By 1984 the Series III remained available for those who wanted the traditional Land Rover while the new coil-sprung Ninety and One Ten were establishing themselves. Santana, the Spanish licensee that had built Series Land Rovers in kit form since 1958, saw its licence from Land Rover lapse in 1983 and had to carry on with its own related designs. The Stage 1 V8 was still being built, with the New Zealand Army's 566 vehicles entering service between 1982 and 1986.
