Land Rover Used Parts & Spares From Trusted Car Breakers Yards
This engine has continued in use on some export markets using units built at a Ford plant in Brazil, where Land Rovers were built under license. This engine was also used in Ford pick-up trucks built locally. Production of the TDi engine ended in the UK in 2006. During its ownership by Ford, Land Rover was once again linked with Jaguar, where these two companies had been under the same umbrella in the British Leyland era. In many countries they shared a sales and distribution network, and some models shared components and production facilities also. By 1989, the large gap between Range Rover and Defender (now the new name of the original Land Rover) had been filled with the Discovery, which was less luxurious but more affordable than Range Rover. As a brand Rover, Land Rover became a separate division when it went under the management of BMW during 1994-2000. It was then sold to Ford. In 2008, Ford was hit by financial trouble and sold both companies to Tata group.
The annual Land Rover Expo was held on Sunday 25th September in Castlehill, Sydney. The weather forecast predicted rain, just like a UK Land Rover Show, however the tropical rain did not deter the few Land Rover owners that Australia has. Land Rovers are scarce in Australia - esp. Series vehicle so I was keen to see what the show had to offer. The few Land Rover Series vehicles that braved the weather where in showroom condition. A credit to the owners for looking after the vehicles in such detail. One of the Series II Land Rovers on display was an ex army Ambulance. I liked the Safari roof that was fitted to the vehicle. There were a few expedition prepared vehicles and a few trade stands offering expedition kit. A company called Mulgo had a few Land Rover 130's for viewing. The tilting roof added that extra comfort for those long overland journeys. Camper mounted on a Disco II. In summary, it was a real pity that the tropical rain caused such havoc as the event hosts had prepared a good days outing. The goody bag has some useful reading material and the trade show owners kept their enthusiasm.

Good examples of pre-1965 Bentley or Rolls Royce are markedly more expensive than cars of the 70s and 80s. Why is that, you ask? Older cars have aged to the point where the good examples are almost all restored, and restoration of these cars is costly. The price of good examples reflects that substantial additional investment. It鈥檚 still possible to buy mostly original cars from the 80s and 90s, which makes these cars much more affordable. In my opinion, there are two modern Rolls Royce cars with good investment potential. The pre-1974 Shadow cars are desirable because of their clean and pretty lines, and their timeless style. The 74-80 Shadows are a close second. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to most of these vehicles. They are often run down beyond practical repair, and it鈥檚 very hard to find well-kept examples. The Silver Spur replaced the Silver Shadow in 1981. In Bentley this car came to America as the Mulsanne.
