Rugged. Reliable. Simple. That is the name of the game with Series Land Rovers. After WWII the Rover Company needed to make a change from the luxury vehicles they had been building prior, and needed to build a vehicle of great utility, something widely exportable to help boost foreign trade, and furthermore be built using materials available during the strict rationing period after the war.
Maurice Wilks came up with a came up with a design for a a light agricultural and utility vehicle, and this came to become the Land Rover we all know and love. This particular example has the added bonus of a ‘rag’ top, rear seats, and the hugely reliable diesel engine that was used for a long period of time in the range.
V5 present, currently no MOT but will be presented with a fresh MOT on sale of vehicle. There is not a lot of paperwork or history with this vehicle, however there is some documentation detailing work carried out at the famed MinnowFish workshop in Lochgilphead.
The interior has recently been treated to a full detail, and as such it is very clean. It has a fantastic, rugged, original feel with loads of patina. The black vinyl passenger seats are in good condition bar a couple of small tears.
The vehicle is fitted with a non-original drivers seat which is also clean and in good condition. The carpets/vinyl are in very nice condition, and the rear bench seats are in good shape. The loading floor in the rear has a great patina to it while having been thoroughly detailed. The marine blue body matched interior panels fit wonderfully against the Tan soft top and black vinyl seats and dash. The spare wheel has also been painted marine blue.
As you would expect from a utility vehicle of this age and type, it is not by any means perfect or concours condition, and features the wear and tear of a long life of usage. That being sad it oozes character and every scratch, mark and blemish tell a story and really add to the feel of this wonderful series III.
Painted in wonderful marine blue, the finish has been carried out to a very nice standard, and having been recently detailed, the colour really pops. The black steel wheels are shod with Kingpin Pathfinder tyres. Black bumpers and tow rope wrapping the front bumper really completes the rugged, heritage utility look. I has a very nice desert tan coloured soft top which contrasts brilliantly against the blue and black.
The soft top is in good condition and is clean but some stitching is coming apart in areas so could do with a light restoration. Headlamps and lighting are all clear and work as they should. There is some corrosion to the bulkhead that could use attention but not imminently, and some of the aluminium panels have some corrosion going on under the paint which has caused some bubbling.
Overall, in the same fashion as the interior, this vehicle is not perfect, and will require some TLC and repair and prevention. But all of the imperfections actual add to the authenticity and character of the vehicle, and it is certainly solid where it counts.
Mechanically this Series III is very sound, everything works as it should. It has had mechanical work carried out by the famed MinnowFish workshop, responsible for the performance carburettor of the same name and the Argyll car.
Underneath and under the bonnet there is light corrosion and general wear and tear, but everything functions properly and is in good working condition. Currently it has no MOT as a few things need doing before sale, however these repairs will be carried out and a fresh MOT supplied at the point of sale.
Whilst wearing its age and service proudly, everything is present and running, and being the non-turbo model, there is very little to go wrong, owing to it performing as a dependable, classic utility vehicle for many years to come.
This example has a rare and very handy factory fitted gearbox overdrive, which is perfect for road-trip travel as it gives you a higher gear. The body work and chassis is in great usable order. The bulkhead is in good shape underneath but would benifit from some small and easy Localised repair, although repairs are not immediately nessasary.
A solid example, in need of some small repair jobs and TLC. Boasting great Patina, excellent paint finish quality, and very clean. Mechanically sound, this is a lovely example. Not concours, but a very usable, delightful utility vehicle with endless charm and character.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
