For sale is my 1972 Series 3, 6-cylinder LWB Safari Station Wagon. This is the magnificent twelve-seater with the silky-smooth six-cylinder 2.6 Litre engine.
This vehicle has been the subject of a comprehensively nut-and-bolt rebuild over the past 8 years, retaining as much of the original wherever possible. I bought her in 2009 and originally planned to simply install a new chassis with a view to a trip to Morocco in 2011.
However I got a bit carried away, and in the 8 years since starting I have had rebuilt, repaired or replaced almost every component of the vehicle in a project that has undoubtedly cost far more than she is worth. She must be one of the very best very early Series 3 Safari Station Wagons now. Mechanically she is now in virtually as-new condition, following considerable expenditure.
The only components not rebuilt are the gearbox, the overdrive and the two diffs, as these were all inspected and found to be in good shape. She has officially been back on the road for two years now, although she has not covered 50 miles since first getting her MOTd in 2015. And there are still a few silly jobs outstanding some of the interior trim needs still needs to be installed; throttle linkage needs final adjustment; door catches need adjusting; a front hub has developed a small leak Since starting this project my job has exploded and taken over my life, so I have had to realise that Im unlikely to have the time to enjoy the fruit of all my hard work. I have agonised over this for the last twelve months but have sadly concluded that I should let her go. I have a huge stack of receipts and invoices well over an inch think documenting every penny spent on the project. The total bill runs to many, many thousands as this was built to keep. I have masses of photographs of progress through the years. The car is located near Eye in Suffolk.
