A superbly presented and unmistakably characterful Land Rover Series III 88-inch, this 1983 example offers all the charm of a traditional short-wheelbase Land Rover with the benefit of a thoughtful refurbishment and a wonderfully eye-catching specification.

Refreshed in 2022 by the renowned John Brown 4x4, this example has been restored and enhanced with real care, resulting in a classic Land Rover that feels both usable and highly collectible. Finished in striking yellow with contrasting black wheel arch detailing, a new black canvas hood, front spot lamps and Stromer wheels and tyres, it has a fantastic stance and exactly the sort of presence that makes these early utility Land Rovers so appealing.

Beyond the visual impact, this example also benefits from a well-documented history. The rear seating and rear cab were reupholstered in 2022, a new clutch slave cylinder was fitted in 2023, and the vehicle is described as having an extensive service history. An engine fitted in 2006 further adds to its practical appeal, making this a classic Land Rover that appears to have been maintained and improved with long-term enjoyment in mind.

Showing approximately 97,500 miles, this is not simply an honest old Series truck, but a properly sorted and highly distinctive example that stands out from the crowd. It retains the timeless simplicity and rugged charm that define the model, while the restoration and refurbishment work give it a much smarter, more individual edge than many others on the market.

For anyone seeking a stylish, usable and genuinely head-turning classic Land Rover, this beautifully presented 88-inch Series III represents a superb opportunity.
