1984 Land Rover Series III 88” For Sale

The Appeal

Establishing a global reputation for ruggedness early on, Land Rover have always exported a great number of their vehicles and this left-hand drive Series III was destined for a life overseas.

Having lived in the dry and warm Italian climate, this 1984 example looks to have survived exceedingly well with very few signs of corrosion anywhere to be found. Recently acquired and treated to a very comprehensive service, this Land Rover is now ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
