The Appeal

Some Land Rovers follow the 'oily rag' approach of preservation rather than restoration, but this Series III bucks the trend. This 88" has been extensively restored and thoughtfully upgraded. Study the photographs, and you'll see this Series III has received an enormous quantity of work and the standard of finish is very high. Still powered by Land Rover's dependable 2.25-litre petrol engine, it has covered just 4,654 miles since its restoration and benefits from several considered improvements, including a power steering conversion, retrimmed seats, and heated front seats.
Finished in cream with a new brown canvas hood, it cuts an exceedingly smart and purposeful figure. Whether destined for weekend adventures, classic car shows or regular use, this Series III is nicely run-in post-restoration and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
