Description
A full nut and bolt restored Land Rover series 3 from 1972, we have tried to keep to the original vehicle as much as possible including a hand sprayed Land Rover Bronze green finish with Limestone wheels and hard top. The mileage is recording as 13000 however there is no history with the vehicle so we doubt this is correct. The engine runs well and sounds great with an overdrive fitted, this vehicle is not modified to run on unleaded petrol and has been run with a lead additive. The restoration details:
