John Brown 4x4 Ltd
Thirsk, York
1978 Land Rover® Series 3 Ragtop (AUB) SOLD
12 Months MOT will be supplied upon sale. Diesel 2286cc/ Free Wheeling Hubs. Will qualify for tax exemption shortly. Range Rover Diffs.
Here for sale we have a smart soft top Series 3. Due to the rolling tax exemption it will soon be free to tax too, an added bonus.
On the inside there are 3 front seats with inertia belts, and the rear is unfitted, although mats are fitted throughout. If required a pair of rear bench seats can be added (see accessories page).
Externally, the professional paint finish is quite pleasing, and is set off well with the larger 750 military tyres - which look great and won't have you stuck anywhere! The canvas is recent, and a set of free wheeling hubs are fitted to improve fuel economy. The bonnet mounted spare adds to the period charm.
This diesel starts really easily "on the button" and pulls very well, highlighting a good "fit" engine - coupled to the uprated differentials and larger wheels, the resulting increase in gearing ratios makes it a delight to cruise in.
In summary, if you are looking for a smart Series 3 softtop then this is worth considering - and with that tax exemption around the corner, it will make it even more desirable in time to come!
