This 1983 Land Rover 88 is a true gem, embodying authenticity and rugged charm. Originally built in England and delivered new to Italy, it retains its original left-hand drive configuration. The aluminium bodywork, painted in Bronze Green, exudes a timeless appeal with its vintage patina and signs of honorable use. While minor retouching has been done, it only adds to its character, showcasing a history of adventure.

Under the hood lies the heart of this car—a robust Diesel 2,286 cc engine that starts with ease and pairs seamlessly with the manual transmission. Equipped with Fairey Overdrive and Fairey free hubs, this deluxe version offers enhanced capabilities, ensuring you can conquer any terrain with confidence. The mechanics, interior, and electronics have been meticulously maintained, with recent garage service totaling over €2,000 in invoices.

Step inside, and you'll find a Spartan yet charming interior, adorned with new black leather front seats and functional original controls and instruments. The utilitarian design extends to the cargo area, offering practicality without sacrificing style. The vehicle's roadworthiness is confirmed by its recent technical inspection, valid until June 2025, and its ACI Historic registration.

This Land Rover Series III 88” ‘Deluxe’ is a handsomely patinated example of the rugged and dependable modern classic British 4x4, offered for sale by its third owner from new. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.3-litre diesel inline-four, delivering around 60hp to all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example has been with the seller and reportedly third owner for one year. The odometer indicates 21,922 Kms, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

This desirable rare late ‘Deluxe’ model is finished in the handsome shade of Bronze Green with a contrasting white roof and a silver front bumper, over a body-colored cabin, featuring black vinyl ‘deluxe’ upholstery, Fairey overdrive and Fairey free hubs. It rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels finished in cream, which are shod in Super Traction tyres. Equipment includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel carrier, sliding windows, protective headlamp grilles, a three-spoke steering wheel, a high and low range gearbox, Jaeger gauges, ventilation slats, and folding rear bench seats. The car comes with various maintenance and parts invoices.

CONDITION

Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. This Land Rover wears its age with pride, showcasing a small dent in the corner of the bonnet, which adds character to its rugged appearance. Inside, the front seats have been retrimmed, providing a fresh look and comfortable seating, while the rear seat cushions have also been replaced. The dashboard has undergone restoration, enhancing the overall appeal of the interior. Despite its age, this Land Rover maintains its charm and functionality. While there are minor issues with the lights, the indicators operate smoothly, ensuring safe and reliable driving experiences. There is no rust.

SERVICE HISTORY

This Series III’s most recent maintenance was carried out in June 2023, including a standard service. Other notable maintenance includes an engine oil and filter change, part of the electrical system and the interior being renewed by the seller, brakes renewed, and various repairs and fixes done over the years. The frame was totally rebuilt by the previous owner.

SUMMARY

Ansvarsfriskrivning

Catawiki strävar alltid efter att erbjuda dig bästa möjliga köpupplevelse. Våra experter granskar varje fordon virtuellt och väljer i enlighet med våra riktlinjer för inlämningoch vi kräver att våra säljare ger den mest exakta beskrivningen av fordonet. Att tillhandahålla en fullständig detaljerad analys av fordonet är dock extremt svårt och nästan omöjligt. För att vägleda dig ber vi våra säljare att lämna information om fordonets skick. Tänk på att de flesta fordon till salu är klassiska fordon och de har ofta redan ett helt liv bakom sig, vilket innebär att även ett fordon i skick 1 eller 2 kan behöva underhåll för att vara redo för vägen. Vi rekommenderar att du noggrant läsa våra riktlinjer för inlämning som ytterligare beskriver detaljer om skick, betyg och typer för realistiska förväntningar. Bilar säljs ""i befintligt skick"", vilket betyder som beskrivet och i det skick de är i vid tidpunkten för försäljningen och utan någon representation, garanti eller ansvarstagande av något slag för tillståndet av Catawiki eller av säljaren. Villkoret för denna artikel är säljarens åsikt och kan skilja sig från din, din lokala verkstad eller återförsäljarens åsikt. Detta betyder inte automatiskt att bilen inte överensstämmer med beskrivningen. Innan du bjuder bör du kontrollera din lokala lagstiftning om fordonsregistrering. Varken säljaren eller Catawiki är ansvarig för registreringen av fordonet i ditt land och accepterar inte en annullering för din underlåtenhet att registrera fordonet. Vi rekommenderar också att du, om möjligt, arrangerar en visning med säljaren innan du lägger ett bud.
