1974 LAND ROVER SERIES III

This 1974 Land Rover Series III is a characterful 4x4, which is presented in excellent condition following a restoration during the previous ownership, which included a new galvanised chassis and rebuilt engine. Under the bonnet sits the 2.3-litre inline-four, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission.

First registered in November 1974, this Series III is finished in a classic Bronze Green hue, with a tan canvas hood, cream wheels, and the correct galvanised body trims. The odometer currently indicates 60,179 miles.

During the restoration, the car was fitted with a new galvanised chassis painted black, as well as a new bulkhead. The car’s rugged bodywork is all in good shape, with the vendor indicating that the car has undergone a professional respray. Its green paintwork now presents in excellent condition, though the vendor notes that the car’s next owner may wish to re-paint the bonnet for a truly pristine appearance. The canvas roof is new and fits very well, and all of the galvanised exterior trims were also renewed during the restoration. The vehicle rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels, which are in great shape following refurbishment, with only some minor paint flaking around the wheel nuts.

Inside, the seats have been re-trimmed with black leather, which are in excellent condition. The dashboard has been left original with its period patina, and so there is some scratching and scuffs present, and some lesser marks to the instrument dials and surrounding trim. However, all of the controls work as they should, and there are no known electrical faults. The rear load bay benefits from protective flooring, and houses the Land Rover’s spare wheel.

The engine was rebuilt during the restoration, and the vendor is awaiting prior service history from the last owner. However, the condition of the engine bay alone is evidence of the extensive mechanical refurbishment. The vendor reports that the brakes, exhaust, and suspension were also renewed as part of the work, with all four tyres also replaced.

This Land Rover Series III is an iconic off-roader presents in very good condition. Its prior sympathetic restoration has left some charming original items intact, while bringing the rest of the car up to an impressive standard. It would make a smart weekend cruiser, or even a practical classic workhorse to put into regular service, where its capability can still exceed many modern 4x4s.
