The 1979 Land Rover Series 3 we are presenting is a true jewel of automotive history, with a fascinating story behind it. This vehicle has been owned by Francisco, an old-school mechanic, renowned for his skill and passion for classic cars. For years, Francisco kept this Land Rover carefully protected in a warehouse in Jaén, Spain, an iconic place as the birthplace of the legendary Land Rover Santana Series 3.
The bodywork, now in perfect condition, is rust-free, thanks to the replacement of the wheel arches with new, original parts and the application of anti-gravel protection, which ensures a long life even in the most demanding conditions. The vehicle sports its original paint, accurately restored to reflect its classic elegance.
Inside, the seats have been completely renewed with original parts, while the dashboard has been reupholstered, recovering its factory appearance. The entire electrical system has been meticulously restored, with new wiring to ensure reliable and safe operation.
In terms of suspension and handling, new shock absorbers and a full set of new tyres, including the spare, have been fitted, ensuring off-road capability and on-road comfort. A new sand-coloured soft top has also been added, which perfectly matches the adventurous spirit of the vehicle.
This 1979 Land Rover Series 3 is not only a tribute to classic Land Rover Santana engineering, but also a unique piece that combines history, authenticity and functionality. Now restored to its full splendour, it is ready to write a new chapter in the hands of its next owner.
