Description
1972 Land Rover Series 3 88" petrol
First registered 22/ 08/ 1972 so one of the earlier Series 3's in production.
Era classics are proud to offer for sale another fully restored Series 3 from my trusted restorer who has extensively restored many Series Land Rovers over the past 15 years.
Full professional nut and bolt rebuild just completed and superbly finished in cool period correct Welsh grey on a Richards galvanised chassis. This beautiful Series 3 has undergone a full strip down and rebuild with lots of additional touches giving a really cool bespoke finish and style upgrades to this classic icon.
Overview of works completed:
New Richards galvanised chassis.
Repaired original bulkhead with all new footwells. Original bulkhead was in great condition with minimal minor welding required.
New rear tub floor and quarter panels and galvanised tub supports.
New panels including new old stock (NOS) front outer wings, galvanised doors and door tops and new anti-burst locks.
Original 3 bearing engine, fully rebuilt, unleaded head conversion and runs beautifully.
Restored and rebuilt 4 speed syncro gearbox.
Ashcroft transfer box upgrade giving taller gear ratios than a standard overdrive and makes the Land Rover much more versatile on todays roads. Low range is still the same.
All running gear axle parts/ seals and brakes etc are all new along with a servo brake upgrade.
New parabolic springs and new exhaust.
New electric system including new Auto Sparks loom with Alternator conversion all to original spec including hazard indicator upgrade and lighting.

Original steering wheel fully refurbished and covered in leather along with the dash board in tan leather to add to a more luxurious feel in the cab.
New all terrain tyres on fully restored Wolf 6J steel wheels finished in classic Limestone and AVG freewheeling hubs gives this Series 3 a really purposeful look.
Whole body taken back to bare metal and epoxy primed with 3 further coats of 2 pack Welsh grey paint to a lovely gloss finish. All panels painted individually before being fitted up and all dome rivets in correct aluminium and not painted over.
Top quality new Under Covers canvas hood in sand colour with side windows.
