In the late 1970s, Land Rover faced increasing competition in the 4x4 market. The Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol were formidable competitors. It caused sales of the Land Rover Series to decline. For example, the British state decided to give money to the British manufacturer to take on international competition. The first tranche of state aid was used for the first project code-named 'Stage One'. This is also how the official name for the car came about. The Land Rover Stage One V8 got Rover's 3. 5 liter V8 engine under the hood. To achieve this, the grill had to be placed at the front towards the front. This gave rise to the look that we still know from the Defender today. The Stage 1 was only available in the long 109-inch version. The V8 was also the only version of the Series to be equipped with permanent 4WD.

We proudly present our Land Rover Stage 1 V8 in Inca yellow. The car was delivered new in the Netherlands and remained there its entire life. You often find converted copies, but this is an original V8 with the correct original gearbox. Matching number car! A very healthy car with a tight chassis, healthy doors, beautiful interior, etc. This is really rare for these cars. With this Land Rover you have 10 seats and can therefore embark on any adventure.

Many parts have recently been replaced such as brakes, clutch pumps, thermostat, water pump, etc. .

The original Dutch license plate and a file with recent maintenance invoices are included with the car. As well as the original production sheet with all specifications.

Eind jaren 70 kreeg Land Rover steeds meer concurrentie op de markt van de 4x4 wagens. De Toyota Land Cruiser en Nissan Patrol waren te duchten concurrenten. Het deed de verkoopcijfers van de Land Rover Series teruglopen. Zo besloot de Britse staat om geld aan de Britse constructeur te geven om de internationale concurrentie aan te gaan. De eerste schijf staatsteun werd gebruikt voor het eerste project met de code naam ‘ Stage One’ . Zo onstond ook de officiële naam voor de wagen. De Land Rover Stage One V8 kreeg de 3. 5liter V8 motor van Rover onder de motorkap. Hiervoor moest de grill vooraan naar voor geplaatst worden. Zo ontstond de look die we tot op heden nog kennen van de Defender. De Stage 1 was alleen beschikbaar in de lange 109-inch versie. De V8 was ook de enige versie van de Series die met permanente 4WD was uitgerust.
