Vehicle Description
If you're supposed to go on safari tomorrow, but forgot to pick up
a vehicle, this 1974 Land Rover Series III has you covered. It's a
4x4 worthy of its go-anywhere lineage, and it has nice off-road
upgrades. And because we all love a cool/classic Land Rover, it
looks great on the road, too.
The Land Rover is often the first to reach the developing
countries. That's because no other 4x4 can reach the remote places
that these tough machines can. And the Series III like this is an
unmistakable part of that lineage. This one looks ready for
adventure at a moment's notice with the hood-mounted spare, rock
screens over the headlights, auxiliary lights in the bumpers, and a
proper Jerrycan gas can on the rear. And the rope draped across the
entire front end has the kind of thick cord that can get anyone out
of trouble. And speaking of solutions, the 12,000 lbs winch is
beyond just handy. You even have a trailer hitch. It's all finished
in a proper Land Rover package where the classic green has the look
of a vehicle that has seen many adventures. And it's accented by a
white roof and white wheels for a hint of cool/vintage
two-tone.
No matter if it's a Rolls-Royce or a Land Rover, everyone always
loves the look of a British car in right-hand drive. So you'll love
the looks you get when getting out of the "opposite" side on this
4x4. But this one was built for more than just showing off. The
classic thin and grippy steering wheel feels purposeful and great
in your hands. As you gaze over the dash, everything from the
speedometer to toggle switches are correct and crisp. Bucket seats
provide nice comfort, and the jump seat in the middle is there when
you need it. Plus, the rear is ready to handle all your gear with
the wide-opening rear door. There are even nice extras, like proper
three-point seatbelts and an AM/FM/CD stereo.
The 2.5-liter motor is part of the robust tradition of durable Land
Rover power. So it's great to have this one looking so stock. But
while this looks highly original, it also received the right
maintenance, including receipts within the last year for the
carburetor and transmission. And the clean undercarriage photos
also prove that this one has been treated with respect. The
four-speed manual gearbox gives you complete control over the
motor. Plus, the two-speed transfer case and upgraded Firestone
Destination tires allow this impressive classic to still live up to
its go-anywhere reputation.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and workshop
manual. This is the legendary 4x4 that has all the right moves to
back up its tough appearance. So if you want to go everywhere and
look great doing it, call today!
