A rare and immensely characterful Land Rover Series 3 109, this 2.6 litre V6 example presents as a wonderfully distinctive long-wheelbase classic with excellent presence, strong specification and a clear level of care and investment.

Finished to a very pleasing standard and refreshed in 2022 by the renowned John Brown Land Rover, this is not simply an honest old utility vehicle, but a well-sorted and highly appealing example of a rarely seen Series model. The 2.6 litre V6 cars are far less common than their four-cylinder counterparts, giving this 109 an added layer of desirability for collectors and enthusiasts seeking something a little different within the Land Rover world.

Showing 81,500 miles, this example is fitted with overdrive and benefits from a comprehensive list of recent works, all of which help underline just how well it has been maintained. Recent works include front and rear brakes overhauled, front bearings replaced, a new speedo cable, replacement indicator stalk, replacement flasher relay, rear crossmember replaced, minor welding completed and the chassis treated with anti-rust protection. The vehicle was also resprayed in orange and black, giving it a bold and highly individual look that suits the character of the car exceptionally well.

Further highlights include heavy-duty mats to the front and tub, two rear bench seats and a sand bikini hood, all adding to the usability and appeal of this rare Series 3. The overall result is a classic Land Rover with genuine charm, excellent visual impact and the sort of mechanical attention that makes it especially attractive to the next custodian.

For anyone looking for a rare and usable classic Land Rover with real personality, this Series 3 109 V6 represents a superb opportunity. It stands out not only for its condition and presentation, but also for its uncommon engine configuration and the quality of the work carried out in recent years.
