1980 LAND ROVER SERIES III 88' PICK UP

KEY FACTS

  • A smartly presented classic 4x4, with low mileage and a period-correct colour scheme.
  • Under the bonnet is the 2.25-litre inline-four, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel-drive.
  • It was serviced in April 2021 and is offered in good mechanical order.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • This Series III is finished in Marine Blue paintwork with an Ivory roof and colour-coded Ivory steel wheels. Inside, there is black vinyl upholstery.
  • Other than the larger 16-inch wheels and an external sun visor over the windscreen, this Defender remains faithful to the period specification.
  • The original levers and toggle switches adorn the dashboard, while the yellow and red knobs for the four-wheel drive and transfer case selection are still present.

CONDITION

  • No known bodywork damage.
  • Its Marine Blue paintwork has been resprayed, and presents very well outside and in. However, the Ivory roof section appears to have been brush-painted.
  • A few small stone chips are visible on the front end, and a small section of paint has been worn away from the bonnet, where the windscreen has previously been folded flat. There is also some chipped paint in the loading bay.
  • A slight tear is visible along a seam in the passenger backrest, but the black vinyl upholstery is otherwise in very good shape.
  • All of the electrics work as they should.
  • The most recent MOT test was on 3 June 2020 at 55,116 miles, which was a pass with four advisories to monitor a non-excessive oil leak, corrosion on the rear body component brackets, slight play in the offside front lower steering arm bracket, and both rear upper shackle bolts showing thread behind the nut – though no movement was detected at the time of the test.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • The car was serviced by the vendor in April 2021, where its engine oil, oil filter, brake fluid, gearbox oil and transfer box oil were all changed.
  • The front crankshaft oil seal has also been replaced during the vendor’s ownership.

SUMMARY

This Land Rover Series III 88” Pickup is a rugged 4x4, which presents with low mileage and remains highly original as regards specification. It has been recently serviced, and would now make a fun weekend classic or practical off-roader for any enthusiast.
