72LandRover88 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 It is in fact a Land Rover 101 Forward Control. The soft top varients are a bit better than others but still drives like a shipping container on wheels. A a pig on fuel. Unless someone has swapped engines it has a Rover V8 petrol engine. Can not be entiraly sure on model year, normally rover people don't focus on model years. For example, if a Rover person asked me what I have it would be a Series 3, 88 (88 inch wheel base). There would be no mention of the 1972 model year. That being said, if I recall correctly, all the 101's where brought into service sometime in the mid 60's to mid 70's timeframe. And no power steering..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72LandRover88 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Lol i thought it said "unless" it has the v8 lol. I will get all details today. Easy mistake. No worries. If I am not mistaken, they were all built with the all aluminum 3.5L Rover petrol V8. Fun fact: this engine started it's life as the Buick 215 back in the 1950s when GM started experimenting with all aluminum V8s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLTLNR Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 talked to dude, asking 8,000$ it does need some tlc he says, not sure of everything he needs. But, from what i understand, in the grand scheme of things, its not a total rebuild (ie tires maybe and stuck thermostat). edit: not to take advantage lol he literally has no idea its value.

autumnwalker Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm going to guess it is not worth $8,000. Is it all original? For the record, I'm not going to buy it, I'm just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
