A fantastic and fastidious restoration with some choice upgrades including a galvanised chassis and bulkhead; good recent expenditure; ready for shows or work.

Extensively restored to a high standard by renowned Land Rover restoration specialists King Rig Customs, this Series III 88-inch was first registered in July 1976 fitted with a 2.25 petrol engine and whilst not confirmed, shows 47,182 miles on the odometer.

This clearly cost a fortune to complete, the results speak for themselves and the quality of the workmanship is very plain to see. We are informed that the engine and gearbox were rebuilt including a 5-bearing crank and a new overdrive unit. It also received an impressive list of new mechanical components including upgraded shock absorbers and springs. The bodywork is beautifully straight and finished in Woodcote Green which looks wonderful. It sits on a set of 1-Ton wheels finished in Gloss Black which are fitted with a set of BFGoodrich A/T tyres.

The interior did not escape upgrades being well finished and then fitted with LED lighting, Bluetooth Land Rover speaker, a new set of front seats and new rear benches. A new canvas roof was fitted to a galvanised frame. The chassis was replaced with a galvanised unit that was then etch primed and Raptor coated before been reunited with the body which had received a galvanised bulkhead, front plate, plus new door tops, bottoms and cappings.

Since the restoration was completed, there are invoices on file for a new radiator and hose kit, wheel cylinders, brake and clutch fluid, a wheel alignment, a handbrake lever shaft, reverse spring and much more besides. In addition a new front differential and Universal joints have been fitted along with new folding sidesteps.

With nearly £5,000 spent by the last owner, we feel that all works are complete and car is ready for a new owner and this new owner will not be disappointed.  Running and driving beautifully, it has an MOT until April 2026 with no advisories recorded.

A great looking Series III that’s no doubt had many thousands spent on a quality restoration while retaining the heart and soul of this iconic off-roader.
