Description
For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, Land Rover® Series 3 Ragtop in Mid Grey (1984).
Petrol 2286cc. Will be supplied with 12 months MOT. 7 Seater. Bonnet Mounted Spare. Parabolic Springs. New Canvas. Towbar and Electrics. Front Towball. Very late Series 3 being registered in April 1984 – the very last year of Series production.
Here we have for sale this 1984 Land Rover® Series 3 Ragtop, presented in popular (and rarely seen) Mid Grey colour scheme, with Limestone Wheels and Sand Canvas.
Externally, it has all the features one would hope to see – the bonnet mounted spare, road biased tyres for a better on-road driving experience, rear grab handles, towbar and electrics to allow towing, larger defender style mirrors for greater visibility, bonnet catches, front towball for extra manoeuvrability and a recent canvas to complete the look. In our opinion, it looks just as it should – it is great to see the bodywork is a spray type finish too.
The interior is largely standard, with three recent front standard seats, along with deluxe matting to the footwells. There is a seat belt bar fitted to allow 3 point inertia reel belts in the front, which is required for the modern MOT test, and means no requirements to adjust static belts. The rear houses a pair of bench seats, along with a load mat to the floor to protect against scratches. This means the ability to carry seven occupants including the driver – so the whole family can come along for the day out.
Out on the road, this Series 3 drives just as it should, with the parabolic springs and road biased tyres giving a more compliant ride over standard – the benefit of a Galvanised Chassis Rebuild is a well sorted feel behind the wheel. It delivers a pleasing period drive aided by the upgrades.
In summary, if you are looking for a Series 3 in a sought after colour combination which has also benefitted from a Galvanised Chassis rebuild, then this could be for you. With upcoming MOT & Tax Exemption, classic insurance already available, a galvanised chassis to ward away corrosion, upgrades to make the driving experience more relaxing and enjoyable, room to carry the whole family with seven seats and being half the price than if one was to commission a rebuild themselves, this Series offers the ability to have the best of both worlds, without breaking the bank to do so.
