*An honest and rugged vehicle with great character
*Recent galvanised chassis with good bodywork and recent new interior
*Fitted with excellent dropside body and very rare winch
This 1983 Series 3 109" chassis cab pickup is believed to have been restored in the late 1990s when it received a galvanised chassis and the nicely constructed wooden drop side bed. Its diesel engine is of course very economical and it starts easily in all weathers. It is fitted with the very rare genuine Land Rover hydraulic winch - said to have cost as much as the base vehicle from Land Rover when new. This is one of very few working MK 2 winches known to survive. In keeping with its rugged background, it is fitted with a set of ex army wheels and very good Goodyear G8 tyres. There is a newly fitted interior with three seats, in the superior deluxe trim. The body is in generally in good order and the door frame bottoms were refurbished this year. The drop sides of the attractive wooden rear body may be removed in moments to give a useful flat bed arrangement.
The mileage is believed to be correct but there are no records and the truck was built at a time before Land Rovers became collector items. The Land Rover benefits from mainly original factory paint and the original stickers in the engine bay seem to be original and untouched. Refreshing in its workaday honesty, this Land Rover is said by the owner to be a faithful friend with more patina than a rusty shovel! It passed its last MOT in June 2018 and has seen almost no use since.
