Imported from Oz: 1981 Land Rover Series III 109 Diesel

DailyTurismo Modern Classic 4X4, Diesel, Land Rover, Off roader, Series III 3

We posted a Land Rover Series III the other day that was really just a collection of parts. Commenter Mountainwoodie got it right when he suggested the seller’s spouse had probably said: ”You better get that pile of junk out of the garage or I’m taking the kids and going to my mothers!” At least it was cheap. Anyway, this next Series III Land Mover is assembled and is probably worth the bump up in price. Find this 1981 Land Rover Series III 109 Diesel offered for $15,000 in Blue Island, IL via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Rest In Pieces: 1973 Land Rover Series III

DailyTurismo Classic British, Land Rover, Parts, Series III, Some Assembly Required 1

I love a good challenge as much as the next guy…and I do enjoy assembling an occasional jigsaw puzzle with my kids…but this “Land Rover” is the jigsaw puzzle equivalent of taking 16 different 1000 piece-puzzles, mixing the pieces together, throw half of the pieces away, and stuff the remaining pieces inside of a raw turkey before baking to a crispy 165 degree internal temperature and then attempt to assembled the puzzle on a windy Thanksgiving afternoon wearing a blindfold and being pestered by a chimpanzee driving a skid-steer. However, I can’t think of a better way to spend 5 grand. I think I could rent a chimp and a skid-steer for that much. Find this 1973 Land Rover Series III offered for $5000 in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

20k: Cold War Tactical Command Post: 1972 Land Rover Series III Carawagon Field Command

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Carawagon, Land Rover, Series III 6

The Sugga from earlier today had us dreaming about classic military vehicles and the only problem is a lack of space for maps and planning in something like a TP-21 or hummer. Sure, you can forge great rivers and withstand small arms fire, but where do you put your maps, tactical charts and the big […]
