The “Series” generation Land Rovers are rapidly increasing in collectability, with the earliest examples commanding strong money for quite some time. But now, even Series IIIs are becoming quite valuable – a combination of nostalgia, ease of maintenance and a strong enthusiast following meaning they’re becoming more and more cherished.
Ones with a story are always well-liked, and this one has a great tale to tell, having been found on a farm in 2021, unused for the past 13 years and as a non-runner. A wonderfully original example of the 109” panel van, it was sympathetically restored underneath, mechanically overhauled but left exactly as found on top. It’s all the better for it, as it’s a truck with remarkable charm.
The vendor is a Land Rover collector and has had his fun with it, but now wants to crack on with a seemingly endless number of projects, so it’s time for the Series III to find a new home. qDAnTt2A1SGZ22cLuHdIqgXVaF8gKqw6K53mkEvS.jpg935.75 KB

This is a deeply characterful Land Rover that wears it history on its flanks for all to see – it’s far from concours, but it’s all the better for it, dripping with charm and patina and also a genuine 22,500-mile truck that drives brilliantly well.
Neither modified nor restored, but repaired in all the important places when needed, this is a fabulous example of a truly charming Series III – the likes of which you’ll never be able to replicate. One to be loved, enjoyed and preserved exactly as it is.
