Land Rover Series 3 88 | 1973 | 2.25 4 Cylinder Petrol Florida USA Based

1973 Land Rover Series III 88” Built by DUTCH ROVERS in 2024 Currently located in Tampa, Florida – Clean US Title A properly sorted and beautifully rebuilt Series III 88”, restored and rebuilt by DUTCH ROVERS in the Netherlands and now registered in the United States. This is not a quick cosmetic repaint or lightly refreshed truck. The vehicle was completely disassembled, inspected and rebuilt with a focus on drivability, reliability and preserving the honest character of a classic Land Rover — while upgrading the areas that matter most. The result is an incredibly well-driving and mechanically strong Series III with the right stance, the right details and an enormous amount of recent work throughout. Finished in classic style with galvanized cappings, Wolf wheels, BFGoodrich 255/85R16 tires and an Exmoor Trim soft top, this truck has the exact look a proper Series Land Rover should have. The truck has been driven and tested after completion and remains one of the most complete and extensively rebuilt Series III examples we have built in this price range.
