Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1981 Land Rover
Series III.
HISTORY
The Series III had the same body and engine options as the
preceding IIa, including station wagons and the 1 Ton versions.
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�headlights�were moved to the
wings on late production IIA models from 1968/9 onward (ostensibly
to comply with Australian, American and Dutch lighting regulations)
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 (the high compression engine had been an optional fit on
the IIa model for several years). During the Series III production
run from 1971 until 1985, the 1,000,000th Land Rover rolled off the
production line in 1976. The Series III saw many changes in the
later part of its life as Land Rover updated the design to meet
increased competition. This was the first model to
feature�synchromesh�on all four gears, although some late H-suffix
SIIA models (mainly the more expensive Station Wagons) had used the
all-synchro box. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
