Seller's Notes

A versatile and characterful classic 4x4, this Land Rover Series III 109” is believed to have served in the Australian military at Duntroon Officers College, and benefits from a recent brake system overhaul. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.6-litre inline-six petrol engine, driving all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market model passed compliance in April 1977 and has been with the seller for three years. The odometer indicates 64,019 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1977 This Series III 109” was originally finished in military drab olive, but has since been repainted in a period shade of brown with a khaki canvas roof, over an olive-coloured cabin featuring black vinyl seat upholstery. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels finished in gloss-black and fitted with Goodyear Wrangler tyres. Equipment includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel carrier, Jaeger gauges, a high- and low-range gearbox, and basic ventilation flaps. This example has been fitted with updated seats, Exmoor Trim door card storage attachments, and an electric power steering unit sourced from Senorbarbo in Spain. A pair of new-old-stock side steps from the UK have also been fitted. The car is accompanied by one ignition key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: in 2023, the car was professionally hand-sanded and repainted by Land Rover specialists Jack Oliver Dobson in Brisbane. Inside, the dashboard is notably worn, and the seats have been replaced, but otherwise the interior retains much of its original finish and shows signs of age-related wear. The seller notes that the speedometer cable is currently disconnected, third gear may occasionally slip, the temperature gauge appears unreliable, and that the car is drivable but will still require work to be completed if it is to be restored. The last maintenance was in July 2025 at around an indicated 68,000 km, by Series Magic in Melbourne, which included a full brake system overhaul, including new rear brake shoes, all new brake slave cylinders, new rear brake drums, new left-hand front and rear wheel hub oil seals, all new brake hoses, new left- and right-hand side swivel housing oil seals, and a new handbrake shoe adjuster. This Land Rover Series III 109” is a compelling example of the marque’s military heritage, enhanced with a thoughtful respray and subtle upgrades. Fitted with electric power steering and tasteful interior revisions, it combines classic utility with improved usability. A practical and characterful 4x4, it would make a rewarding restoration project or a rugged weekend adventure vehicle for its next enthusiast owner.
