Description

This 1980 Land Rover Series III 109” represents the perfect blend of classic Land Rover character with carefully considered modern usability. With approximately 65,000 miles recorded, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive recommissioning programme in 2014, transforming it into a highly capable and dependable classic suitable for regular use.

At the heart of the build is the installation of the robust and efficient 200TDI engine, paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission. This upgrade delivers significantly improved drivability, torque and economy over the original powerplant, while retaining the authentic mechanical feel that defines the Series driving experience.

A new galvanised chassis was fitted during the rebuild, ensuring long-term structural integrity. The mechanical overhaul extended across the braking system, axles, transmission and running gear, creating a vehicle that feels tight, sorted and confidence-inspiring on road or off it.

Externally, the bodywork was refurbished and refinished in the highly desirable Marine Blue, complemented by a Limestone roof - an iconic Land Rover colour combination that suits the Series III lines perfectly.

Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully appointed for comfort and practicality. High-back deluxe front seats in black provide improved support, joined by a central cubby box. The second row features “High-Low-High” seating, with side-facing rear bench seats completing a flexible interior layout that remains true to original specification while enhancing usability.

As a historic vehicle, it qualifies for historic registration and is ULEZ exempt, making it an ideal choice for city-based owners seeking a usable classic without modern compliance concerns.

In summary, this is a well-executed Series III 109” - visually authentic, mechanically upgraded where it matters, and ready to be enjoyed immediately. Whether destined for weekend adventures, countryside touring or as a characterful daily driver, it offers classic Land Rover charm with real-world dependability.
