Sellers Comments
For sale by no reserve auction is an Ex Fire Brigade Series
3 2.6 6 cylinder Land Rover.
This Land Rover is in very original condition. It is also
very solid and non rusty for the age. I suspect it spent a good deal of its
life stored inside.
I will describe to the best of my ability but this is my
opinion so please make your own mind up before bidding.
Good bits
Ex West Sussex Fire Brigade – see old photo.
Very solid for age
Very original.
Would have been red as per the old photo but painted blue at
some point since it Fire Brigade days.
6 Cylinder has the bigger front brakes.
Bodywork is fairly straight apart from the front outer wing
skins.
Fire brigade parts still in place – switch panel, charging
socket, door pockets etc.
Galvanised roof rack.
MOT certs from Nov 2005- Jan 2014.
Various receipts for previous works/parts.
Previous owner stated the gearbox and clutch was replaced
recently.
Seats have been changed out for later type high back ones
and have covers.
Bench seat in rear
Halogen head lights.
Brand New Carburettor installed.
Chassis number on the chassis and bulkhead.
Bad Bits
Clutch needs bleeding/fixing and is not working.
Blue paint lifting back to the previous Fire Brigade red.
Ignition switch is intermittent and needs looking at. Cuts
out electrics when driving.
There is a water leak on the engine when running - see
photo. I suspect the water pump is the issue.
There is an engine tap on running.
The battery in the pictures will be removed prior to sale.
The exhaust and manifold will be removed as I borrowed it
from another vehicle to check the running. I will include the original
manifold. It is solid but damaged around 1 of the 3 studs.
Wheels and tyres not the best.
This has been a well looked after Land Rover that has not
been messed around with and is very original. It is also generally very solid
both in the chassis and bulkhead.
The vehicle will need to be trailed away within 7 days of
the auction completing.
Cash on collection.
