The Appeal
Series Land Rovers are enormous fun, not just to drive, but also to work on. They're big Meccano sets, perfect for DIY mechanics to cut their teeth on.
The restoration thoughtfully incorporates some Series III components including the bulkhead, wings, and dashboard, enhancing usability whilst maintaining the Land Rover's period charm. Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt 2.25-litre diesel engine paired with a working Fairey overdrive, a highly desirable feature that transforms the driving experience on longer journeys.
The restoration has been thorough, with the replacement chassis stripped, treated, painted, and WaxOyled inside and out. Modern conveniences such as new deluxe seating, a stereo, reversing camera, and LED lighting have been tastefully integrated, whilst the new canvas roof and hoops ensure weather protection. Always kept covered in a storage barn, this Land Rover benefits from MOT and road tax exemption, as well as ULEZ exemption, making it a practical proposition for regular use.image.png1.51 MB
