Originally introduced in 1948 and fitted with a 1. 6 litre petrol engine, the Land Rover was inspired by the WWII wartime Jeep. Later fitted with a 2 litre engine, the Land Rover progressed through models series 2 and 2A and then the series 3 which was announced in September 1971. This model became one of the longest lived lasting until 1990, gradually becoming less basic as the years went on. The Series 3 Station Wagon was offered as a short wheelbase 7-seater and a long wheelbase 12-seater.
DKT 615K is an example of a largely original and unmolested 7-seater Station Wagon. The Vendor’s father purchased the car in 1987. Since the Vendor inherited the vehicle in 1999, it has been carefully looked after and used sparingly. In 2001 the car was treated to a respray and at the same time the bulkhead was replaced. Other works we are advised that have been carried out over the years include replacement of all springs, axle checkstraps, some seats, all entry steps, a replacement engine fitted in the year 2000 and a replacement chassis in 2018. The Land Rover has been regularly serviced and was MOT’d until the end of July 2023 despite being MOT and Tax exempt.
Finished in an original Land Rover Blue, with some light surface rust, the vehicle presents well and could be used for use of showing ‘as is’. It currently has ordinary tyres on the front and mud pluggers on the rear and is fitted with the larger LWB rims. The spare wheel carrier is sensibly attached to the bodywork rather than the back door.
Offered with a Current V5c, and a host of receipts for work carried out as well as several old MOT certificates and tax discs.
