Description
Land Rover 88 (short chassis) series III, first registered 14/ 03/ 1979. 2. 3L diesel engine. French collector's registration, 7 seats. Approved towbar. Mileage: 135, 300. Tropical roof. The roof can be removed, as can the sides and the top of the three doors, the windscreen can be lowered 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 drive, with a €3, 000 mechanical bill. The engine is in great shape, lively, consumes no oil and doesn't smoke, and the gearbox is very firm. The entire braking system has been (completely) overhauled and improved thanks to an electric power-assist pump, and the whole thing has a very good 'attack' for a late 70s model! The steering is smooth and light, and has also been completely revised. The car is easy to drive for everyone, and the new mixed tyres further improve roadholding. A sound chassis and package. The first family used the vehicle to harvest olives in Andalusia. Visible today in the Cher department at Foëçy 18500. Technical inspection OK on 27/ 11/ 24. Matching numbers (Full matching). The colour is difficult to appreciate in photos, it is the original Land Rover blue.
