The world-famous Land Rover was launched in 1948 and developed from a single offering to a family of long and short wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of engines. The Series III of 1971-1985 was the most numerous, with some 440,000 being produced. Outwardly it was almost identical to the IIA, but the gearbox now benefited from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic facia.
Chassis ‘LBAAH1AA152504’ was manufactured in 1982 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being road registered on the 5th of February that year. Fitted with the 2.25-litre petrol engine, the SWB Land Rover is finished in Marine Blue paintwork. Provided with significant improvement starting in 2022, the Series III was supplied with a new mild steel chassis, which was then fitted with overhauled axles, new parabolic springs for improved ride comfort, and new shocks, before the body was refitted back on the chassis in its pleasingly original patinated condition costing some £10,000.
Last year the interior was lavished with a refresh being supplied with new Exmoor deluxe front seats and two-man rear bench seats in Black vinyl fitted, along with a new Sand canvas hood that feature side windows. New colour coded Wolf rim wheels shod with BFG tyres have been supplied, as well as a swing-away rear wheel carrier. Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, the electrical equipment is rated as ‘very good’ and the engine and gearbox as ‘excellent’.
