About this car

This is a 1982 Land Rover Series III in short-wheelbase 88-inch soft-top form, powered by the 2.25-litre petrol four-cylinder with 77 bhp and a four-speed manual gearbox. It is finished in Pastel Green with a black vinyl interior.

It has been usefully updated rather than left strictly original. Recent work includes a full mechanical overhaul, a Weber carburettor upgrade, parabolic rear suspension and an overdrive, all aimed at making it easier to live with than a typical Series III. The chassis and bulkhead are galvanised.

The odometer reads 18,863 miles. The dealer says it was reset in 2022 after extensive work, with no more than about 16,091 miles at that point, so the figure is not guaranteed. A large file of invoices and MOT certificates runs from 2002 to 2024, along with V5C keeper slips. At over 40 years old, the car is exempt from MOT and road tax.

Power, weight and performance left null because the variant doesn't say which engine; drive is part-time selectable 4x4.).
