1973 Land Rover Series lll RHD

Location: California

Why It's Curated: This 1973 Land Rover Series III RHD is for sale in CA. The Series III is one of the last expressions of Land Rover's original utilitarian formula -- body-on-frame simplicity, a live axle at each corner, and a transfer case that predates the era of electronic intervention by decades. This example carries the rarer 2.6L inline-six, a larger-displacement engine not commonly found in Series III trucks imported to the U.S., paired with a four-speed manual and right-hand drive configuration that speaks to its origins. The exterior wears its original Keswick Green in well-earned patina -- the seller notes it reads closer to light blue with age, with a touched-up rear quarter panel -- and the interior continues the same period-correct green throughout. What makes this truck worth attention is the recent body-off frame restoration, which included a complete suspension refresh, new radiator, water pump, thermostat, and muffler, among other work. Dakota A/T LT235/85R16 tires on stock 16x5.5 steel wheels round out a mechanically refreshed, cosmetically honest truck. Buyers should note a reported loss of power on steep grades. This suits a collector or enthusiast who wants a mechanically sorted, genuinely patinated Series III without the cost or compromise of a full cosmetic restoration.
