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. It was during the Series III production in 1979 that the Rover V8 engine (in low compression form) was added to the range. It was export-only at first, but came to the UK to pick up a small but loyal fan base.
Benefiting from a body off chassis recommission carried out around 6 years ago which is self evident today, this example is fitted with new black interior upholstery which presents in excellent order. Finished in light green with a white hardtop, it is intended to be driven to the sale and is offered with a current Swansea V5c.
