The Land Rover Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache of a product that continued to sell well across the world, despite increasingly tough opposition from a number of rivals, most notably Toyota. Series III improvements are easy to spot thanks to the headlamps being moved across to the front wings and an updated stylised plastic radiator grille. The updated and more safety conscious interior and all synchromesh gearbox acknowledged that the opposition was catching up, and the arrival of overdrive catered for those who needed their Land Rovers for serious on-road work.
This particular Series III 88″ was first registered on 12th of January 1983. The original registration BRU 48Y is pleasingly still retained. Presented in Mid Grey with black seats and various comforts including a very good heater. The most recent owner acquired the car in August 2017 to become only the 5th owner, and believes it was first the property of the BBC and used on outbound assignment work before being sold on to private ownership. The recorded mileage is just shy of 86, 000 and is supported by a comprehensive MOT history with certificates back to 1993 and tax discs back to 1989. Despite being driven for little over 1, 000 miles around his Sussex estate since 2017, the Land Rover has been maintained regardless of cost and this is supported by nearly £4, 000 of service work since acquisition in August 2017. Offered with a detailed BMI Heritage Certificate, MOT history and numerous service invoices evidencing the present condition of this classic Land Rover.
