Land Rover Llama - Effect On The Land Rover Range

Effect On The Land Rover Range

Very little new technology was developed for the Llama project, and so there was no real effect on the existing range. However, the Ninety/One Ten range, and their successors, carried a reminder of the Llama project for many years.

The cluster of warning lights on the dashboard of the Land Rover was modified in anticipation of the launch of the Llama to include a new light. This carried the symbol of a tilting lorry cab with a large exclamation mark. Its purpose would have been to warn the driver of a Llama if the locking mechanism for the tilting cab was unlocked. This new cluster was fitted to all Land Rovers from mid-1987 (with the cab-lock warning light not wired in, obviously). This design of warning light cluster remained in use on Land Rover Defenders until 1998, 10 years after the Llama project was cancelled.

Famous quotes containing the words effect on the, effect on, effect, land, rover and/or range:

    “Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)

    “Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable; of a bad one, to make it less valuable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd.
    “This Land of Saints,” and then as the applause died out,
    “Of plaster Saints;” his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Old Rover in his moss-greened house
    Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse.”
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    “During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
