Lot details

Registration No: MLD 78V
Chassis No: LBABH1AA104548
MOT: Exempt

  • 81,031 recorded and credible miles
  • Benefitting from the safari 'hot climate' roof
  • Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOTs
  • Fitted with new wheels and and Continental Cross Contact AT tyre's

First registered in March 1980, the vendor bought the Series III a few years ago from John Brown 4x4 of Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Retaining its original 2,286cc petrol engine it displays 81,031 credible miles (evidenced from the MOT records) and is tax and MOT exempt as an Historic Vehicle.

This is a genuine Station Wagon in a very original condition and specification. Benefitting from the safari 'hot climate' roof, with vents and working interior roof light, 'MLD' still has the 4 original folding seats in the rear, rather than bench seats, with sliding rear side windows. The Landrover’s only significant change to the appearance being the Continental Cross Contact AT tyre's (offering reduced noise) and new wheels. The wheels were bought from Paddock Spares who kept photographs of the Landrover with the tyres and the set of wheels fitted because they loved the 'look'. A new wheel nut and locking-nut set was included. However, the Landie is being offered with the 5 original wheels with tyres, if the original 'look' is so desired. The specification also features parabolic springs, and a tow bar with electrics. The spare wheel is on a swing away bracket at the rear.

In the cabin, the middle front seat has been taken out and a 'cubby' storage box fitted, with the small middle seat being included in the sale. A JVC radio and CD player has been fitted, and offers Bluetooth connectivity and there is a microphone on the dashboard, all professionally installed at John Brown 4x4. Additionally, a pair of genuine new-old-stock sun visors have been fitted. It has the deluxe, luxury interior trim and seats still fitted so is much quieter inside when you are driving. Featuring overdrive on the transmission, the vendor describes 'MLD' as starting and driving 'really well'. Offered with a weatherproof cover, an original set of Series III wheels, a collection of invoices and old MOTs and the V5C Registration Document.
