Land Rover celebrates its 70th anniversary by restoring the car with which it started

Land Rover is a brand that takes care of its classics. One of the tests is the Reborn programs, which have brought back to life even some copies of the Series I. And it turns out that in 2018 marks the 70th anniversary of the brand and there is already announcing special actions to celebrate it. One of them is the launch of the new Land Rover Defender, the other one that we bring you today is the restoration of a very special car.

Very few brands have managed to find the vehicle that started everything, the first they manufactured. But after years of searching, Land Rover has located one of the three pre-production copies with which it was presented to the public of the Amsterdam Salon in 1948. A prototype that later would lead to the Series I production and therefore it’s about life history for the British brand.

The location of this valuable specimen was a mystery for many years, but it could finally be found by the Land Rover specialists. It turns out that after its presentation was used as an exhibition vehicle and until 1955 was not enrolled to roll on the road. During that decade it passed through several owners, all of them in the United Kingdom and in 1968 it is seen for the last time before disappearing.

It turns out that the first Land Rover was nearly two decades old abandoned on a farm in Wales. At that time, the bodywork and engine began to spoil, but in 1988 a new owner located it with the intention of beginning a restoration process. It was not like that and he lost track again until, finally, the classic appeared in very bad condition in a garden that was curiously quite close to the Solihull plant where it was assembled.

Luckily, it is now in better hands and the Land Rover Classic team will perform the restoration it deserves. They will follow a rigorous and faithful process to the original, maintaining such special details as the aluminum alloy body, the galvanized chassis and even the original Light Green paint with which it was presented in 1948. We will be attentive to this restoration process of the original Land Rover, which will become a priceless jewel

What are the safest cars in 2018?

Are you looking for a new car in 2018 and one of your most important requirements is the safety it can offer? Well you should not miss the results of the Euro NCAP Best in Class 2017, with the models that behaved best in their crash tests. In the year that Euro NCAP turned 20, this independent body exceeded its brand of evaluated cars, testing no less than 70 vehicles. The time has come to know the results, with two big winning brands: Volkswagen and Subaru, although the safest car on the market is still a Volvo.

What are the safest cars in 2018?

Are you looking for a new car in 2018 and one of your most important requirements is the safety it can offer? Well you should not miss the results of the Euro NCAP Best in Class 2017, with the models that behaved best in their crash tests. In the year that Euro NCAP turned 20, this independent body exceeded its brand of evaluated cars, testing no less than 70 vehicles. The time has come to know the results, with two big winning brands: Volkswagen and Subaru, although the safest car on the market is still a Volvo.

So, the safest cars are: Large sedan Volkswagen Arteon, Large SUV Volvo XC60, Subaru XV compact SUV, Small SUV Volkswagen T-Roc, Utility Volkswagen Polo, Small Opel Crossland X minivan, Compact Subaru Impreza. They tell us that most of the models they tried last year were new to the market and that the vast majority of them achieved the maximum rating of five stars, which have almost nothing to do with those of just five years ago, as the evaluation system becomes increasingly strict. Conclusion: the improvement of safety is constant in modern vehicles. We can’t say the same about the restyling since the results reflect the lack of assistive technologies for driving. Michiel van Ratingen, the General Secretary of Euro NCAP, in addition to congratulating the winners, stresses that the results “confirm that the majority of new cars are good in all areas of security and are equipped with more technology to save lives.”

These are, in detail, the characteristics of some of the winners:

Volkswagen Arteon 2018. Safer Sedan

The German saloon has been classified as an executive vehicle with a higher score for the protection of pedestrians, thanks in part to the emergency braking function that it has as standard. Added to this are its innovative driver assistance systems and an integrated safety concept, that in the event of collision, safeguards its occupants to the maximum with optimized body structures and a highly effective safety belt.

Volvo XC60 2018. Big safer SUV

The new Volvo XC60 has technology to help drivers, protect the occupants of the vehicle and other road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, as well as mitigate collision risks. It follows the steps of XC90 2015, its older brother who won this same award in 2015. The goal of zero accidents in 2020 is being met.

Opel Crossland X 2017. Small MPV

It is not surprising that it won in this section of the safest car in its category. From its basic equipment level, includes in its standard equipment elements such as ABS, ESP, hill start assistant, driver airbags, passenger, front and curtain side, ISOFIX anchors, lane change warning, speed control, SOS emergency call or multifunction steering wheel.

Subaru Impreza 2018. Safer compact SUV

Made on the same platform and with the same technology as the XV, the Subaru Impreza gets in protection of adult passengers (94%), protection of child passengers (89%) and security systems (68%). In pedestrian protection, the Impreza has been scored with 82%.

Used 2012 Mercedes Benz C300 Cars for Sale Nigeria

Mercedes is a brand name that has a lot of mystique and image value in the mind of customers that no other brand can match up to. An Audi or a BMW driven down the road will not raise as many eyebrows as a Mercedes will and this is applicable even for the bottom of the range C300.

The 2012 Mercedes Benz C300 is a perfectly built sedan that feels solid, runs fast and has a good grip on the road. Although a sedan, but it has a nice smallish size to add to the practicality of the car. On the freeway, the car charges forward very smoothly in a surefooted, steady way. The solid smoothness of the drive makes you feel as if you are driving a much larger car.

Mercedes refurbished the C300 in 2012 by adding soft, classy, rich plastics to the interior to make it more befitting the executive class. New gadgets with high quality display along with more comfortable seats, makes the 2012 Mercedes Benz C300 much nicer on the inside.

Under the hood, you will find a new engine which comes in 7 speed automatic transmission. The 2012 Mercedes Benz C300 is fitted with a 3.0L V6 shuttling power engine with good fuel economy. This is the only C Class Mercedes car that is available in 4MATIC. From the driver’s point of view, the 2012 Mercedes Benz C300 is more responsive, quieter, fuel efficient, has crisp shifts and overall better performance on the road.

Which brands sell more cars in the world (in 2017)?

We all want to be the first. It is obvious that the human being is competitive by nature and in the automobile industry that was not going to change. Selling many cars does not guarantee you being profitable (it causes more expenses and you may not have many benefits per unit sold), but it is always a satisfaction to know that one year you have put more new cars into circulation than anyone else.

We now know, according to the data published by the Focus2move colleagues, that Toyota has been the best-selling car brand in the world. It exceeds almost two million units to Volkswagen and remains 2.6 million ahead of Ford, the third in sales worldwide.

Used 2011 Toyota RAV4 Cars for Sale Nigeria

Of the best compact SUVs, the Toyota RAV4 excels in convenience and practicality. A carryover for the 2010 RAV4, the Toyota RAV4 has become bigger and better over the years. This 4 door SUV can seat 5 people and also has a third row to seat additional 2 persons. The third row can be easily folded flat to make more room for the luggage. Besides rivals like 2011 Dodge Journey and the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander, the Toyota RAV4 is one of the few SUVs that give the third row seating option.

Available in 3 trim levels- the Base, the Sorts and the Limited, the 2011 Toyota RAV4 is a perfect family vehicle. Each of the trims has either of the 2 engines, a 2.5L , 179hp inline-4 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission or a 3.5L 269hp V6 5 speed automatic transmission. Although the 4 cylinder engine gives ample power but many refer the 6 cylinder engine as it feels faster and also gives more fuel economy. All the models give the choice of either a front wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Anti-theft system and the front active headrest is standard will all vehicles while the Hill-Assist Control is part of the V6 RAV4s.

This quick and easy to maneuver SUV is great not only for out of town weekend trips but also for everyday use. Getting in and out of the driver’s seat is easy and it is a great vehicle to move around people and load. The RAV4 has a smooth and stable ride. The Sports model is slightly harder to drive owing to its extra tuned suspension. The 4 wheel drive of the 2011 Toyota RAV4 is great on rain soaked and wintery roads.
