“The Land Rover Series III was introduced in 1971. The
Series III was the last generation of the original Land Rover built before the
model was rebranded as the Land
Rover Defender. The
Series III featured a raft of upgrades over its production, helping create
variants that were better equipped for passenger comfort, although the Land
Rover was still the incredibly capable off-road vehicle it had always been.”
This 1973 Land Rover 88 Series III is powered by a
2.25-liter inline-four linked with a four-speed manual transmission with
overdrive and a dual-range transfer case. The 2.25-liter inline-four was
factory rated at 70 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to
the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with
overdrive and a dual-range transfer case.
The car starts, runs and drives and transmission
shifts well through gears. Clutch is good.
The truck is finished in cream over black vinyl upholstery
and features 15″ steel wheels, manually locking front hubs, power-assisted
brakes, a hardtop, front and rear towing hitches, sliding side windows, and
rear jump seats.
It features a hardtop, a galvanized
front bumper, a steel rear bumper, a folding rear step, dual mirrors,
spare-tire mounts on the hood and cargo door, and front and rear towing
hitches. Bubbles in the paint as well as rust and other blemishes around the
body are shown in the pictures.
Rust is visible on the frame, underside and body. We do have a good extra frame which can includes in the sale
for extra price.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 95-mph speedometer
along with a combination gauge indicating coolant temperature and fuel level,
and an oil pressure gauge is installed to the right of the driver. The
five-digit odometer shows 87k miles.
The left-hand-drive cabin features three-across front seats
trimmed in black vinyl upholstery. Interior equipment includes bulkhead air
vents, a dashboard storage shelf, sliding side windows, and rear jump seats.
Corrosion and rust damage are noted on the floors and bulkhead.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels are mounted with 30×9.50″ Cooper Discover ATR
tires. The truck is equipped with manually locking front hubs, and stopping
power is provided by power-assisted drum brakes.
The car has clean and clear title.
