The Appeal
Land Rovers are effectively big Meccano kits. Armed with nothing more than a bag of spanners, the odd screwdriver and a big hammer, a keen enthusiast can do just about anything with one. Take this Series III for example...
Now sporting a 2.5-litre turbodiesel from a 1992 Land Rover Discovery, along with a matching five-speed manual gearbox and power steering, it's been transformed from a sedate B-road bumbler into a 70mph plus motorway muncher. Pretty impressive we're sure you'll agree.
As it's been sign-written by hand to promote the vendor's business, you may wish to repaint it and carry out a few of your own modifications, but otherwise this Land Rover is said to be ready to use.
Whether you're looking for a classic to enjoy on weekends or a distinctive marketing vehicle for your business, this modified Series III would be a great choice.
