1982 Land Rover Series III

OVERVIEW

This four-wheel-drive 1982 Land Rover Series III was built under license by the Spanish company Santana Motor and imported into the U.S. It received a minor cosmetic restoration and upgrades such as halo-style headlights, new Hella LED auxiliary lights, an LED light bar, an engine snorkel, and a secondary electric vacuum brake booster. New parts include the upgraded glow plugs, brakes, handbrake shoes, seals, and hydraulic clutch master cylinder. The 2.25-liter four-cylinder diesel engine was recently serviced and comes paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. Finished in ivory and equipped with a matching fiberglass roof over a black vinyl interior with rear jump seats, this Land Rover is available now and comes with the original bill of sale, documentation, original manuals, shop manuals, a parts catalog, a hand-start crank lever, other tools, uninstalled service items, and a clear Maryland title in the seller's name.

The reportedly rust-free ivory exterior was cosmetically restored and retains its original two-speed trio of windshield wipers and the factory-installed rear wiper and electric washer pump. Add-ons include halo-style headlights, new Hella LED auxiliary lights, an LED light bar, body armor, and an engine snorkel. The matching fiberglass roof features functional fresh air scoops and a single-tier roof rack with a rear-mounted ladder.
