1972 Land Rover Series 3 109”. RHD. 2.25 petrol, 4spd transmission with optional overdrive. Pickup cab with 3/4 canvas top and seating for three in front bench seat. 44,558 original miles with extensive paperwork and vehicle history, including ownership records and English MOT’s dating back to 2003. Excellent bulkhead, frame and floorboard. Five new tyres, new brakes on period correct cream NATO wheels and with new “free wheeling” hubs to engage/disengage 4wd.
A candidate of a previous refurbishment, this 109” is a true survivor and a beautiful example. The exterior has been repainted throughout its life and it shows through in some spots. Overall, the paint still shines and presents well as part of the trucks patina. New galvanized trim all the way around with aluminum stone guards to protect front and rear lights. The waxed canvas bed topper is OEM and in excellent condition. It provides extra protection for your equipment from the elements while giving it a vintage charm. The rear tailgate opens and closes well with no damage and the interior bed features two stow-away tool cabinets.
This little truck is a joy to drive and gets a ton of attention wherever it goes. It notches into gear deliberately (like a well groomed tractor should) and runs like a sewing machine, whether cold or warm. Cruises at 50-55mph down the highway with overdrive engaged. With OD, has 16 total gears moving forward and 4 reverse (OD disengaged, OD engaged, high range, low range). Comes with original tool set including original hand crank so the truck can be started if battery or starter dies. It also has a PTO port in the rear (through rear bumper) to attach and run hydraulic equipment such as plows off the transfer case. Also comes equipped with the beefy heavy duty Salisbury rear end, similar strength to a Dana 60. These Series trucks were bred for farm work!
The interior has bench seating for 3. All lights, switches, fans, wipers, vents work as they should! The heater works remarkably well and blows very hot while the defrost functions as it should. New heavy duty 4 core radiator, water pump and thermostat. Comes fully serviced. 100% ready for duty. We can ship anywhere in North America.
