Series III 109 station wagon – popup-top camper
1984 model (2nd last production year)
2.5l petrol engine (stroked 2.25l Series engine from early 110 Defenders)
Series II gearbox (stronger than series III gearbox)
Richards chassis
A unique example of the iconic Africa overland vehicle. Complete overland off-the-grid modular camper - fully-equipped and prepared, ready to embark on solo inter-continental trip. No extra attention needed.
One of the last manufactured samples of the legendary series Land Rovers. Culmination of 36 years of refining the Series concept with many mechanical and electrical improvements over earlier Series. Manufactured in the UK in 1984 and driven overland to SA in 1991. I bought it in 2008, fully restored it and gradually equipped it during multiple overland trips. In 2017 it was converted into a camper.
Mechanically in superb reliable condition. Fully rebuilt in 2008. Meticulously maintained over last 12 years by specialist Series LR technician. Recent overhaul of steering, gearbox, clutch, brakes, electrics etc. Perfected over 14 years on multiple overland trips to deal with all climates and terrain. Vehicle was customised for each trip’s specific requirements –
Featured in international Britpart Land Rover Calendar 2019 and SA4x4 magazine 2018.
Unique pop-top roof (2019) with awnings & sidewalls all round. Engel fridge, gas stove, 2 double beds, multiple storage cabinets. Kenwood sound system. Seats up to 5. Sleeps 4.
Three fuel tanks (150l) Two water tanks (76l) - for long-distance self-reliant travel.
120W Solar & 20A 12V DC-DC charging system with aux battery & inverter for 220V power.
Comprehensive protection on all lights, windows, diff & rear fuel tank, rock sliders, front & rear bumpers.
Comprehensive recovery gear – tyre mud/snow chains, hub winches, hi-lift, land anchor etc.
Comprehensive sound & thermal insulation all round for sound system & extreme temperatures.
All in all, certainly one of the most comprehensively equipped expedition Land Rovers in the world.
Right-hand-drive. Takes two weeks to convert to Left-hand-drive
$11 000
A crucial part of the quality of any overland experience is the attitude of the locals towards travellers. This basic vehicle has been greeted everywhere (even in the cities) with smiling faces and often a slap on the fender or rear bodywork with exclamations like “Strong vehicle!”, “Real 4x4!” etc. Priceless welcoming attitudes to sensitive areas, minimal extortion, corruption and harassment. A challenging feat to accomplish with a shiny new expensive luxury vehicle as locals worldwide are sensitive to inequality of income.
