The Series III Land Rover was introduced in 1971 and ran until it was replaced by the coil-sprung 90 in 1985 by which time over 440,000 had been produced. As testament to the genius of the original concept, the millionth Land Rover rolled off the production line in 1976.
In truth the S3 was little altered from the Series IIA, featuring a new plastic grille, full synchromesh gearbox and from 1980 a 5-bearing crankshaft. The headlights were mounted on the outside of the wings, a carry-over from the late series IIA models, and the tough plastic dashboard was moved in front of the driver.
This 1976 88” hard-top has been owned by the vendor’s family since 1980. We are informed that it will have a fresh MOT by the time of the sale and it is being offered at no reserve.
AMENDMENT: Bidders are advised that the registration number is MYK 180P and not NYK180P as catalogued. The vendor has also advised us that he has not had the time to present the car for an MOT so it will not have one by the time of sale as catalogued above.
