This Land Rover Series III is a characterful classic British off-roader which has been treated to a cosmetic overhaul. It is powered by a 2.25-litre inline-four, driving all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the car was first sold by Faulls Pty Ltd Perth, Western Australia, and has remained in Western Australia since. The odometer indicates 55,673 kilometres, though this is not warranted. Build Year: 1973 This Series III is finished in Bronze Green complete with a tan-coloured soft top with roll-down sides. The cabin is home to three black vinyl-trimmed front seats and a wood-lined loading area. It rides on a set of black 16-inch steel wheels, fitted with Goodyear Wrangler tyres. Equipment includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel, a drop-down tailgate, and sliding front windows. One key accompanies the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the vehicle has been resprayed, retrimmed, and fitted with new doors and a refurbished dashboard over a three-year period, with the seller noting that every effort was made to preserve and restore its originality, creating a factory-standard vehicle with tasteful, reversible upgrades. No body filler has been used. The car retains its original chassis and bulkhead, which were carefully stripped to bare metal and repainted. It has been reimagined in deep Bronze Green, a period-correct hue that enhances its classic appeal. The body cappings have been overcoated in satin black zinc for durability refinement, paired with a close-fitting satin black Defender front bumper. The original tray-back configuration has been replaced with an authentic well body, complemented by a new Exmoor Trim canvas hood, offering the ideal balance of utility and aesthetics. The well body features a wooden interior, utilising original mounting points for authenticity. Works to the engine included a full gasket set, repainted in period-correct light blue, with an overhauled ignition system, and a reliable Weber carburettor. The gearbox was also overhauled as well as the transfer case and both differentials were rebuilt and sealed. During the restoration the brake drums, linings, cylinders, hoses and pipes were overhauled, along with the suspension shock absorbers, spring bushes, steering damper, and refurbished steering arms, all finished in satin black zinc. There is a valid Western Australia registration in place, which expires in March 2026. The car was last serviced in January 2025 by the seller, who replaced the engine fluids. This Land Rover Series III is a capable and dependable classic 4x4, specified in long-wheelbase 109-inch configuration and fitted with a soft-top with fold-down sides for an open-air driving experience. Having been treated to a cosmetic overhaul and freshly serviced in readiness for its sale, it is now ready to tackle a host of new adventures at the hands of its next enthusiast owner whether put to use on or off the beaten path.
