THE RANGE ROVER CHIEFTAIN
Breathing new life into the revered Range Rover Classic with intensive re-engineering for a more modern, more exciting and impressive driving experience, JIA in Banbury replaces the outdated suspension with a new independent system, steering & brakes and upgrades the drivetrain with a modern V8 engine & gearbox, whilst retaining the legendary 4WD transmission
New re-engineered chassis for better ride and handling
Based on an original specification Range Rover item, the JIA re-engineered chassis incorporates the additional strength and modified mountings for our spectacular transformation of the running gear.
Fully independent double wishbone suspension
Key to the transformation is replacement of the original outmoded live axles with our unique and innovative adjustable double wishbone suspension all round for vastly improved ride and roadholding.
6.2L 430BHP V8 for superior performance
Staying true to the concept of an American derived V8 engine, JIA turn to the excellent General Motors LS range of engines and complementary automatic transmissions to deliver reliability, improved fuel economy and a highly appropriate soundtrack, not to mention a power delivery to match the enhanced axles and braking.
