Description.

Series lll short wheel base Landrover, with 2¹/₄ petrol engine, fitted with an overdrive and Weber carburettor.

The chassis and outriggers are sound. They have all been cleaned off, painted and sprayed with wax preservative. This chassis is rechecked each year after the winter and remedial work undertaken. The chassis has had some welding repairs but I have only had to carry out one small patch repair.

The bulkhead is sound. I have drilled the bulkhead in the area near the windscreen (weak point) and I routinely spray inside with wax each year.

There is some light corrosion on the wings. (See photos)

All tyres, including the spare are road legal, see photos.

The vehicle still has its original jack, brace and starting handle!

When work is undertaken and where appropriate, nuts and bolts have been routinely changed for stainless steel replacements.

History

Bought by me and a friend in 2002. After installing a rear half chassis, new rear springs dampers, foot wells etc., sold it to my Dad. He has owned it for the last 10 years but now needs space on his drive for a replacement Land Rover.

Work undertaken on this Landy over the last 10 years include;

New petrol tank, radiator, second hand overdrive, alternator, refurbished starter motor, coil, Weber carburettor, inner wings and bulkhead to chassis supports.

In the last 3 years both steering swivels have been rebuilt with new swivels, seals, bearings etc. Note these still continue to contain oil and are not filled with grease!

Serviced with high quality oils every year for the past 10 years.

All brake cylinders replaced. The bulk of the solid brake pipes are now copper.

Miscellaneous steering joints, oil seals, speedo cable, washer pump, lights, lenses, brake light switch & consumables e.g. brake shoes, fan belt, wipers, exhausts etc. Wing mirrors converted to Defender type.

Extras

Passenger side step, sun visors, inside light, reversing light, front and rear mudflaps.

Known problems

The rear axle oil seal is weeping. This leak is not excessive and I have not had to add any oil since the summer. A replacement seal is contained within the Landy Spares pack.

The clutch flexible hose is weeping. This has recently started and is not excessive but I am checking the fluid level on a weekly basis. I have purchased the replacement hose but have not had time to fit it because of time and weather constraints. The replacement hose is contained within the Landy Spares pack.
