The Attractions

There aren't many cars that can truly be described as 'timeless', but the Land Rover is definitely one of them. These unstoppable 4x4s were produced with very similar lines from 1948 to 2016 - a period of almost 70 years!

This 1976 Land Rover is a short-wheelbase Series III diesel. Registered as a commercial vehicle but still approved for 7 seats, it is a particularly versatile variant of this famous model, perfect for fun off-road adventures. Both the interior and exterior have recently been freshened up and the mechanics overhauled, so it is ready to go.
