Good Day All! I'm a newbie to the Land Rover bug and have a ton of questions, of course. I bought my LR2 in Oct 2008, just purchased an '04 Disco II SE, and already have my eyes set on either a Series III or a IIa 88" for my future purchase. Questionette #1 : I've been drooling over all the pics of the Series vehicles on the internet and keep seeing this Safari (double skin) roof. What's it for and does it actually work? Questionette #2 : Not a gearhead by any means, yet not afraid to work with wrenches, I'm keeping my sights towards the Series III (1984) simply because of the coils. Is it expensive to have leaf springs converted to a coil or is money better spent just looking for a good condition coil spring? My thoughts are that if a good condition IIa comes along with leaf springs the cost to convert to coils is better than finding a Series III that doesn't match the condition of the IIa. Thanks All.

i don't have a safari top, mine's canvas, but everyone who has 'em will tell you they do keep you cooler, as long as you're moving. parbolic or oem springs are easy to find and install (the install part is a lie, the old springs will be a bear to ge off) coils are for goils. real men (excuse he sexist sarcasim) ride springs

You'll find this board to be a wealth of expertise and people who share the Rover passion. I'm in a similar boat as you - having sold a Disco a few years ago, I'm looking for a Series IIa or III to get back into the fold. As such, I've been checking out the different roof options and am interested in replies regarding the safari top as well. My plan had been to swap a hard top for canvas in the summer... although when it comes to logistics I dont have a place to store a hard top when not in use. A safari top might be a nice mix between the two. Keep us posted on your search!

The safari top is an extra thin aluminium sun sheet over the basic roof and a set of 4 vents to let air in when you are moving. They work up to a point but you are still going to be sweating in the desert. The sun sheets are not very robust so you can't climb on the roof and you have to be careful with roof racks etc. I'm currently beating out about 100 dents on the one on my project 109. They are desireable for most environemnts though. A SIII is still leaf sprung. The boingers only came in with the 90/110. If you must have coils then buy a 90. A series can be made to ride nicely with parabolic leafs but it ain't no SUV. I'd advise a bit more research before parting with money on one of these trucks as, I'm sure Nick will testify to this, there is a lot to learn and an educated buyer is a happy owner.

Converting a series truck to coils is probably not a practical solution. You need to make a decesion if you want a series truck or if you would be better suited to a defender(coil trucks) Where in NY are you located?

Amen! there's a lot of trucks out there for a lot of money and if thats not a concern then you can find something asap...but if you want to make an informed decision, then it takes some time, a lot of patience and some reading. I've been reading (and loving) the Restoration Manual which has a great section on finding and buying old rovers - what to look for, etc. Here are a few of the threads that have helped me from this board: Shamless plug for two of my own http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6566 http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6393 Tread on someone looking at a IIa http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6342 and everyone loves the rover p0rn here http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/sh...?t=4702&page=2 For shopping: http://www.roversnorth.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28 http://www.landroverexchange.com/ Craigslist is also a nice resource - google craigs list search engines - there are tools out there to search multiple locations at once. I nerded-out and wrote my own code to scour the net for series trucks, its been worthwhile as most are not in my home state. Good luck - the hunt is 1/2 the fun (and 1/2 the frustration too )

I previously owned a '67 109 station wagon with the safari top - real cool and could carry a few people nicely. I now own a '68 109 regular (pick-up) with a pick-up top, a full hard top (not safari) and a full canvas top. I believe I now have the best situation as I basically have many vehicles in one awesome ride. I run the pick-up top in the winter and switch over to canvas once it warms up. I really like the 109 size as it offers a little more leg room, and can carry a lot more stuff. Now fitted with parabolic leafs, it rides like, well, a series land rover with parabolics.... it is what it is, but it's sure fun! As mentioned, you should do a lot more research before you buy - try to find one of us locally who can get you in a truck so you can get the feel of it. There isn't much like riding in a Series Land Rover.

What's it for and does it actually work? others have answered the function so I'll throw in my 2cents on if it works. nice part on a 109 is that 2 vents are above the rear seat so air hits that area directly and in my case, the 2, 4-paw drive Rovers sitting back there like it. the other 2 vents are in the rear seating area so that keeps that area "air circulated" or AC. it is a nice feature when the temp is "nice" for you - it also can be like a convection oven when it is too hot! Jaime

One Life Live It

I have a 109 safari top riding on parabolics (new style leaf springs) and it is quite comfortable to drive. I've looked at converting to coils and is not worth it in my opinion. The advantage to coils is better articulation of the axles so in hard core off-road excursions the coils are better at keeping all 4 in contact with the ground. It all depends on where you plan to drive. The extra skin on the top does keep it cooler and adds extra protection agains leaks but does somehow manage to get a lot of abuse (saves the real roof from abuse). If you plan to add a full rack then maybe it's not as much of an issue but the vents are nice.

This is the New Land Rover Defender. An icon reimagined for the 21st century, it is clever, capable and safe for all the family, and in a category of its own. 

New Defender is built for adventurous hearts and curious minds, for those who know the value of community and strive to make a difference.

The unmistakable silhouette is familiar yet new. It looks tough and is tough but designed with purpose and engineered to excite. Iconic in name, shape and capability, Defender can be personalised to allow owners to make the most of their world.

Across seven decades of pioneering innovation, Land Rovers have earned a unique place in the hearts of explorers, humanitarian agencies and adventurous families across the world. Proven in the harshest environments on earth, the New Defender maintains this bloodline.

Beside the peerless luxury and refinement of the Range Rover family and the highly capable and versatile Discovery SUVs, New Defender completes the Land Rover dynasty. The 110 is just the start for  this family of the most capable and durable 4x4s in the world. It will be swiftly followed by a compact, short wheelbase 90, before a pair of practical commercial models join the line-up in 2020.

THE DEFENDER FAMILY

Driven by a passion and respect for the original, New Defender delivers transformational breadth of capability. Advanced all-terrain technologies redefine adventure for the 21st century, remaining true to the pioneering spirit that has been a Land Rover hallmark for 71 years.

PRODUCT VNR (LONG EDIT) THE NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER

Emotionally charged design.

A distinctive silhouette makes the New Defender instantly recognisable, with minimal front and rear overhangs providing excellent approach and departure angles. Land Rover’s designers re-envisioned familiar Defender trademarks for the 21st century, giving the new 4x4 a purposeful upright stance and Alpine light windows in the roof, while retaining the side-hinged rear tailgate and externally-mounted spare wheel that make the original so identifiable.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL: THE NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER

The New Defender is respectful of its past but is not harnessed by it. This is a new Defender for a New Age. Its unique personality is accentuated by its distinctive silhouette and optimum proportions, which make it both highly desirable and seriously capable – a visually compelling 4x4 that wears its design and engineering integrity with uncompromised commitment.

Gerry McGovern

Chief design officer, land rover.

The stripped-back personality of the original Defender has been embraced inside, where structural elements and fixings usually hidden from view have been exposed, with the emphasis on simplicity and practicality. Innovative features include a dash-mounted gear shifter to accommodate an optional centre front ‘jump’ seat, which provides three-abreast seating across the front like early Land Rovers.

PURPOSEFUL INTERIOR: THE NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER

As a result, the Defender 110 offers five, six or 5+2 seating configurations, with a loadspace behind the second-row seats of up to 1,075-litres, and as much as 2,380-litres when the second row is folded. The Defender 90 will be able to accommodate six occupants in a vehicle the length of a compact family hatchback

User-friendly features include practical touches and advanced technological innovations. Durable rubberised flooring shrugs off the spills of daily adventures and once-in-a-lifetime expeditions, providing a brush or wipe clean interior. An optional full-length Folding Fabric Roof provides an open-top feel. It also allows passengers in the second-row seats of the Defender 110 to stand up when parked to provide the full safari experience**.

THE NEW DEFENDER - REINVENTING A DESIGN ICON

The definition of durability

TESTED TO EXTREMES: THE NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER

Land Rover’s new purpose-engineered D7x (for extreme) architecture is based on a lightweight aluminium monocoque construction to create the stiffest body structure Land Rover has ever produced. It is three times stiffer than traditional body-on-frame designs, providing perfect foundations for the fully independent air or coil sprung suspension and supports the latest electrified powertrains.

The New Defender has been through more than 62,000 tests for engineering sign-off, while the chassis and body architecture have been engineered to withstand Land Rover’s Extreme Event Test procedure – repeated and sustained impacts, above and beyond the normal standard for SUV and passenger cars.

During development testing, prototype models have covered millions of kilometres across some of the harshest environments on earth, ranging from the 50-degree heat of the desert and sub 40-degree cold of the Arctic to altitudes of 10,000ft in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

A world-class expert off and on-road

A transformational breadth of capability sets New Defender apart. Permanent all-wheel drive and a twin-speed automatic gearbox, centre differential and optional Active Locking Rear Differential ensure it has all the hardware required to excel in the soft sand of the desert, the freezing tundra of the arctic and everywhere in between.

Configurable Terrain Response debuts on New Defender, allowing experienced off-roaders to fine-tune individual vehicle settings to perfectly suit the conditions, while inexperienced drivers can let the system detect the most appropriate vehicle settings for the terrain, using the intelligent Auto function.

The new body architecture provides ground clearance of 291mm and world-class off-road geometry, giving the 110 approach, breakover and departure angles of 38, 28 and 40 degrees (Off-Road height) respectively. Its maximum wading depth of 900mm is supported by a new Wade programme in the Terrain Response 2 system, which ensures drivers can ford deep water with complete confidence.

On dry land, Land Rover’s advanced ClearSight Ground View technology helps drivers take full advantage of Defender’s all-conquering capability by showing the area usually hidden by the bonnet, directly ahead of the front wheels, on the central touchscreen.

OFF-ROAD CAPABILITY: THE NEW LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90

As a result, the New Defender redefines breadth of capability, raising the threshold for both off-road ruggedness and on-road comfort. It can negotiate crowded city streets as effortlessly as climbing mountains, crossing deserts and withstanding freezing temperatures. Its carefully honed handling delivers both a rewarding drive and first-class long-haul comfort across all terrains.

THE NEW DEFENDER - REDEFINING BREADTH OF CAPABILITY

Power and efficiency ª

MHEV – THE NEW DEFENDER

A choice of advanced petrol and cleaner diesel engines ensure New Defender has the power, control and efficiency for any environment, while a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrain will join the range next year providing the prospect of silent EV-only progress.

At launch, the petrol line-up comprises a four-cylinder P300 and a powerful six-cylinder P400, featuring efficient Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology. Alternatively, customers can choose from a pair of four-cylinder diesels – the D200 and powerful D240 – both of which deliver fuel economy of 37.2mpg (7.6 l/100km) and CO2 emissions of 199g/km (NEDC equivalent).

Innovative engineering solutions support the efficiency drive, including a flat underbody which both optimises aerodynamic performance (as low as 0.38Cd) and protecting the vehicle’s underbody.

21st century technology

New Defender is as technologically advanced as it is durable. It introduces Land Rover’s new Pivi Pro infotainment system. The next-generation touchscreen is intuitive and user-friendly, requiring few inputs to perform frequently used tasks, while its always-on design guarantees almost instant responses.

In addition, the New Defender takes Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) technology to a new level, with 14 individual modules capable of receiving remote updates. By downloading data while customers are asleep at home or in far-flung locations, the New Defender will get better with age: as electronic updates cascade down to the vehicle immediately, without delay and with no need to visit a Land Rover retailer.(b)

We've embraced Defender's stunning capability and minimalistic, functional interior to reinvent the icon for the 21st century. New Defender gives us the licence to do things differently, to push the boundaries and do the unthinkable, without ever losing the character and authenticity of the original. From the start we had an absolute obsession with functionality beneath the skin, from choosing the right materials through to state of the art connectivity. The result is not only the most capable Land Rover ever made, but also a truly comfortable, modern vehicle that people will love to drive.

Nick Rogers

Executive director, product engineering, jaguar land rover.

Felix Bräutigam

THE NEW DEFENDER - THE MOST ACCESSORISED AND PERSONALISED LAND ROVER

Above and Beyond Collection

The potential to accessorise Defender extends beyond the vehicle itself, as customers can also shop from the new Above and Beyond Collection – a 24-piece capsule collection designed and developed in collaboration with Musto®.

1972 Land Rover Series III 109″ Safari

I’ve owned a couple of Land Rovers over the years. one of which was an early seventies Series III Safari station wagon. The Land Rover Safari was our family car, family adventures car, and also the car for shooting trips, transporting friends for times out bush. It’s a car I around which I have many fond memories, even memories of events that were not so much fun at the time, such as replacing an engine rear main oil seal whilst parked in a caravan park. Thankfully when the oil pressure suddenly went to nothing I’d seen the little green warning light on the dashboard come on and immediately depressed the clutch and switched the engine off. So I did not have to overhaul a damaged engine, just replace the seal, and we were able to continue our adventure.

The original Land Rover was inspired by America’s iconic Jeep and in fact the early prototype was constructed on a Jeep chassis. The people over at Rover in Solihull, England, saw the need for a rugged go anywhere vehicle both for the military and for ordinary people, including those in Australia, New Zealand and of course Africa. Aesthetics were not really a concern, the flat front fenders being well suited to mounting brackets for a shovel and an axe (as I had on my first Land Rover). In fact an old shooting friend once said he like the flat topped fenders as they were ideal for scaling and gutting a fish on.

That pretty much sums up the design thinking in the creation of the Land Rover, nobody was trying to make it stylish or “cool”. The intention was to create something that was like a cross between a car and a Meccano set. Something that was easy to pull apart, fix, and put back together again. And indeed people treated the Land Rover as something of a do it yourself Meccano set by creating all sorts of modifications and extras to make it do what they wanted better.

Probably the most impressive “boys own” modified Land Rover is the Australian Perentie. Name after a big outback lizard the Land Rover Perentie featured galvanised chassis that could withstand being hoisted up by a helicopter by one corner without being distorted and which had its original engine replaced with a more substantial Isuzu 3.9 litre four cylinder diesel, either conventionally aspirated or turbocharged. Land Rover Perenties came in both 4×4 and 6×6 versions.

But for the family men amongst us who need to drive our Land Rovers on ordinary roads and who don’t actually need it to be a platform for a .50BMG the stock standard Series III Safari station wagon was a near perfect vehicle.

Engine of the Series III long wheelbase Land Rovers such as the Safari wagon was Rover’s 2,625 cc inlet over exhaust six cylinder designed by Jack Swain. Jack Swain’s design of this engine was more sophisticated than others from the likes of Packard and Harley Davidson. Jack Swain designed his inlet over exhaust engine with operational efficiency in mind rather than just simplicity of construction. he used an offset hemispherical combustion chamber and centrally located spark plug.

The inlet over exhaust design allows for large valves and also provides for good cooling of the exhaust as the exhaust valves are mounted in the cylinder block and are cooled by the cooling system in the block.

The Rover engine is a very interesting one to use and to work on and seems to have acquired something of an enthusiasts following, which is appropriate for a car that was designed to be easy to work on and tinker with.

The Land Rover version of the 2.6 litre engine featured a cylinder head designed by Harry Weslake and which enabled the engine power to be increased.

You’ll find a good short article on this engine at head2head.free-online.co.uk if you click here .

Power of the Land Rover versions of this engine produced 83 bhp at 4,500 rpm for the 7.1:1 compression version with torque of 128 lb ft at 1,500 rpm. The 7.8:1 compression engine produced 90 bhp at 4,500 rpm with torque of 131 lb ft at 1,500 rpm.

The 2.6 litre Rover engine drives through an all synchromesh four speed manual gearbox. Control for the four wheel drive engagement is a yellow push down lever just beside the main gear lever. To get four wheel drive engaged just push it down. The low and high range lever is coloured red and pushes forward or back depending on whether you want normal high range or low range.

For a PDF file of instructions of how to use the Land Rover gear system that also include how to use the optional Fairey overdrive unit click here .

The Land Rover Safari station wagon was reasonably comfortable to drive and to ride in. I’ve certainly done drives of over ten hours in Land Rovers on the standard seats and those journeys have been quite reasonable.

In the very rear of the Safari station wagon are two bench seats which are not really intended for long journeys. Nonetheless we used to fit four children and one Labrador dog in there without any difficulty. Fitting seatbelts in the rear for passengers is a good idea, we did.

Suspension of the Land Rovers was by leaf springs all around. The Series III Safari having a Salisbury rear axle for added ruggedness. Brakes are drums all around with a fifth drum brake on the transmission which serves as the parking brake.

On the highway the Land Rover Series III Safari does reasonably well but it is not fast. In fact I remember coming up behind a white Series III Safari on a country road trip which it’s owner had christened “Slow White” in large friendly letters on the rear door. Expect a highway cruising speed of around 55mph. If your Land Rover is fitted with the optional Fairey overdrive unit you can expect 60mph which is enough. Fuel mileage tends to be around seventeen miles to the Imperial gallon in my experience so around 14mpg for US gallons. Much the same as so many of the big US cars of the fifties and sixties.

Bodywork of the Land Rover is of an aluminium alloy called Birmabright, which is the same alloy Aston-Martin use on their DB4,5 and 6 cars. The Birmabright being fitted to a steel frame mounted on a rugged chassis. As with the Aston-Martins so with the Land Rovers owners need to watch for unlike metal corrosion between the aluminium alloy and the steel frame.

The blue Land Rover Series III Safari we have featured in this post is original and unrestored boasting a genuine mileage of only 29,000 miles which is remarkable given its four decades of life. The car has been mainly used for transporting shooters around an estate and it has lived a sheltered life garaged when not in use.

If you would like to find out full information about this Land Rover Series III Safari you will find the Bonhams auction page if you click here .

If you do manage to purchase it you will need workshop manuals which you can find if you click here , or here . You can also find an original owners handbook if you click here . Owning a Land Rover really makes sense if you want a car you can happily tinker with and maintain in perfect working order. I had a lot of fun doing that with both my old “Landies”.

CLASSIC 1979 LAND ROVER SERIES III 109 W/ SAFARI ROOF 83K UNRESTORED 12 SEATER

1979 Land Rover Defender 109 LWB Additional Info:

Solid, unrestored original 1979 Land Rover Series III. This is a solid Safari-roof 109 Wagon model in the desirable TWELVE SEATER configuration. Runs and drives well for a vintage 109. 83K original miles. Desirable 2.6L straight 6 cyl motor, not the 2.25 4 cyl motor. Salisbury rearend. Rebuilt carburetor, new water pump, exhaust gaskets, battery, HD alternator and brake master cylinder. New set of GOODYEAR Wrangler tires all around. Two spares. RUST FREE chassis, floorboards, doors, bulkhead and cross-member. Originally Marine blue, painted over in Wimbledon beige. No dents, accidents or damage. NEEDS PAINT. Nice original black leatherette interior, with good headliner, door panels and VERY CLEAN seats. All lenses replaced, vintage foglights. Still has its fold-down steps all the way around. Perfect grille. This super vintage 109 would make an excellent base for a concours restoration, an overlander or just drive it as it is. Gets tons of looks and turns heads even from $140K Range Rover drivers!

I am also advertising this vehicle in other venues, and as such, reserve the right to end this listing at any time, should a serious offer present itself. Solid 109s are getting harder and harder to find, specially in original, unaltered condition. Priced right at $22500 and it is turn-key and ready to drive.

I will be glad to assist coordinating shipping of this 109 anywhere nationwide or overseas, at the most economical shipping rate available. Please keep in mind, I do not control transporter pick-up or delivery times; that is pending weather conditions and shipping/ trucking delivery schedules. I will do everything I can on my end to ensure and expedite delivery at the most financially sensible rate on the market.

Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Payment can be made via cashier's check or certified funds.

Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds first, prior to any transportation arrangements being made.

If you have questions or would like to discuss other payment arrangements be sure to contact me prior to placing a bid.

An alternate method of payment can be done via bank wire transfer to my local CHASE Bank branch here in town. It is a very simple process, and it helps expedite delivery of the car.

Unlike the vast majority of sellers who advertise what they do not know ( let alone some sketchy car dealer!), I am a long-time Land Rover enthusiast and still own four others ( a 2010 Supercharged, a 2000 TreK, a 1987 SWB and a 1966 109). I have owned Land Rovers my whole life, various models and vintages, and know all their quirks well.

I am also a 26 yr veteran of this great country's military, and still serving. My reputation and feedback speak for themselves. I do not play games.

Feel free to EM or call me with questions or serious inquiries. Thank you for viewing

Land Rover Safari S3

How cool is this?  Grab your Belstaff Jacket and your Lanny keys & let the adventure begin.

The Series 3 is considered by many to be the most hardy version of the Land Rover ever constructed. It’s also the type of classic Land Rover that features strongly in the general public’s perception of the brand due to its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries set in Africa and India throughout the sixties.

Border Reivers are delighted to offer this Genuine and rare Land Rover Series 3 LWB 109 Station Wagon/Safari Petrol 2.25 litre 1979 Low mileage covered 63964 miles. An original factory made 12 seater Estate with a full County interior with a safari twin skinned roof, roof vents with headlining. Chassis number 93110505D with all matching factory numbers to engine and chassis. Declared manufactured 1979 Registration Date. 16th April 1980 (40 years historic tax)

An opportunity to purchase this previously much loved and now rare to the market Series 3 County Station Wagon 109” LWB  12 Seater .

On purchase, it was completely stripped down and the restoration began from the chassis upwards. The bodywork, chassis and running gear were stripped back, repaired where necessary and then reassembled in the time-honoured tradition. The engine was also rebuilt and reconditioned to match the high standards appropriate to this restoration. A similar approach was taken with the interior which is in excellent condition and a real credit, with new upholstery and roof lining through out.
The car really must be seen to truly appreciate the quality of the workmanship involved in bringing this Classic back to life.

The paintwork was in its original factory finish and the panels straight, the paint finish had lost its lustre and showing signs of aluminium where the paint had worn through. Land Rover like other manufacturers in 70’s were not acclaimed for their rust prevention technique’s, thus, Series Models having steel door frames all have various stages of corrosion. While this vehicle deserved a comprehensive respray it was fitted with five brand new doors while retaining the original front wings bonnet and all rear body panels. Documented photos of work undertaken. There have been many thousands of pounds spent over a 12 month long restoration with many new parts being extensively used throughout the 700 plus hours which have been a labour of love. I doubt you could find a better example for the money asked!

Bodywork- has been stripped to metal and re-sprayed in a professional booth with four coats of 2k Land Rover Marine Blue as per original colour. The bodywork has been meticulously prepared by a professional 1950’-60’s Porsche bodyworker to retain original factory spot welds and rivets. If you study the photos provided the spot welds are all evident as per factory.

Interior – Brand new quality Exmoor Trim with expensive special order deluxe second row seats to compliment the front row seats. Fitted throughout in thick quality insulated carpet with fully trimmed doors and fitted armrests. The roof air vents have been also refurbished also new window channels throughout. The dashboard is unmolested and in good condition there is an age related radio and speakers discreetly installed sometime back in the eighties. Chassis – is in great condition, the body was lifted from the chassis prepared and sprayed with 2 pack glass black paint.

Bulkhead – In very good condition being painted and sound insulated. Engine – 2.25 petrol 4 cylinder,now rebuilt runs smooth like a watch.

The full synchromesh gearbox, transfer box and 4-wheel drive operates smooth and quiet complimented with a Fairey Overdrive.

Recently refurbished braking system with servo assisted brakes. New wheel cylinders and brake shoes. New suspension, shockers, axle straps exhaust & engine manifold etc.

The original wheels are finished in Limestone fitted with the 7.50 R16 tyres It retains its Galvanised body cappings and front bumper as their original coating was intact (a pleasure to see) . All doors and panels have been sound proofed including floor panels, bulkhead, seat box and cabin areas using sound pads throughout making this the quietest Series 3. This car is a pleasure to drive.

Overall, this Series 3 looks fantastic and is without doubt a pleasure to drive as an everyday commuter and would be accepted at any venue.  Most importantly this is a fully functional  40 year old vehicle with low maintenance and insurance costs. This great car is only going up in value. This is a true classic being the Series 3  12 seater, understated and would attract admiring glances at the local show, shoot, pub or as we prefer the marina . What ever you choose it is a super cool ride with zero depreciation . This must be viewed & test driven its just simply fantastic. Perfect for taking the mates to the Le-Mans classic or the family to Goodwood. Don’t let it leave the country

Its road tax exempt, mot exempt & its also exempt from the London T-charge being a historic vehicle & from 7th Sept 2020, all historic vehicles will be exempt from the ULEZ. The 24/7 zone will have the same borders as the current Congestion Charge Zone.

Safari Gard Inc.

Hailing from Murrieta, CA, Safari Gard Inc. was founded in 1998 and operated by Greg Jevne with help from Matt Jevne, Brandi Albright, and Mary Chadd. This crew traveled the country showing off the incredible fabrication skills and innovative products based on their NAS Land Rover Defender 90. Though gone defunct in 2006, the designs had grown to become iconic with enthusiasts and product coverage spread across the Land Rover brand as well as Ford, Jeep, and Toyota. In those short 8 years, SG Inc. had begun international product distribution and nurtured a relationship directly with Land Rover North America to develop the Discovery II Kalahari concept which was displayed at SEMA.

Safari Gard LLC

After several months of research and direct contact with Greg Jevne, we decided to revive the brand and pay homage to the history by making the parts available again. This time with small design changes to improve manufacturability and consistency. In February 2020, "Safari Gard" was trademarked and the LLC formed in Orlando, FL. As a longtime Land Rover enthusiast and fan of Safari Gard Inc., we strive to produce and supply top quality products for your vehicles while continuing the legacy by also designing products for newer models. While the future is uncertain if we will branch outside of Land Rovers, we are working behind the scenes to build a webstore to allow for current product builds and quote requests. Look for this in the future as most parts are built to order, though some products that are in stock are listed on eBay. We are extremely active on social media, so be sure to follow along with us!
