1990 Land Rover Pazhan 2500
Land Rover Pazhan 2500 Pick Up 1990
Sometime in the late 1960s, Santana agreed a licence contract with Morattab vehicle manufacturing group to allow production of Santana Land Rover products in Iran. In their factory at Farsi, Morattab assembled Santana based 88 inch and 109 inch Santana Series vehicles, with major components shipped from Spain as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits. According to sources, Morattab started full production of Santana Land Rover licensed vehicles around 1970.
The Iranian Lightweight, although bearing a strong similarity to the Santana Militar, was reported to be of almost 100% Iranian manufacture. Currently (2007), around 90% of the vehicle's content is manufactured in Iran. For this reason, Morattab vehicles have evolved separately from Santana, just as Santana did from Land Rover. Santana sold on their Series IV / 2500 production line to Morattab around 1995, and the Pazhan model finds it's roots in this leaf-sprung Santana vehicle. Production volume in Iran in 2003 was 1,369 Station Wagons and 223 pick-ups.
Evolving from the Santana 2500 design, the modernized 3-door Pazhan 2400 GS / GSV station wagon and the 4-door Pazhan 2400 GD / GLD pick-up models were introduced in 1999, with the 5-door Pazhan 2400 GL station wagon added in 2000. All had 4x4 drive and Land Rover Defender style bodies, and were equipped with 2.4-litre 105hp engines.
In 2004, the following versions were launched:
The 5-door Pazhan 3000 GLV station wagon, and the 5-seat Pazhan 3000 GLD / GLP pick-ups, equipped with a 3.0-litre 160 hp V6 petrol power plant.
