Description
1972 Land Rover Series 3 88 2. 25 petrol
First registered 13/ 12/ 1972
Classic bronze green sitting on a galvanised chassis and parabolic springs.
This is a very solid Series 3 with extensive service work making it a reliable daily driver that’s been mechanically gone through.
Panels, floors, bulkhead, tub, doors, wings etc are all really straight and in good order, it’s solid and tidy underneath and although majority has been painted green there are sections that remain in its original marine blue.
Classically aged patina and a usable example that’s ready to be enjoyed.
Three deluxe seats in good condition and seat belts are there for driver and passenger. Heater works and the dash is in decent condition.
Over the past few months it has had over £3, 000 spent on mechanicals including running gear overhaul at JLR Series Land Rover specialist in Cornwall including the following:
Reconditioned gear box including 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear synchro hub, full set of bearings, seals, shims, thrust washers, bronze bush and baulk rings.
Reconditioned transfer box including linkages replaced and new springs to engage 4x4/ 2x4.
New/ recon front prop fitted, new front pinion seal, front springs, new shackle bushes fitted. New diff pan and replacement/ recon rear diff, diff pinion seal.
Full oil service including filters changed and all transmission oils replaced with correct EP90 GL4.
New clutch fitted, new windscreen washer pump, new front door lock mechanisms, new fuel filler cap, new front mats and mud flaps.
Recently powder coated wheels and new starter motor and 4 new Goodyear 750 tyres give it a slightly more chunky purposeful look.
It is now a really solid, nicely driving Series 3 that’s ready for daily or Sunday driving, running to the beach or attending the horses across any field!
A quiet petrol engine that has been mechanically looked after and with the recent service work is now a reliable, easy driving classic land rover with room for improvement.
