Details:
The Land Rover Series III had the same body and engine options as the preceding IIA, and little changed cosmetically from the IIA to the Series III. The Series III is the most common Series vehicle, with 440,000 of the type built from 1971 to 1985. The lights were moved to the wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward and remained in this position for the Series III. The traditional metal grille, featured on the Series I, II and IIA, was replaced with a plastic one for the Series III model. The 2.25-litre engine had its compression raised from 7:1 to 8:1, increasing the power slightly. During the Series III production run from 1971 until 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the production line in 1976. This was the first model to feature synchromesh on all four gears, and in keeping with early 1970s trends in automotive interior design, both in safety and use of more advanced materials, the simple metal dashboard of earlier models was redesigned to accept a new moulded plastic dash. The instrument cluster, which was previously centrally located, was moved to the driver's side. Long-wheelbase Series III vehicles had the Salisbury rear axle as standard.
The vendor states that this vehicle has been imported from California, and he bought it from an auction in November 2014. The vehicle is in immaculate condition, has been completely restored.
