Description
This Land Rover Series III 88 inch 2. 25 petrol convertible was built in November 1974 and first registered in January 1975. Land Rovers of this era were built for utility rather than luxury, and the interior is to a good standard while retaining its originality. The three black vinyl front seats have been refurbished while in the back there are two vinyl bench seats. All seven seats have inertia-reel seatbelts.
The dials, dashboard and switchgear are all in very good condition, and everything works as it should, even the heating fan.
To help with modern living a USB port has been subtly added to the dashboard which strikes a balance between originality and practical usability that many enthusiasts seek. Its lovely, enamelled Bronze Green paint completes the look, along with its versatile Exmoor beige canvas cover with rear window and black vinyl seats. Perfect for summer motoring. The vendor is selling the vehicle as he does not use it as much as he would like. Comes with a box of various spares and reference books. It is MOT and road tax exempt. Vehicle is kept in a garage.
