Inspired by the US Army's wartime 'Jeep', developed in haste and intended for short-term, small-scale production, the Land Rover would defy its creators' initial scepticism, and in the course of more than 60 years in production this supremely versatile vehicle would prove itself adaptable to innumerable civilian and military roles. A Series III model on the 88" wheelbase, this 6/7-seater Land Rover Station Wagon was purchased by the vendor in 2016. The Series III had been introduced in 1971 and would prove to be one of the longest-lived models. Mechanical changes were relatively few, the major improvements being an all-synchromesh gearbox and a bigger clutch, the most obvious departure from the preceding IIA being an extensively revised and up-rated interior. The vehicle was in a partially restored state when purchased with necessary body work and paint completed, and we are advised by the vendor that the subsequent mechanical and electrical work was duly completed by a well-known Aston Martin specialist. The vendor rates the engine as excellent for starting and running, and describes the running gear as in very good condition throughout, while the black vinyl interior is believed to be mostly original. Finished in pale green with cream roof and matching wheels, this well presented 'Landie' is offered with a V5C document. The history file includes a Heritage Certificate and details of significant sums spent by the vendor to bring the vehicle up to its current standard.
