Land Rover Series 3

  

Looking for a piece of Land Rover motoring heritage? For sale - 109 LWB truck cab Land Rover Series 3. Ideal for a ready to use day to day runabout, with lots of load space for hauling stuff around, fun off roading (Series 3 Owners Club days out highly recommended) or as a sound base for a project with solid chassis and sound engine and. 2 and a quarter 4 cylinder petrol engine. Ex military In military camouflage, in places where the paint is chipped you can see blue paint, maybe this was a UN vehicle, possibly in Cyprus as sand was found on refurbishing the outriggers.

Refurbished by previous owner (retired Marine engineer) chassis overhaul with new back chassis and outriggers. New gearbox and clutch, diesel engine changed to petrol. Hotos are of his work. Dry stored in a barn the last 6 years, but as ever on Landys its the quality of chassis, gearbox, transmission that matters, and these are all sound.

MOTd May 2018, no advisories. Overall condition as youd expect for its age. A few dings and dents on the bodywork.

A few chips on the paintwork. Starts on the button every time. Its slow and steady, it is a Landy after all!

New aluminium strip truck space runners fitted. Inertia reel seat belts fitted for driver and passenger. Seat cushions are included for the central seat but no seat belt fitted, a lap static belt could be fitted. Engine not converted for unleaded so takes the classic car fuel additive.

Plastic runners fitted for door and rear cab sliding windows. Spare wheel mount fitted to rear of cab, so improving driver visibility. The previous owner fitted softer bushes to the springs, giving a gentler ride, I dont have the exact specification for these. Towing light socket fitted in rear locker by tailgate.

Dashboard controls reflect original engine was a diesel. Normally, to engage low ratio/4 wheel drive, you pull back the red Hi/lo transfer gear lever, the yellow 4 wheel drive lever drops and away you go. Doing this on this vehicle, after a few yards the yellow lever pops forward, dropping out of gear. The previous owner couldnt find the fault but we found that if the yellow lever is held down as the red lever is pulled back, then the vehicle will stay in 4 wheel. I have worked in mud and pulled cars out of snow drifts in 4WD with no problem.

I have a field where you can wet down a skid patch and test the 4WD. Fuel gauge does not work. I dip the tank (its the under-the-drivers-seat military sort) and keep a mileage/fuel record in the vehicle. The roof has a slight dent which a previous owner covered with an excessive amount of filler which I have partly removed see photograph. Viewing inspection welcome by arrangement. On and off road testing available. Call 07733300471 to arrange this.

New owner must undertake to continue her name of Millie reflecting military beginnings! TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE. COLLECTION ONLY FROM NEAR UTTOXETER, STAFFS/DERBY BORDER.
