Finished in classic Keswick Green over a beautifully appointed tan leather interior, this charming British utility vehicle is a wonderful example of the rugged simplicity and timeless design that made the original Land Rover a worldwide icon.
Originally refurbished in Costa Rica before being imported to the United States in 2021, this left-hand-drive example received extensive attention, including a repaint, interior restoration, and reported overhauls of its 2.25-liter diesel engine and four-speed manual transmission.
Most importantly, this Land Rover has just been freshly serviced, tuned, and made ready for its next caretaker. It's a wonderfully sorted example that's ready to be enjoyed rather than another vintage project waiting for attention.
Under the hood sits the classic 2.25-liter four-cylinder diesel, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox and dual-range four-wheel-drive system. No computers, no unnecessary complications, and certainly no excessive horsepower. Just honest, mechanical motoring the way Land Rover intended.
The exterior is finished in handsome Keswick Green, complemented by matching 16-inch steel wheels wearing aggressive BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. The short 88-inch wheelbase, traditional pickup configuration, bed-mounted spare tire, and unmistakable Land Rover styling give this little truck tremendous presence.
Inside, the beautifully refreshed cabin features tan leather upholstery across the three front seats, dash panels, and headliner. The result is an inviting blend of traditional British utility and tasteful refinement, while retaining the straightforward character that makes these early Land Rovers so appealing.

A Proper British Classic
The Series III Land Rover represents an era when utility vehicles were built with a singular purpose: to work hard, travel just about anywhere, and keep doing so for generations. Today, these charming machines have developed a loyal following among collectors who appreciate their mechanical simplicity, unmistakable styling, and enduring character.
This particular example strikes a wonderful balance between its agricultural roots and a restoration that makes it equally at home on a country estate, parked outside your favorite coffee shop, or tucked into a collection of interesting automobiles.
It isn't fast. It isn't quiet. And that's precisely the point.
Beautifully restored, freshly serviced, and ready for its next adventure.
