Both Land-Rover UK and Santana were under financial pressure so there was a lot of squabbling, and Spanish frustration that UK changes were too expensive or inappropriate for Spanish market, so they started to diverge further in product away from UK ranges, with the Spanish S3a and then S4 versions. The first big rift seems to have been in 1983, when the agreement for exclusive market territories was terminated, meaning English and Spanish versions could now compete in the same countries. However there was still some remnant collaboration and component supply for a few years, and mutual arrangements for markets such as Iran which politically Land-Rover had to abandon but facilitated supply by Santana. But by the late 80s the marriage was over, and Santana dropped the Land-Rover references. Am still confused when the SIV actually appeared - whether 1983 as in my bible (which means it ran alongside the SIIIa for a few years and would have had Land-Rover badging) or whether it was the post-divorce model (1987? 1989?) without any Land-Rover reference. And to complicate further it looks as if post-divorce the SIV name was quickly replaced by 2500 with no Series number. There are too many different references and claims within these troubled years to work out what precisely happened and when. Noted we have a handful of mid-80s examples listed as Land Rover Santana Series IV (some 88" and a 109" Super), and we have a clump of Series IIIa 109 Supers listed as 1989 (all Police versions). I'm not going to disturb their peaceful slumbers. /vehicle.php?id=129958
