The Appeal
The Land Rover Series III 88" represents the culmination of decades of development of the original Land Rover concept, maintaining the name's reputation for rugged, go-anywhere character without losing its distinctive, boxy, mid-century charm. They remain a remarkably practical classic, and you'll still see them day-to-day roaming rural communities.
This 1975 example has been preserved in largely original condition, maintaining the authentic character that enthusiasts prize. With documented history and a straightforward, honest level of working patina, this 4x4 is a fine opportunity that's bound to impress the lucky new owner.
