[garethp]

Looks very much like a land rover, so close they must have bought some rights?

santana ps10 in a skirt basically, with the iveco/tgv 2.8 tdi in. solid motors. on leaf springs, usually thought of as a "series 4", i.e not quite a series, not quite a defender

looks like it was never imported to UK finished in 2011

I'd like to see how it has 4 reverse gears, unless it's fitted with a form of overdrive unit.

A 140 or 170bhp engine means it should tow ok.

But no price.

Seems it's produced in conjunction with Santana.

Hi, It probably has reverse in the transfer box enabling use of all gears in the mainbox.

Austin Champs had the same capability but was unusable in practice reliably because of a quirk of the driveline arrangement.

i get the feeling that for all the " uncompromising 4x4" crap hes been spouting, its going to turn into a rich kids tarmac queen with the focus on making it too fast for its own good

I drove a series Landy with a bmw 6 cylinder 3.0 it was great but terrible brakes! The chap said his next one was a 335d but was struggling with engine management

I never knew that

Will be saving my slt 35 and replacing it hopefully with a v8 I’m bidding on at the moment

Wouldn’t bother, the 35 will give much better service than a v8 that’ll be worn out when you get it, unless it’s something special

 

[stuvy]

It’s from a tvr but only being swapped to build it up then sell it as I want to keep the slt

The 2.8 is just a big 300tdi

Always fancied a go with one of the old 6-cylinder Santana diesels. IIRC they were basically a 5 bearing landy 2.25 diesel redesigned with 2 extra cylinders. Supposed to be a much better engine than the 2.5 NA landy one.

Come to think of it, didn't Santana do a 5 bearing engine before Land Rover? ISTR reading that on a 4x4 forum a while back.

Hopefully, theirs didn't shear crankshafts.
