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.

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

This 1972 88-inch example is powered by the familiar 2.25-litre petrol four-cylinder engine and is equipped with the desirable short-wheelbase configuration.
