Description
This fine example of patinated Land Rover heritage is a matching numbers 1977 Series III 109” Station Wagon.
Powered by Land Rover’s 2,286cc straight-four petrol engine, with four-speed low and high range manual transmission, and presented in Marine Blue over body-colour interior, ‘RUL 488R’ includes ‘Deluxe’ seating for 10 in the classic five-door long-wheelbase estate.
Those seats are upholstered in black vinyl, which is far from the only concession to comfort.
The vehicle is also fitted with the double-skinned Tropical roof, which includes Alpine windows set into the curvature of the cream-coloured roof.
This matches the wheels, which are fitted with period free-wheeling hubs to reduce transmission drag at higher speeds.
‘RUL 488R’ has benefitted from recent services and work carried out to the value of more than £3,500, and there is a file of documentation supporting its history.
Other recent expenditure includes a work on a brake overhaul, lift pump, seat bases, and new bulk...
