Specification
General Configuration
The Stage 1 V8 was available as
standard as a truck-cab, van sided hard-top or a 10 or 12 seat
station wagon, depending on the market for which it was destined,
all based on the Series III 109 inch chassis. A high capacity
pick-up (HCPU) laterr became available. In addition, the vehicle
could be purchased as a chassis cab for specialist conversions
and all models could be specified with the County trim pack when
that was introduced.The chassis itself was adapted to accomodate
the V8 engine and gearbox, with no.1 crossmember being moved forward
beneath the newly relocated grill, and the gearbox crossmember
being of the removable type - a first on the utility models.
As well as the range of six colours
available on the standard Series III Land Rover, the Stage 1 V8
could also be specified in one of four additional colours: Java
Green, Masai Red, Inca Yellow and Pageant Blue. Russet Brown later
became available with the County Station Wagon.
