109 V8 ?

It is our first clearly identified Land-Rover V8 Stage 1 (1979-85). The 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine and permanent four-wheel-drive was installed in a 109" chassis and made it a very interesting vehicle, albeit quite thirsty! As there was no 88" version, except a prototype, the chassis length was not used in the name. The 'Stage 1' was actually just a first stage in modernising the LR range but stuck as an identifier to the V8 ever since.

Thanks for the pictures, Jean-Marc. I had been waiting for the first V8!

Nice to see this long wheel-base LR... my favourite, though I prefer the grill shape of the contemporary 4 Cylinder version :)

My favourite, too. I also prefere the Series II with the inverted-T-grille and the lights in the middle.

There were actually a handful of 88" Stage 1 V8s built for one of the Carribean islands (Jamaica I think), but that was a one off. If I remember correctly less than 10 of them were built and the confrimed that even the heavily restricted V8 producing just 91bhp was too much for the 88" chassis.

Early one (Feb 79+) with body colour headlight surrounds. Initially export only until August 80 when black surrounds fitted and UK sales started.

The "handful of 88" Stage 1 V8s" ^ were a batch of 25 for Jamaica police, but they cancelled so were sent to Trinidad & Tobago instead.
