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. |

Why Land Rover's reluctant to show concepts: Chinese clones
Thu, Oct 19 2017While the Chinese auto industry continues to grow and expand with new and original products, a number of automakers still refuse to play by the rules. Rather than coming up with original designs, these automakers shamelessly copy designs from other automakers, slapping their badge on the front as if it were an original product. According to Auto Express, Land Rover has grown tired of dealing with these frauds to the point that it's essentially stopped showing concept cars in order to stave off these clones. One of the most notable and brazen examples of these Chinese copycats is the LandWind X7. While that car looks like an obvious ripoff of the Range Rover Evoque, complaints by Jaguar Land Rover were dismissed, and the X7 hit the market for about a third of the price of the Evoque. Further efforts by JLR have done nothing to halt or change the car's production. It seems Chinese authorities are more interested in protecting the home team than upholding copyright laws. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern said the automaker was "wary of showing new concepts" because they just give these competitors time to work up a copy. Land Rover's latest model, the Velar, debuted in Geneva in production form. Skipping concepts may not stop competitors from making copies, but it does give Land Rover a huge head start when it comes to production.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
2024 Lexus GX and Land Rover Defender numbers crunched
Fri, Jun 9 2023The 2024 Lexus GX finally brings the luxury off-roader up-to-date. And it does so in a boxy, rugged wrapper that makes comparisons to the 2024 Land Rover Defender, another luxury off-roader of similar size and capability. So we figured, let's make that comparison. We've looked at all the specifications available for the two SUVs to see how they stack up. Engines and Transmissions The GX keeps things simple under the hood with a single powertrain. It has a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 hybrid making 340 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. That horsepower number only tops the Defender's four-cylinder engine, but the GX has the torque advantage even against the Defender's mighty V8 option. The GX's V6 is paired with a 10-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. Full fuel economy numbers haven't been given, but Toyota is expecting 17 mpg combined. Unfortunately, that fuel economy is worse than all the Defender powertrains except the V8. As alluded to, the Defender is available with three main engines, an inline-four, inline-six and V8. The closest competitors to the GX will be the regular 110 four-door and the longer 130 four-door. The 110 can be had with the turbo 2.0L four-cylinder making 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque; the turbo mild-hybrid 3.0L six-cylinder making 395 horsepower and 405 pound-feet; or the supercharged 5.0L V8 making 518 horsepower and 461 pound-feet. The 130 gets two versions of the six-cylinder, one making 296 horsepower and 347 pound-feet and one making 395 horsepower and 405 pound-feet. The V8 is also available but just with 493 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. All of the engines get an eight-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive. The four-cylinder 110 gets 18 mpg combined, the six gets 20 and the V8 manages just 16. Both 130 six-cylinder powertrains return 19 mpg combined, and the V8 doesn't have numbers yet. Towing and Cargo Towing capacity is pretty straightforward. The Lexus has a maximum capacity of 8,000 pounds, and the Land Rover tops it by 200 pounds more. Some trim levels of both SUVs have lower towing capacity, depending on the configuration. As for cargo space, Lexus hasn't shared details. It is available with up to three rows of seating and room for seven passengers. The 110 has similar seating available, and the 130 ups the ante with a three-across third row. And we've found that the 130's third row is genuinely usable by adults.
