical alternative to a Defender in this early configuration it is the quintessential landed gentry's automobile - there is absolutely zero electrical complexity to this model has a total of 4 fuses - suffice to say it is UNloaded basic as it should have stayed. To clarify this vehicle is not running and requires a full restoration it will take in the region of 15k to restore and paint and reupholster if you undertook it at home - everything major is there - everything else is available from ourselves or the web - It may look daunting to most but it is one big bolt together kit - with having a new chassis to transfer restored parts onto (Even though the old chassis appears sound) however by retaining the old chassis verifies its authenticity as the vin is also stamped on its left front rail. - we would consider retaining the galvanized chassis should the purchaser wish to undertake an original proper refurbishment. |

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.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It'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.
Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre
Mon, Feb 9 2015James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.
