1981 Land Rover® Series 3 SOLD SOLD

For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, Land Rover® Series 3 in Mid Grey (1981).

Petrol 2286cc. Will be supplied with 12 months MOT, but exempt anyway. Tax Exempt. Deluxe Seats. Weber Carburettor. Defender Door Mirrors. Rear Mudflaps. Original Galvanised Cappings. Door Cards.

We are delighted to present for sale this MOT & Tax Exempt Series 3 Land Rover®, presented in rare to see Mid-Grey with Limestone Wheels. This vehicle has been a local car to us for years and has been in the North East of England (Bishop Auckland) with the last keeper.

Externally, this vehicle has a very stock appearance, with the exception of some larger, defender style door mounted mirrors to aid rear visibility. The bodywork is of a spray type finish, and the galvanised cappings are original, which is nice to see. There are some rear mudflaps and grab handles fitted, along with a set of 700 tyres with a cross-climate tread (Hankook Branded). All of this culminates into a very clean look – no nasty additional extras or clutter – and in our opinion, it looks all the better for it.

On the inside, there are a set of 3 deluxe front seats, with deluxe matting to the footwells. The rear is unfitted, with the exception of a load mat and the spare tyre, which is housed in the correct place on the rear of the bulkhead as pictured. All doors have new door cards fitted, which is a nice touch.

Out on the road, this Series 3 delivers a pleasing period driving experience – no added frills, and just a slightly larger tyre to aid with cruising and increase gearing. The cross-climate tyres mean a better on-road performance too, without sacrificing too much off road ability. Due to the fact this colour is often seldom seen, it attracts a great deal of glances as you drive along.

In summary, if you are looking for a ‘stock’ and ‘no frills’ Series 3 Land Rover®, then this could be for you. With MOT & Tax Exemption, along with classic insurance, it should prove cost-effective to own in the longer term, whilst also being the minimum hassle one can expect of a 40 year old Land Rover®!
