Land Rover Series 3 109 County Station Wagon
Here we have a rather nice Land Rover 109 Safari station wagon, being a 1982 model it is one of the last before the introduction of the 110 in 1983. It was owned by a retired Land Rover Mechanic from 2004 until 2015 and then transferred into his partners name who just over a year later and to find the 109 a new home as being in her 70s it was becoming very difficult to park. I have no reason to believe that the mileage is not correct as it was mainly used for the odd trip away and to be taken to the Land Rover shows, she has only covered around 3000 miles over the last ten years. It only has 4 previous owners two of whom were partners. The 109 may look scruffy on the outside but there is zero rust and no old repairs on the bulkhead, the chassis is amongst the best we have ever seen, we have a 1996 110 under restoration at the moment which has required extensive chassis repair, this 109 still has the original factory paint on the mid sections, it has had a few repairs but they look to have been carried out many years ago and to a very high standard as the structure is still solid.
Replacement military engine less then 1000 miles ago. Brakes have been serviced and have new wheel cylinder's and fluid changed. I have driven hundreds of Series Land Rovers, we still see them in our workshops, this one drives superbly, the engine is very smooth and quiet, the ride is actually very good, steering is surprisingly light and the brakes are very good. This 109 has the desirable Safari roof with vents and works wonderfully well at keeping the heat out, it's such a great yet simple idea.
There is the odd bit of trim missing but nothing that couldn't be replicated as there is enough there to go from. The gearbox is the original and changes gear perfectly as does the 4wd system. The keys are the original and all of the locks work correctly which is great. In summary it is a superb 109, great for days out, filling with bikes or taking green-laning , what's important is it's mechanically spot on and the structure is solid.
