This Land Rover Series III 109” is a rugged and dependable modern classic utility vehicle, which benefits from significant mechanical maintenance over recent years. 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 has been with the seller for three years. The odometer indicates 14,702 Kms, though this is not warranted. This Series III 109” is finished in the eye-catching hue of Bahama Gold with a removable cab roof, over a body-coloured cabin, featuring a black dashboard, and brown vinyl upholstery. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels finished in gloss black, fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tyres. Equipment includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel carrier, a three-spoke steering wheel, a high and low range gearbox, Smiths gauges, and basic ventilation slats. This example has been fitted with a USB input, Pricol oil temperature, pressure and battery amperage gauges, black aluminium chequer plate on the upper front wings, aftermarket wing mirrors, and the rear ‘ute’ tray was replaced with a tub. The car comes with the roadworthiness certificate, the removable cab roof, a spare wheel, a tow bar, the registration transfer, and three years’ worth of maintenance invoices. The seller notes a previous minor incident, which consisted of the handbrake being left off causing the car to roll around 10 metres out of the driveway and into a tree. This resulted in the front bumper being replaced and a dent in the bonnet being removed. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the bonnet and tailgate have been professionally repainted, there is an age-related exterior patina with minor scuffs, dents and scratches around the car, faint blemishes on both side doors from previously installed decals, very minor surface rust on the bulkhead, and some vinyl is missing along the seam line of two seats. The cab retains its original patina with a white roof and Bahama gold Cab, and it is very straight with no dents. The two front and rear window guide channels do require replacement.
