Pristine 1980 Land Rover Series II Model 109.
Body was in perfect shape, interior was just re-done and other than the original inline 4 motor that had no
overdrive, my wife and I bought it in Oregon and drove it 2500 miles south down Coast Highway to California.
Thinking I was going to keep it 100% stock as most Rover fanatics would like to see it, I decided to go full
retro-mod on it.
We kept the all aluminum frame and the pristine body in tack, everything else in the undercarriage and drive-train
had to go.
I wanted this to be a reliable vehicle that one could find parts for it anywhere in the country at your local auto
parts store.
We put in a trusty create GM Performance 5.3L V8 engine (not a junk yard re-build, a brand new motor), turbo 400
transmission hooked to an Atlas 2-speed transmission.
3 link custom long arm suspension in the front and 4 link custom long arm suspension in the rear all controlled by
Fox 2.0 Remote reservoir coil over shocks with adjustable bump stops.
Dana 44 axles were swapped in that have 4.10 gearing, electronic lockers, high performance axles and all gusseted
to ensure there are no bends or breaks out on the trails.
Sway bars front and rear keep this top heavy vehicle in check both on the road as well as off, and the stout
hydraulic steering assist from PSC turns the Falken Wildpeak A/T 35x12.50r17 tires
(wrapped on the AEV matte black wheels) with ease. JE Reel custom drive shafts, custom skid plates , custom engine
brace, custom oversized aluminum radiator, heavy duty AGM battery,
and a multitude of throughout the undercarriage finish out the engine and drive-train mods. The original gauges
indicate almost 50k on the vehicle, but all the modifications were done at 46,780.
So less than 4000 miles are on the wear and tear.
That "only 4k on the wear and tear" also includes the paint. A fresh "Triple Deep Black" paint from PPG was sprayed
just before all the mods to the vehicle took place.
Paint along with 90% of all the tubular accessories on the vehicle had a fresh coat of paint or powder coat put on
them.
Interior was modified to accept the automatic transmission with a Speedshift shifter as well as the Vintage Air Air
Conditioning unit.
Yes, there are little items like the dash that could be re-covered due to minor tears in it, but that along with
other mods to the new owner can be done easily at any interior shop.
This Rover was built right with no expense spared. From the vintage and top of the line Warn M8274 to the amazing
headlights from JW Speaker,
the list of added accessories and custom work on this vehicle doesn't stop. Not only does it look perfect, it
drives and more importantly works fantastic out on the trails where it was meant to be.
Shown on one of the images, it comes with a roof top tent (also in perfect shape). If your looking for a vehicle
that turns heads no matter where you drive it,
easily cruises over any obstacle you put in front of it, and uber reliable...this 1980 Land Rover Series II Model
109 is perfect. Plus, it is priced well below other "Defenders"
out there with half the whistles and bells that this beauty has.

Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit
Fri, Jan 29 2021BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models
Sun, Mar 8 2015Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.
