An exceptionally well-preserved late-production Land Rover Series III 88”, benefitting from a comprehensive specialist restoration and subsequently maintained in private ownership with careful indoor storage. As one of the final Series III models produced before the introduction of the Land Rover Ninety, WAC 382X represents the culmination of over three decades of Series Land Rover development whilst retaining all of the charm, simplicity and character that made the model an icon around the world. The vehicle underwent extensive restoration by a respected Land Rover specialist, including the fitment of a galvanised chassis, rebuilt bulkhead, rebuilt engine, rebuilt axles, new clutch, new braking system, new fuel tank, new exhaust system, new wiring loom, parabolic suspension and replacement doors. The vehicle was also refinished as part of the restoration programme. Unlike many restored Series Land Rovers that have seen years of use since refurbishment, WAC 382X has been carefully stored indoors and used sparingly, allowing the quality of the restoration to remain evident throughout. The chassis remains exceptionally well presented, the bulkhead is in excellent order and the vehicle exhibits remarkably little corrosion throughout. Power comes from the proven 2.25-litre petrol engine, engine number 90291304E, paired with a Weber 34 ICH carburettor. Renowned for its simplicity, reliability and ease of maintenance, the 2.25 petrol remains one of the most desirable powerplants fitted to the Series range and offers an authentic driving experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Now presented in desirable soft-top configuration, this is a Series III that is equally suited to private collection, country estate use, classic touring or simply enjoying on summer weekends. A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely well-restored and carefully preserved late-production Series III, with the expensive and difficult work already completed.
