Land Rover Series 3 Soft Top - 1978

Sellers Comments Selling my rag top classic Landy as I've currently got no time to enjoy it. Grab some cheap summer fun and a handy 4x4 rolled into one. My Landy starts, runs and drives really well. Usual dents, scrapes etc that you would expect on a Land Rover of this age. Fitted with new door tops and a reconditioned Webber carburettor. This is a very useable project vehicle and comes with a long MOT. The chassis is good but the bulkhead needs some work. i.e passenger side footwell and top corners. Top corner repair panels are supplied with the car. There is also a short truck cab style soft top supplied with the car which is brand new. Feel free to ask any questions. Don't expect a new car but a useable and fun project that is only increasing in value. Buyer collects from Warrington, Cheshire and should feel confident to drive this car back to anywhere in the uk. It's very reliable. Good luck and happy bidding.

1978 SERIES 3 SWB LAND ROVER PETROL

Sellers Comments Good chassis and bulkhead. New tyres. We have done a lot of work on the interior as is shown on photos. New road springs. New clutch master cylinder and radiator Good paint work. Good gearbox, no louder than you would expect. Overdrive and four wheel drive work as normal. Brakes good. Nearly new exhaust. The last owner, plus myself, have kept a full service history and record of all parts bought and fitted dating to 1999. Also been kept undercover. It has passed the last two M.O.T. tests with no advisories. This vehicle is tax exempt after Dec next year. I am reluctantly selling my Land Rover due to ill health.

1978 defender hybrid v8 challenge truck

Sellers Comments - This truck is a absolute monster if you want a truck that attracts attention and goes any where you point it this is the truck for you, spec is as follows Warn winch front and back 285/75/16 special track tyres like new Arb lockers front and back Full aluminium roll cage Qt correction arms Cranked trailing arms Has a Santana lt85 gearbox ( much stronger than lr gearbox) CB radio CD player Brand new dash console Challenge wings Mot until 22nd November Plus loads I probably can't remember This truck has had more money than I can imagine thrown at it in the past but I think I would really benefit from a fresh paint job as you can see in the pics and that's what I may end up doing if I don't get offered anything I like I'm in no particular rush to get rid as it really is good truck but due to it not being very practical I'm not really getting to use it much so I'm looking to get a defender now with more seats so I can go out more and take the kids with me, I reserve the right to end auction early as I have advertised truck else where happy bidding

Land Rover 88'' Series 3 1978

Series 3 1978 SWB petrol Land Rover.

Unfinished project, however doesn't need a lot doing to complete it.
Its been painted except for the tub .
Not a Galv Chassis however I do have one
Its very standard as you can see in the pictures,
Got the nice seats too, and have been refurbished.
Only thing it does require is a gear box but really easy to find for these old Land Rovers.
I do have a few spares for sale as I'm a bit of a Land Rover nut but this one needs to go for space.
If you do buy it you will need a trailer to take it away.
