Fantastic
restoration with some choice upgrades; galvanised chassis and bulkhead; 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
shows 46,726 miles on the odometer.
Unfortunately
there is no documentation for the restoration however we are told that the
engine and gearbox were rebuilt including a 5-bearing crank and a new overdrive
unit. It also got an impressive list of new mechanical components including new
upgraded shocks 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 satin black and wrapped in a set of BFGoodrich A/T
tyres.
The interior did not escape a glow
up, 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
tilt was also fitted with 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 its restoration was completed, we have invoices on file
for a new radiator and hose kit plus lots of miscellaneous items
including a handbrake lever shaft, reverse spring and much more besides. These
were all supplied and fitted by APB Trading in Kiderminster in October 2023 when
our vendor took the vehicle in for an inspection and a good
once-over.
A great looking Series III that’s no
doubt had many thousands spent on a quality restoration that retained the
heart and soul of this iconic off-roader.
