Offered here is a fine example of the factory lightweight Series III "Air Portable" Land Rover. These are the nimble and rugged Military variants of the early Land Rovers. They have become hugely popular among enthusiasts of the brand and 4x4 adventurist. Sitting on a much shorter wheelbase of 88 inches and fitted with aluminum body panels this makes this a fun-loving Rover. This particular vehicle was imported from Italy and has been used sparingly. The bodywork is original, containing the original spot welds. This Series III underwent a thorough restoration and was upgraded with a fully enclosed and ventilated Safari roof.

Refurbishment of this Land Rover also covered new springs, intake hoses, and battery clamp. This subtle top change was designed by its previous owner for a more modern look and for a more modern purpose of use. Just like any of the larger Defender series with Safari Roofs you can imagine a tent top, rack, lights, storage and so forth. After all its a Land Rover, and you may option it how you like. Finished in classic Land Rover green, this Series III has the classic look these iconic utility vehicles are known for.

This would be an excellent companion on the Copperstate Overland off-road rally, or ideal Rover to bring to the Transterras Land Rover events, joining fellow Land Rover enthusiasts.
