1977 LAND ROVER 88" - 4 CYL GREEN

This land rover is a 1977 series 3 88" special edition green canvas back. It has its original diesel engine. It has had minimal use in its time with a very low milage to show for it. It starts first time everytime regardless of how long it has been sat. This is a beautiful little 4×4 that is extremely reliable and will take you anywhere. It has a hand throttle along with the peddle and a handle start on the front (hole for which can be seen in photo) along with the key start. A hitch on the back, and one that has been put on the front (can be removed with ease). For the last few years it has been a vehicle for access up a rough private road which my car wouldn't be able to travel. Because of this it has not required an MOT. Mechanically it works sound though it has a few minor problems which may stop it getting an MOT, though these are small issues that are cheaply fixed. This would be a lovely project for anyone who admires old classics. It works wonderfully and wouldn't require much done to it mechanically. Only really needing the body work and interior restored. In January next year (2017) it will be 40 years old and therfore be tax exempt (meaning no road tax is needed to be paid for it). A sound and quality vehicle for anyone. Very reliable and very nice to drive. Spare tyre comes with it as can be seen in one of the photos. It will only gain value in time.
