Description
Registration No: NCY 648LChassis No: 90106798AMOT: Exempt
Desirable 2.25-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with four-speed manual gearbox Believed by the vendor to have covered a genuine 43,000 miles
Recent Weber carburettor upgrade
The Land Rover Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache of a product that continued to sell well across the world, despite increasingly tough opposition from a number of rivals, most notably Toyota.
Series III improvements are easy to spot thanks to the headlamps being moved across to the front wings and an updated stylised plastic radiator grille.
The updated and more safety conscious interior and all synchromesh gearbox acknowledged that the opposition was catching up, and the arrival of overdrive catered for those who needed their Land Rovers for serious on-road work. 'NCY 648L' comes to market with a lovely, original patina having seen very little use on UK roads.
