For Sale: 1973 Land Rover Series III in Halton Hills, Ontario

1973 Land Rover Series III For Sale - Land Rover Green, Soft Top, Power Brakes LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1973 Land Rover Series III The third generation or "Series III" was the last of the original Land Rovers. Ever since the Series I model rolled off the production line in 1948, Land Rover had been improving the design and functionality. The third generation of the famed Land Rover was introduced to American market for 1971. From the side, it seemed like little had changed from the previous Series IIA. That's because cosmetically, most of the changes were up front. The Land Rover Series III featured a new plastic grille over the previous wire mesh and the headlights were surrounded by new trim pieces. Many more changes, however, lurked under the surface. The transmission now had syncros in all forward gears, an alternator replaced the generator, the dashboard was redesigned, and more controls moved to the steering column. Atypical of Land Rover, year to year changes were virtually non-existent, aside from meeting newer federal standards. This 1973 Land Rover Series III is a nice example of the classic British off roader presented in classic Land Rover green. Inside the passenger compartment, the Series III is far better appointed than it would have been from the factory, with tan upholstered seats in the front and rear, upholstered door panels, tan gear lever boots and checker plate panels on the floors of the footwells. Powered by a 2.25-liter Inline gasoline engine, this Land Rover has the looks to drive around town and the strength to drive off road. As you'd expect with any vintage Land Rover, this one has its spare tire mounted on the hood, with steel wheels all-round and traditional chunky tires. It has undergone a restoration and 2750km showing on the odometer. In the last few years, there has been a surge in popularity around vintage 4x4s, with a huge amount of attention focused on vehicles like the original Ford Bronco, the Toyota FJ40, the 2-door Range Rover Classic and the Series I/II/III Land Rovers. This trend shows no signs of slowing down and is widely believed to be the next sector of the vintage car market to see sustained gains in value. If you are looking for a classic Land Rover that runs and drives well, this is the one for you. Additional Details: 1973 LAND ROVER SERIES III -
