1971 Land Rover® Series 3 *300tdi* (MKS) RESERVED SOLD

For sale, through John Brown 4x4 Ltd, Land Rover® Series 3 in Green (1971)

MOT until 13th October 2018 and MOT exempt thereafter. Tax Exempt.

High Spec - parabolic springs, stainless steel exhaust, 300tdi engine.

We are delighted to present for sale this striking Series 3, presented in popular soft top configuration. This is a much improved Series 3, having been fully refurbished in recent years, and upgraded with many desirable extras. We are informed by the previous that many recent new parts have been fitted - too long to list, but it gives a nod to the care and money that's been lavished on this truck.

The interior has been carpeted for a bit of much needed extra luxury, and is complimented with deluxe matting. A recent seat set completes the very smart set up. The rear is currently unfitted but it's tidy in there and houses a load mat - seats can be added if required for little extra expense.

Externally, this truck does stand out from the crowd - the black wheels and canvas look good - the larger 750 tyres also up the gearing so it goes better. There's lots of nice details - shallow bonnet, lamp guards, mudflaps, vintage plates, wing mounted mirrors.... which all helps to give a unique appearance. There's also a pair of aluminium door tops - a great addition, ensuring they won't rust in the future. The canvas is in great condition too!

There is also an interesting history associated with this truck - it's early.... 1971 Series 3, and in the early 300's for build date, which is a nice added piece of information.

The 300tdi engine is a real bonus, giving double the economy and far better reliability over standard.... it's been well thought out too, so parabolic springs have been fitted to make the ride match the drive. This one is running without turbo, which just limits the horse power being put through the gearbox - ensuring better longevity for that component..... and it shows - the gearchange is smooth and trouble free - it pulls really well and sounds good too, aided by that stainless exhaust.... it's a rugged truck, set up to work or play.

In summary, this is, in our opinion, a very well sorted, high spec truck benefitting from tax and MOT exemption. With popular soft top, we doubt it will stick around for long!
