This Land Rover Series III 88” is a venerable classic British 4x4, offered from long-term family ownership and enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.25-litre inline-four, which sends its power to all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example is believed to have been first registered in around August 1973, and has been in the seller’s family since August 1997. The odometer indicates 4,459 miles, though the seller notes that the true mileage is around 104,459 miles. However, this is not warranted. This Series III 88” is finished in an appealing shade of green with a contrasting gloss-white roof, over a brown vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a black dashboard, and beige carpeting. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels finished in gloss-white and fitted with Bridgestone Desert Dueler tyres. Equipment includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel carrier, rear mudflaps, sliding windows, Jaeger gauges, Britax lap belts, a high and low range gearbox, a rear bulkhead spare wheel, free-wheeling hubs, a synchromesh gearbox, and basic heater and ventilation controls. This example has been fitted with twin front fog lamps, a Pioneer cassette stereo with two rear speakers, interior carpets, and custom wooden toolboxes in the rear cabin. The car comes with a Land Rover Series III owner’s manual, a Land Rover Series III literature pack, an optional equipment booklet and Land Rover ‘Celebrating 50 years in Australia’ booklet, a Land Rover ‘Repair Operation Manual’ (loose leaf binder), and a Classic Land Rover magazine collection including issues No 25 – 113 (June 2015 – October 2021) in Land Rover Owner’s hard case binders. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in August 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. The seller notes that the vehicle is regularly serviced by the owner, who is an engineer. This Land Rover Series III 88” is an endearing and highly versatile classic British 4x4, offered from long-term ownership and enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Presented with an appealing colour scheme, iconic styling, and boasting celebrated all-terrain capabilities, it would make a characterful yet highly capable companion for weekend drives, off-road adventures, and classic car show visits alike.
