1980 - Land Rover Series 3 - 109 200tdi - Located Louth


Very difficult sale for me however its just not used for anything anymore
 and its a shame, so has to go!

The Good Bits.

200tdi discovery engine 
Good Chassis
Parabolic springs
Nice working Fairey Overdrive
Aluminum core radiator
Bucket seats
Custom built rock sliders (to a very high standard)
Roll bar
Sound proofed and carpets 
Snorkel
Winch bumper 
New Wheels and Tyre's + Spare
30mm Wheel spacers
Salisbury rear axle
Bolt on wheel arches 
Light bar
Adjustable tow hitch
Steering Guard
Mot until December 16th 
Will include brand new un-glazed door tops with decent second hand doors.

The Niggly Bits

Fuel gauge works sometimes
speedo has never worked since ive had it so i couldn't tell you an accurate mileage if i tried
Passenger seat isnt bolted down due to fuel tank being underneath and never coming up with a decent way to bolt the seat down and still get to the fuel cap
The seats are great for the narrower chap, but others may find them uncomfortable

The Bad Bit

The passenger side foot well has gone a bit rusty with a small hole.
The military in its blood is trying to fight with its cow exterior resulting in some sort of cow-camo, this is really annoying when pressure washing as the paint flakes get everywhere.


This Land rover has seen off road a couple times in my ownership and im sure plenty more times in its life, its got scratch's and dents and a rubbish paint job, but i love it.

Located Louth Lincolnshire

Land Rover Series 3 - 1980

Sellers Comments - I've done a lot to this in the eight years I've owned it - a rolling restoration. From memory and from receipts the main things I've done are: New half chassis professionally fitted New brake pipes, brake shoes, New wheel bearings Professionally reconditioned the diesel injection pump New tyres New rear parabolic springs New spring dampers New battery This starts, runs and drives well. It's not the usual bag of bits you will see for sale. This is ready to go to a good home. It really does look the business. Remember this is 36 years old so don't expect to be driving a Range Rover Sport - if you want one of those you know what to do. So please no time wasters - if you want to have a look before you bid then send message.

Land Rover Series 3 - Lightweight - 1980

Made in 1980 but not registered by the MOD until 1983.

Please understand this is not a modern 4wd, this is a no nonsense truck with not a hint of carpet in sight. Hose out chequer plate floor and vinyl seats. Built tough to last. No welding or rust on chassis or footwells.

Land Rover 1980 Pickup

This Land Rover is in a yard I purchased along with various other cars and trucks. I have researched its history and found it was exported then returned to the UK in around 2011 ,At this time it was converted to a V8. The truck runs and is very sweet on the engine , it has a brake binding problem which obviously affects performance, other than that it seems to be solid and clean. The TAX disc in the window proves it was on the road 07/2014 so cant be in to bad a shape. It will need an MOT and comes with V5 .

Land Rover 1980, SWB ( 88'') Diesel, Series 3, Very good cond. MOT april 2016

It is a 35 year old diesel (5 years to go for free tax) and as far as I can tell it is the original Perkins engine.

comparatively rare.  This vehicle is in good condition for age bodywork is very straight. (see Land Rover Owner International, Dec' 2013 issue - "buying a Series 3", which uses this type as an example).
The MOT runs until April 2016.
The chassis has had a lot of work carried out on it prior to my purchase and looks very good and is complete with new, shocks, rear cross member and also has a tow hook.  Any steel to aluminium contact has been gasketed to prevent metal on metal reaction.  The bulkhead has been fully repaired, as have the seat boxes and foot wells.  The brakes have been replaced when the chassis work was done.  It has also had new lights.
I have replaced the driver's door complete and the passenger door top for new including glazing, which enhances the integrity. Forward gears work fine in two wheel drive, four wheel drive high and low ratio.  The previous owner tells me there is also a new clutch fitted but I haven't attempted to verify that.  It starts as it should and does not run smokey.
As with any old Landy, there are a few 'isms!. 
Ring 07968774459
The not so small print:
Viewing is welcomed in the pe6 peterborough area  A 10% deposit will be payable and due immediately on auction end via PayPal or bank transfer, with the remainder as cash on collection  The vehicle will not be released without full cleared funds.  No tyre kickers or haggling after the event, you bid to buy.

1980 LAND ROVER 88" - 4 CYL Series IIa no reserve! - Location Swanage - Petrol - Owned for the last ten years





FOR SALE: Land Rover 88" series 2a, first registered 08/01/1980.

I've owned her for about ten years; I had a house in the South of France that I originally used as a main home and then used as a second home. I'd always wanted a Series IIa and found this one; we bought her and drove her down to the South of France with family on board, family dog and towing a trailer. She stayed at our house in France, and once we moved back to the UK, was used as a runabout whilst we were staying in France on holidays.

She's always run well and anyone who's looking at these knows how desirable they are. This is a lovely example, unmolested, not modified with big wheels/high lift etc and is ideal for either restoration, work and use as she is (a good honest workhorse) or even turning into a fully-fledged off roader for green laning etc. She drives beautifully and always has done.

It's currently on SORN and also doesn't have an active MOT; my daily is a Discovery 3 and so I've not got back round to putting the old girl back on the road. Obviously any inspection or appointment is more than welcome; I live in Swanage (BH19) and if you would like to come and see her, please let me know in advance and we can sort something out.

These are really versatile; it's got bench seats in the back (great for kids) and the top unbolts (these are all modular etc so it's all interchangeable) - great for summers!
She's also got the freewheeling hubs so great basis for off roading. She's also got an overdrive fitted so cruises nicely on the motorway.

As she's spent the last ten years in the South of France, she's in good order - remarkably little rust apart from surface rust, and been well looked after. What she needs now is some TLC but she's a good, solid, honest vehicle who needs to be taken on and restored back to everyday order.

I've also fitted a new battery to her and she turns over fine but hasn't caught. I've not had time to get her going and points etc probably need looking at and replacing, but these really are indestructible vehicles and will be a lovely little project for someone. Mileage - I've not listed as with a car this age, who knows exactly what it is, it's had a replacement instrument cluster at one time so she needs looking at and appreciating.

Unfortunately, I can't devote the time and attention she needs to getting up and running but she really is all there and together. Once MOT'd and taxed, it'll be a fantastic car for someone and I genuinely will be saddened to see her go.

The car is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction early; any questions, please message me here or contact me directly.
She will need trailering away as there is no MOT etc currently.

Cash on collection please or bank transfer - keys and V5 release upon cleared funds!

Thanks for your interest.
