OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

What remaining a clear favorite among many off-road enthusiasts to this day, the charming Series I was first released by Land Rover in 1948 and remained in continuous production for nearly 40 years. Taking inspiration from the robust World War II era Jeeps, Land Rover would offer a sturdy box-welded frame and crucial to the longevity of these machines, non-rusting aluminum alloy bodies. This dependability would be put to the test as Series model Land Rovers faithfully served its customers in many different civilian and military applications. Implementing small exterior changes, the Series III was released in 1971 and was the final iteration of this iconic off-road vehicle.

Powered by a 2.25-liter inline four-cylinder engine, the Series III would offer many performance upgrades which provide a smoother driving experience like full synchromesh on all gears and increased compression. Equipped with a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this Land Rover features four-wheel drive high-low range. Additional features include upgraded Wolf-style aluminum wheels with BF Goodrich All-terrain tires and a hood mounted spare-tire.

Finished in Pastel Green, this Series III 88 comes with a front bench seat trimmed in black leather upholstery and cloth trim for the two side-facing rear bench seats. A convertible soft-top with roll-up side curtain windows allows for open-air enjoyment for up to seven passengers. Showing some signs of typical use over the years, this Land Rover is offered with an appropriate level of patina which allows for the next owner to use this vehicle as it was intended.
