1983 Land Rover Series III 88 SWB

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Genuine 67,250 miles 
  • Large history folder 
  • Last of the ‘Series’ Land Rovers 

THE APPEAL 

Classic Land Rovers have long been a popular choice for many enthusiasts. The British manufacturer has a charming heritage with ties to the agricultural community no other car producer has. When you think of the countryside and the outdoors, a Land Rover is always part of the picture. 
Designed to be robust, capable and practical, the ‘Series’ Land Rovers started their reign in 1948 with the Series I. Its successor, the Series II arrived in 1968, the IIA in 1961 and then finally, what you see here, the most successful variant of the Series models, the Series III in 1971. 
This 1983 registered Landy, is a great genuine example of the desirable classic and has benefited from some recent, small body reconditioning under its current ownership. It is accompanied by a large folder of invoices, receipts and records, with an itemised summary detailing the extensive care and mechanical maintenance it has received. 
The last of the Series range, these historic vehicles are continuing to grow in popularity and with many others for sale requiring a lot more attention, this Series III is a great opportunity for someone looking to jump in and drive with the option of reconditioning as they go.
