1976 Land Rover Series 3 Lightweight - V8 Project For Sale

I am reluctantly selling my modified Land Rover lightweight due to time constraints. This is a running project car, which just needs some mechanical, structural and cosmetic work to get it on the road.

This Land Rover is fitted with the 3. 5l Rover V8, mated to a standard Series 3 gearbox. All running gear seems to be in good working order with a smooth, tight engine which pulls well. There is currently no fuel tank fitted to the vehicle, but can run providing the fuel feed pipe is poked into a can.

Other modifications include: Salisbury rear axle, Range Rover steering column with working power steering system, custom front bumper and a kenlowe fan.

A truck cab is available which I am selling separately, but can come with the vehicle providing it is bought for the full asking price.

The chassis does need some work, or replacement. It has been previously modified to increase the ride height and make a slight change in the wheelbase, and there is extensive corrosion in various places. However, new chassis for the lightweight are available to buy, or it can be repaired by someone who has the time and skill available. The bulkhead has also been modified to make way for the V8 exhaust system, and just needs finishing off along with some corrosion repairs.

This will be an easy project for someone who has the time, and would make for a fun and unique vehicle once complete.

Please note: The wheels pictured will not come with the vehicle. A set of Land Rover Discovery 16" steel wheels have now been fitted.

More pictures are available on request, £1995 or near offer.
