[For Sale] Series III 88" 1972 - Rebuilt, galv chassis
I never get enough time to use this car any more so I have finally decided I have to sell it, hoping to find someone who will be able to use it more as it's wasted sat in my shed.

Vehicle is a 1972 SWB model, in hard top guise. I bought it in early 2010 and rebuilt it that year onto a new galvanised chassis. The axles were refurbished at the same time. It has Defender seats, mirrors, cubby box and heater as upgrades to make it nicer to drive. Everything works gearbox is a bit noisy and I have a spare I was going to swap in but again, never going to get around to it. Spare box included in sale. Vehicle is currently fitted with a cat flap on the rear which needs a new piece of glass fitting, it also comes with a full height rear door plus various other spares I have lying around for it. Currently sitting on Weller 8-spokes in all their 80s glory, shod with Michelin tyres in good nick. There is a spare on a standard LWB rim, and I'll throw in four more bare LWB rims if wanted. Obviously the car is tax exempt.

Since the rebuild I've kept it in garages or sheds and it has been run regularly to keep everything working, occasionally it has run me about when the 90 has been off the road, but it has not seen a lot of action.

Im looking for £4,000 for it. Located in South Scotland, I can deliver at cost if necessary. Currently only insured until next week at which point it'll go on SORN, but I have a mile-long driveway for those wishing to test drive.

Whoops, might help!

I'm afraid it's just a 2.25 petrol.

MOT expires 14th July 2016 - can renew for buyer if required.

Vehicle now on SORN.

Also now listed on eBay & Car and Classic. But would rather sell to an enthusiast via a forum!
