Land Rover Series 3 III 88" Genuine Station Wagon, Diesel

Sellers Comments -
This is a very rare beast and I really love the way it looks and drives.
Only 751 88" Home Market 921 chassis number Station Wagons were built between 1971 and 1975.
They were a lot more expensive than a standard Hardtop hence few were sold.
Chassis number 92100697A with original chassis plate on bulkhead.
GRD 609N was registered in the Royal County of Berkshire on the 2nd January 1975.
Only 3 previous owners.
Original raised letter number plates!
Station wagons had the Tropical roof with roof vents, full headlining, 4 seats in the back and of course sliding windows in the side panels with some sound proofing in the front to provide a slightly more luxurious ride!
Finished in Marine blue with a Limestone roof.
V5 document present and correct
Tax exempt.
New MOT until Dec 3rd 2018
The chassis is in very good order and needs no work.
The bulkhead is also very good and solid with older repairs to the footwells.
This Land Rover has never been restored so all the door shuts are great and the bodywork is very straight.
I do not believe it has been painted and therefore has a wonderful patina that only age can aquire!
In 1994/5 it was fitted with a Land Rover 19J turbo diesel engine that had been rebuilt specifically to put in this vehicle with receipts to prove.
It all looks totally original and has been done to a very high standard
The mileage at Feb 1995 was 37500 miles and it now stands at 45700 miles which I believe could be genuine but do not have enough proof.
It drives very well with a good turn of speed and excellent gearbox.
Free wheeling front hubs fitted.
Fitted with Compomotive alloy wheels which were a period option.
Such a useful Land Rover for logging/dogs and kids etc!!
Ready to use and enjoy.
These Series 3 Land Rovers are really starting to increase in value especially the rare variants.
