Land Rover Series 3 SWB 1979 'Pamela'
I've been considering selling my Land
Rover Series 3 for a while now (I'm 18 and struggle to warrant paying the
insurance out on two cars when she just doesn't get used enough), and have
therefore decided to put her up for sale.
Pamela is a 1979 2.25L Petrol engined
SWB Series 3, in fairly tidy condition for her age the only two major issues
with her is the A pillars could do with being replaced (this would breath a new
lease of life into her, but I don't feel I could do this task justice - so will
leave it for the new owner) and the rear door inner frame needs to be replaced
or a new rear door fitted.
She has MOT until November and is
currently Taxed etc (on the road and in use - just not regular enough). Around
84,000 miles on the clock which is fairly accurate as far as I can see. The
previous owner had her for 11 years and put very few miles on her - I've have
the MOTs for their ownership but nothing beyond that point.
All four wheels will be cream before
the sale - and the spare wheel for the bonnet which I've had off recently is
also in good condition and cream. I have an aftermarket clamp which I used to
hold this in place - seems to do the job perfectly well. Also just waiting for
an electronic ignition kit to be sent and this will be fitted before the sale
is completed - fed up of messing about with points and a condenser!
Selectro freewheeling hubs and Fairey
Overdrive fitted, works perfectly well as far as I can notice.
Would need offers around £2750 to part
with her really, but I understand she still needs work to be perfect - however
this is a 36 year old Farm Utility vehicle though so do bear that in
mind.
