1983 Land Rover Series III 88 Truck Cab For Sale
1983 | Y Registered | 2. 25 Petrol | 4 Speed Manual | Deep Bronze Green with New Khaki Hood | Excellent Chassis
Specification:
1983 ‘Truck Cab’ pickup model on original chassis. 2. 25l 4cyl petrol engine with Zenith carb, coupled to a 4spd manual transmission. 5 x LWB steel wheels in Limestone with 7. 50 x 16 radial Michelin road tyres. Rear reverse and fog light. Brand new ‘Deluxe’ black and green vinyl seats up front. Front and rear rubber mats. Brand new Undercover Covers 3/ 4 Khaki hood. Comes fully serviced, ready for summer.
Description:
The Series III was launched in 1971, and didn’t change a great deal from the Series IIA that preceded it. It is still the type of classic Land Rover that features strongly in the general public's perception of the Land Rover, and its shape was carried right through from the Series II to the most recent Defender, which only this year has ceased production after its long 67 year life span. Upgrades from the Series IIA included a full synchromesh gearbox, new dashboard with integral heater and instrument cluster and radiator grille.
This superb example is a short wheel base ‘Truck Cab’ pickup, first registered on 21st April 1983. The silky smooth ‘two and a quatre’ petrol engine starts readily, settling into a quiet tick over, and pulls very well cruising at 50-55mph happily thanks to its larger radial tyres. All the gears select perfectly and the low range and four wheel drive select as they should. The servo assisted, twin leading shoe brakes are also nice and strong, bringing the vehicle up to a stop nice and straight. On road, the vehicle is willing and well behaved, and considering it has tall, skinny road tyres it would do very well off it too (even better if you wanted to change to a more off highway orientated tread).
The vehicle has recently been stripped down for full refurbishment, with many parts replaced for new. The chassis is original, and has had replacement new outriggers and rear crossmember carried out to an excellent standard, making for a very strong sturdy frame. After the repairs, the chassis was repainted with primer and two coats of chassis black, plus an internal and external cavity wax, making corrosion a thing of the past. The bulkhead is also believed to be original, and is in equally excellent shape. All suspension bushes were replaced, along with the axles being refurbished and painted – the front axle has the more modern one shot grease installed in the swivel housings. The body work is straight, with some minor dents/ ripples left in the panel work before being resprayed, to keep some of the history and authenticity of the vehicle. The Deep Bronze Green and limestone paintwork is good, but not to concours standard (a good thing if you want to use the vehicle rather than mollycoddle it), and the new rear canvas tilt finishes it off.
The interior is in good condition; with three brand new black and green vinyl ‘Deluxe’ front seats (not shown in current photos) and a very good dashboard. There are two, three point seats belts, and some light sound deadening carpet on the firewall. All the electrical items and gauges work as they should, with a working heater to keep things toasty in the colder weather.
This lovely authentic classic Land Rover would make a great investment, whilst at the same time can be used and enjoyed. These vehicles are so versatile that you can almost use them for anything, at any time of the year… from taking three people to the local pub on a summers evening, to clearing out the garden, stables or smallholding in the winter months.
The odometer reads 7, 241 at present (we cannot verify this to be genuine or not), and the vehicle is MoT’d until 17th May 2018 with no advisories. If you are interested in this vehicle, please do get in touch – we’d be happy to help! If you prefer a full canvas hood, or hard top roof options, we can convert it over for you to suit your preferences as well as any other extra changes you might like.
Conditions:
We have described the vehicle as accurately as we can, but please take your time looking through the photos. Viewing is most welcome, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
