1974 Land Rover Series I, II, IIA, and III 88

KEY FACTS This Land Rover Series III is a charming example of the iconic British 4x4, which has reportedly received extensive restoration work and some tasteful upgrades. Powered by a reportedly rebuilt 2.25-litre four-cylinder engine, driving all four wheels via a reportedly rebuilt four-speed manual transmission. It is reported to have been delivered to Australia, where it has remained since new. The odometer shows 445 km, which reflects the mileage since the refurbishment. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in Green over a Tan brown interior. The seller states that as part of the refurbishment, the car has a fully restored chassis, refurbished engine, driveline, and brakes, along with a refreshed interior. Equipment includes 16-inch steel wheels, three front seats, rear bench seats, and wood flooring for the load compartment. The seller states that as part of the restoration, the cooling system received significant attention, including a fully restored radiator, while the fuel and electrical systems have been comprehensively renewed with new fuel and electrical lines with a new petrol tank added. The seller also reports that braking performance has been substantially improved with new brakes throughout and the addition of a brake booster. Accompanied by two keys. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: The bodywork has received a full respray, and while restored, it retains some scrapes and dings, with original patina on all galvanised items. The seller states that the car was discovered a barn find and underwent an extensive, ground-up restoration commencing in September 2023. Over approximately 12 months, the Land Rover was stripped back to its original chassis and rebuilt by a Land Rover enthusiast, with the restoration completed in October 2024. The philosophy behind the restoration was a sympathetic example that sits somewhere between preservation and restoration. SUMMARY
