Land Rover Series 3 88" 1981 Rebuilt On a Galvanised Chassis
Sellers Comments - 12 months MOT Will Be Supplied with the Car .
Resprayedl and updated only 4 years ago, Completely Rebuilt,
This smart Series 3 has a very good specification and history - firstly it has only had three former keepers! Secondly, it has been rebuilt in recent years onto a new galvanised chassis. At this point, many upgrades were added .
OVERDRIVE - ideal for longer runs on larger roads
FREE WHEELING HUBS - reduces fuel consumption and wear to front axle components
ELECTRIC FAN - improves fuel economy (Kenlowe)
LPG - this has been professionally installed, and obviously transforms running costs. 60p a litre
Overdrive and FWH giving much better economy over standard fitments. This configuration, particularly with the strong galvanised chassis, would be ideal for anyone wanting to be seen in a classic Land Rover, yet wishes to use it as one would a more modern vehicle.
Interior has a neat cubby box for jack and tools and a useful stereo for longer journeys,
4 great off RD Tyres with only a few thousand miles use and a good spare on the bonnet where it should be,high and low range work perfectly as does the 4 speed gearbox with overdrive
inside you can easily switch from LPG to petrol without need to stop if underway,
On the outside, the vehicle sports both uprated headlamps, and large driving lamps. Although these extra lights are non standard, they give superb illumination, which is a real benefit, especially at this time of year. To the rear there is a towbar and electrics already fitted.
On the inside, the LPG tank is tucked neatly at the rear load area,leaving lots of room still for cargo, all tanks are encased in aluminium tread plate to protect and look cool with a viewing window to check levels, the system has gas fuel gauge in the cabin that also allows all fuel to be turned off should you wish to
Up front in the cabin are very good adjustable seats and a rubberised interior that's easy to keep clean
The LPG system has been recently checked and certificated, and the logbook reflects the fuelling system and engine upgrade, so the insurance requirements in terms of paperwork are already in place.
