1974 Land Rover Series III Station Wagon For Sale Right Hand Drive2.5 Liter TDI Turbocharged Engine 4 Speed Manual Transmission 4 Wheel Drive All Original Body PanelsThis Survivor Spent Most Of Its Life In AfricaThe Series III Is The Final Of The Series Range And Adheres To The Original Classic Design With Its Recessed Headlights And Other Vintage Touches. Problem Was That The Originals Were Supplied With Very Small Gasoline Or Diesel Engines, Which Were Adequate For Rummaging Through The Woods Or Barreling Across Dunes But Were Inadequate For Use As Daily Drivers On Modern Roads. This Unique Example Has Had The Most Desirable Of All Upgrades -- The Installation Of A Land Rover 2.5 Liter TDI Turbocharged Engine! This Garrett Turbocharger Transforms The Vehicle By Adding +30% More Power!To Maximize Their Longevity And Durability, Land Rovers Were Made From Aluminum, A Practice Just Introduced By Ford In 2016 For Its F-150 Pickup Truck. However, The LR Frame Remained Steel, And This Was A Potential Problem Over Time As The "Tin Worm" (What The Brits Call Rust) Attacked The Frame. Many Have Been Replaced, But This Example Is All Original And Shows No Signs Of Repair Ever, Either On The Frame Or Body Panels. This Is Certainly Because This Car Lived In Africa Where The Dry Climate Precluded Rust. The Upgraded Drivetrain On This Example Includes A 4 Speed Transmission That Functions Perfectly (Up And Down Shifts Smoothly). The 4 Wheel Drive System Also Works Properly. The Cosmetics Of This LR Have Intentionally Been Left As Original As Possible, With Touch-Up Paint In The Original Factory Color Applied To Its Original Body Panels. To Import This Car Legally And To Pass Rigid Connecticut Registration Requirements, All Operational Aspects Of The Car Have Been Gone Through And Made Fully Functional. The Net Result Is A Series III Land Rover That Looks And Drives Beautifully Despite Its Highly Original Appearance. Anyone Can Spend A Fortune To Restore A Vehicle, But Savvy Collectors Know, "They're Only Original Once."
