Description
Land rover series III, 2 litre, SWB registered February 1973. Cream colour that DVLA insists is green as the paint is Limestone
One previous owner (my mother) therefore been in the family since new.
Reason for sale: now rarely used and needs to go to a good home.
Brilliant registration plate for a Land Rover, chosen at sale from a list (as we waited so long for her delivery) MYL 28L
Sales receipt from 1973 and Owner's Manual
Original engine
Galvanised chassis
4 good tyres plus spare
Petrol tank, exhaust and Radiator renewed 2023
Rear floor replaced, aluminium about 10 years ago
Clutch and gearbox replaced about 10 years ago, bulkhead about 25.
Original body work and tow bar
MOT exempt and on the road, advert insisted on a date so disregard. So much fun to drive but not used enough to justify keeping her
Insurance cheap, about 150 pa.
She's 52 years old and needs work done as you can see from the photographs. In addition the heater no longer works and following clutch/gearbox replacement she doesn't engage in low ratio.
I am aiming to be transparent about her weaknesses, however she is the genuine article and rare to find one that hasn't had numerous owners and/or adaptations.
I would like to think she could go to somebody who has a genuine interest in restoring her.
I have been driving her for all of the 52 years and am reluctant to let her go. Please do not come to view to make a derisory offer, I am in no rush to sell, so serious buyers only please.
