When we compare the classic Land Rover with the original Jeep, we can cautiously say that there are several similarities. In short, both cars share a certain vision: a functionally designed vehicle for practical purposes. The similarities are not surprising, as the Land Rover was inspired by the Jeep.
Over more than 60 years of production, this highly versatile vehicle has proven to be adaptable to countless civilian and military roles. The Series III, produced from 1971 to 1985, was the last evolution of the iconic off-roader before the introduction of the Land Rover Defender. The Series III received several updates, including a modernized interior and a gearbox with synchromesh.
The offered car is a stunning find in exceptionally original condition. This 1978 Land Rover 88 Series III Metal Top, a workhorse with space for seven people, is in very original and fine condition. This vehicle, imported from Switzerland and in the Netherlands since 2007, was originally delivered in the Geneva region for road work. The car is equipped with the coveted 'Safari roof' and a handy roof rack, which enhances its practical usability and charm.
The body of this Land Rover is rust-free and in great original condition, just as you would want it. With its rock-solid body in original condition, it is a delight to look at and ready for the most diverse adventures. The underside is also solid, as clearly seen in the photos. The exterior is in very good condition, retaining the original details and a beautiful, authentic appearance. The interior is just as beautiful. The upholstery is still very neat and in fine condition, which is rare for a vehicle of this age and caliber. The instrumentation, including the lovely gauges and switches, is in good condition. In the back, the car offers space for two people, thanks to the two seats, making it ideal for both daily use and adventurous outings.
A nice bonus with this Land Rover is the practical additions such as the LPG system and the Smiths heater in the interior, providing extra comfort and ease of use. This car drives well, both on petrol and LPG, and is ready for many new adventures. The engine runs smoothly and reliably, and the driving experience is typically Land Rover: robust, reliable, and ready to tackle any terrain.
In short, this 1978 Land Rover 88 Series III Metal Top is a timeless classic that will appeal to both collectors and adventurers. It is a vehicle that not only represents a piece of British automotive history, but is also ready for many more years of driving pleasure. Are you interested in this special Land Rover?
