LAND ROVER DEFENDER SERIES III (Right Hand Drive)

1980 Land Rover Defender Description

This is a good condition Land Rover Series III 88 with a brand new top(right hand drive). I have only had the truck for a month before finding out that my wife and I are expecting a new baby which forces me to sell my beloved Land Rover. This has been my dream truck for quite some time as there is nothing that can match it's versatility, reliability, ruggedness and overall simplicity of the design. The engine and the transmission are in EXCELLENT running condition and is a true blast to drive. It starts up immediately on the first try and runs and sounds like the proverbial sewing machine. It is with a very heavy heart that I am posting this ad and can honestly say that I am very sad to see it go.
The interior was treated to a new black carpet kit prior to me acquiring it and shows very well, the seats are free of any tears or cracks in the vinyl, the tires are 98% new, the body is free of any dings or dents and the frame is free of any rot. The truck has just had an oil change and a new thermostat installed. All lights and gauges are fully functional. The color of the truck is blue, but was treated to the Lowes Hardware paint job which to me, looks AWESOME and is easy to touch up when needed. The odometer shows 44,233, but I do not know if that is accurate.
The truck was purchased from Earl of StrangeRover. I encourage any prospective vintage Land Rover buyer to visit his site, and if possible, speak with him as he is a wealth of knowledge. This gentleman is extremely knowledgeable about this particular truck as well as any other Land Rover model.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to answer.
