Description
Land Rover 88 (short) series III, first registered 14/ 03/ 1979. 2. 3L diesel engine. French collector's registration, 7 seats. Approved towbar. Mileage: 135, 080. Tropical roof. The roof can be removed, as can the sides and the top of the three doors, the windscreen can be laid over the bonnet and you are in full convertible mode. This is the most sought-after Series III model, basic but very sturdy, a true all-round 4x4 with pure, functional looks. Freshly serviced, the vehicle is ready to go, with a €3, 000 mechanical bill last month. The engine is in great shape, lively and does not smoke, and the gearbox is very firm. The entire braking system has been (completely) overhauled and improved thanks to an electric brake assist pump, and the whole system has a very good 'attack' for a late 70s model! The steering is smooth, light and precise, and has also been completely revised. The car is easy to drive for everyone, and the new mixed tyres further improve roadholding. The first family used the vehicle to harvest olives in Andalusia. Today it can be seen in the Périgord Vert region, at La Coquille 24450. Technical inspection OK on 27/ 11/ 24.
