Footnotes

The Series III Land Rover was the last Series Land Rover to be produced prior to the introduction of its successor, the 90 and 110 (later known as the Defender). This 1983 example is presented as a running and driving project vehicle.

Currently used as a farm vehicle, the exterior and interior are tatty and typical for a working Land Rover. The vendor has owned the car since April 2003 and there is some history included. Initial work that's required includes the need for new brakes and a new starter motor. It's also reported to be run on red diesel as a result of its use as a farm vehicle.
