Reluctantly for sale is my beloved Series lll Land Rover affectionately known as'Malcolm'. I have owned this vehicle for 4 years and when I got him he was in a sorry old state. He has been fully restored (except an engine and gearbox rebuild) which included the following. Galvanised chassis from Richards Chassis. Tub cappings and other steelwork regalvanised (including windscreen frame).

New 7 pin trailer electrics. New driver and passenger door. New vinyl covers on the rear seat swabs. Foam padding in the rear seat backs.

New seat box sides and tool box. New swivel balls and housing on the steering. New Avon Rangemaster tyres and inner tubes on the main wheels. New floor panels in the front. Steering box refurbished with new bearings. New track rods and ends. New wheel bearings all round. He boasts the refinements of a 2 speed heater/demister (that actually works), interior courtesy light, hazard warning lights, reverse lamp and rear fog lights. I have repaired and recovered the door cards and cleaned the original roof lining. He has an overdrive that works perfectly and free wheeling hubs.

He has a height adjustable tow ball. There is a folder containing a lot of previous MOT's, all the receipts, history of ownership from the DVLA etc.

On completion of all the works I went on holiday to Stranraer in Scotland with him and completed a 598 mile round trip with not a single problem. He has also been used as a wedding car, he looked great and everyone enjoyed him. I often use him for a trip out here and there and to work. He starts first time, even after being stood for a while. According to the history, the engine was replaced in 1996 from petrol to diesel and he is showing 111776km (69455 miles) on the clock, I can't guarantee they are original to that engine though.

My guess is they are original to the vehicle over both engines based on the information from the DVLA. Time wasters or tyre kickers will be reported and blocked. I have now advertised it elsewhere and reserve the right to end it early. Make me an offer as when it's gone, it's gone. The grille badges are included in the sale, as is a brand new radiator muff.

There is a wheel wrench in the tool box and a bottle jack that will stay with the vehicle. When doing the re-wire, the only addition I made outside of factory specs was the installation of a 12v socket for charging phones/Satnavs etc with its own fuse. I will do a service, to include oil and filter changes (both engine and gearbox oil) prior to the sale ending.
