Series III - Replacement galvanised chassis - Well sorted with substantial service history

Introduced in 1971, the Series III represented the next significant development of the Land Rover formula that had begun with the original Series I in 1948.

While retaining the essential ladder-frame chassis, leaf-sprung suspension and part-time four-wheel-drive system that had made the Land Rover such a versatile working vehicle, the new model brought a number of important improvements, including an all-synchromesh gearbox, revised interior and dashboard, and a more integrated grille and headlamp arrangement.

The Series III would ultimately become the longest-produced iteration of the original Land Rover before the arrival of the Defender.
