Land Rover Series 3 Light Weight, Believed 1979, MOT OCT

  
Bought as part of a collection of vehicles, I need to pass this one on reluctantly having too many other commitments. Having stood for many years, it was simple to re-commission and is now ready to use (drive away) or improve further.

I got underneath it at MOT and has a rock solid chassis having been undersealed some time ago and floorpans replaced. Bulk head is also solid. Shows 20k miles which I understand could be a true reading as many ex-military were d-mobbed with low miles but this reading this cannot be verified.

Engine starts effortlessly every time and runs, revs and idles beautifully but does overrun occasionally when switched off, gear change, drive & brakes work as they should. Has a fuel tank switch for twin tanks but only one fitted. 3 new seats in front & rear bench seats, new canvas top. Comes with a fitted rollbar (easily removable) & rear spare wheel holder.

Hand painted coachwork is solid but needs work for a better look whoever did this also painted aluminium trims grille & bumpers? Wrong wheels fitted for a butch look, i was planning to revert to original for drive-ability & original look.

Tow bar & electrics fitted (not tested) currently on a Q plate, I understand that any Land Rover owners club can verify authenticity (all original chassis plates present & correct) if you wish to revert to a time related plate if Q plate bothers you. All in all a great little vehicle for summer fun or easy restoration. This vehicle is 35+ years old, it is in a used but usable condition. I have driven it locally and frequently without incident. Please do not expect a perfect specimen but a solid complete example. I welcome any inspection and hope that i have been honest enough in my description. Any inspection is welcome in London SW9.
