Model history

The Land Rover Series III was built from 1971 onwards and marks the last stage of development of the classic Land Rover series before the Defender was introduced. Based on a robust ladder frame with aluminum body and leaf spring suspension, it was considered an uncompromising work vehicle. Particularly characteristic features include the standard four-wheel drive, the plastic dashboard, and the front headlights integrated into the fenders. The six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2.6 liters was the more powerful option and was particularly popular in the long wheelbase (109") models. Today, the Land Rover Series III represents British off-road technology in its most original form – robust, functional, and with iconic charm.
