LAND ROVER THROUGH THE AGES

During 1979s, Land Rover was increasingly under attack from foreign competition, especially the Japanese. Overseas customers wanted more powerful engines and the company itself was desperate to expend production.
Following Government intervention, Land rover was finally able to satisfy both needs, the first step was the series III stage 1 V8. This superb vehicle giving the company a short breathing space before stage 2 delivered the One Ten and Ninety.

Maximum vehicle weight 5976lb, minimum unladen 3396lb. Another very distinctive change that came in with the Series III stage 1 V8 was the increased choice of colours. Who can forget Java Green, Inca yellow or Masai Red.? These eye catching paint jobs were as a result of repeated requests, particularly from South American and Caribbean customers, and they proved extremely popular. Transmission Four speed, permanent four wheel drive, lockable centre differential. Brakes Vacuum servo assisted, drums all round (11inx3in front)
