The Land Rover Defender is an off-road vehicle produced under this name by the British manufacturer, Land Rover, since 1991. However, the vehicle is the direct heir of the first Land Rover that made its debut in 1948. The first prototype was built by the British automaker in 1947 and it was designed for the army. This iconic car was improved over the years and it has been known for generations as a national treasure.

1976 Land Rover 88" Safari Great project Vehicle
Sellers Comments A rare opportunity to own a genuine Land Rover 1976 88" Safari. This Land Rover is full of character. Purchased over 11 years ago as part of a package deal it hasn't done anything since although, with a booster pack it fires into life and trundles along just fine. A genuine vehicle which has been unmolested over the years with only a few mods to the dash to incorporate radio and some electric upgrades. A valuable base for a project vehicle for restoration. The pictures tell all. Expected grazes here and there but all intact, no major damage and drove 2 miles to its current location last weekend. If you are looking for a project then this is a peach. Please come and view. Selling on behalf of a friend.

BARN FIND - 1976 LAND ROVER 88" - 4 CYL
Here we have a barn find 1976 Land Rover 2 and a quarter petrol for sale. As you can see from the pictures it is in need of some work and tlc. The previous owner purchased the car as a project in October 2000 and put it at the back of his garage and left it there. The engine was apparently running last year and rolled backwards and forwards to keep the brakes free. It did roll off the trailer when we recovered it here. The brake master cylinder is not fitted as it is in the back of the vehicle, there is also a couple of spare exhaust parts. As you can see from the pictures, the rear cross member is corroded, but these can be replaced easy enough. The interior floor seems solid enough as it has had welding on the floor done. The chequer plating is in a good condition as is the wheels, the tyres all have good treads on them. The roof has been converted to a soft top at some time in its life but do not know when. This will make an ideal Land Rover if someone is willing to give it the love it needs.

1976 LAND ROVER 88" Series 3 Project Classic Diesel
1976 LAND ROVER 88" Series 3 Project Classic Diesel Petrol
1976 Series 3 88 SWB Diesel Land Rover. THIS IS A PROJECT!
I bought this before Easter with the intention of spending
the next 12 months gradually rebuilding it.
I then went on holiday, unexpectedly found a property that we want to
buy and work on, and I have to accept that I will not be able to complete this
in the time that I have, hence the sale.
It is not a willing sale but my wife (as usual!) is correct in saying I
cannot do both.
Details:
This is a sound little project for the right person. It is
already partly stripped (it would not take that long to have it down to a
rolling chassis) and comes with many of the parts needed to complete.
While the chassis does need a few patches (see pics) it is
certainly not a basket case and is pretty solid. The bulkhead is also quite salvageable. The seat box is a replacement from an ex-MoD
FFR vehicle, and I also have a pair of wings from an FFR to go with it.
The Landy come with TWO engines. An original diesel unit, and an ex-MoD 8:1
compression 2.25 petrol (engine number confirms this) which being painted blue
suggests it has been reconditioned in MoD workshop in the past. Neither is in the vehicle and so you have the
choice which to put back in. Personally
I would have gone for the petrol which turns over nicely by hand, but your
call, obviously!
The gearbox is fitted, the brakes seem to work, and the
vehicle has Superwinch free-wheeling hubs fitted as a bonus. There is a spare (non-Lux) bonnet and a spare
windscreen as well.
The tyres hold pressure although personally I would replace
them before an MoT (fine to have the vehicle on while restoring!).
The rear tub is a little rough around the edges but could
certainly be sorted out. The rear
crossmember has a couple of dings in it but once again it fundamentally solid.
In essence, this is a great blank canvas. My plan was to rebuild it as a petrol truck
cab (I thought in Masai Red!) but that dream will have to wait for another
time.
The Landy will need to be collected and I also suggest that
a crane or "heavy mob" might be useful for shifting the engines. I am afraid that I have neither the car nor
trailer to move this myself so cannot deliver.
The price is only what I paid for it, and I think I got a
very good deal! Series 3 values are on
the rise and this would be a great investment.
Please do come and look for yourself to check this is the right project
for you, but if you know your Land Rovers and have read this far, you probably
know already!
Please ask any questions you have and I will do what I can
to answer. The V5 will be in my name
(currently being process by DVLA) but I do have the new keeper supplement. I am happy to take a deposit (returnable) if
you want to wait for the V5 before collection, or it can be sent on.
Cash on collection preferred, please.
