Info about this vehicle:

1980 Land Rover Series 3 - Safari Green - 99,275km - 4.1L Inline 6, 4-Speed Manual, 4WDOverviewThe Series 3 represents the final evolution of Land Rover's original design lineage, produced from 1971 to 1985. This 1980 example is a genuine period piece from the golden era of utilitarian 4WD vehicles, when simplicity, durability and go-anywhere capability defined the breed. The Series 3 remains highly sought after by enthusiasts, restorers and working vehicle operators alike. Its reputation for longevity and parts availability makes it a sensible investment in classic 4WD heritage. This particular vehicle presents as an honest, unrestored example with authentic patina throughout, retaining its original Safari Green livery and period-correct specification.The vehicle displays the characteristic weathering expected of a 44-year-old working vehicle. The Safari Green paint holds reasonable colour consistency across the body panels, with light stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and minor surface oxidation in keeping with the vehicle's age. The canvas canopy roof shows age-related weathering and fading to the fabric, consistent with decades of Australian sun exposure. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight, with no evidence of accident damage or major panel replacement. The original steel wheels are fitted with Goodyear and Dunlop cross-country pattern tyres in serviceable condition. A spare tyre is mounted on the bonnet. The front grille, headlight surrounds and bumper bar show patina-appropriate corrosion typical of vehicles of this era. The windscreen is original and intact. Overall, the exterior presents as a genuine, unrestored example with honest wear rather than neglect.The interior reflects the vehicle's age and working history. The original black vinyl bench seat shows wear consistent with decades of use, with the driver's side bolster displaying creasing and the passenger side showing lighter wear. The original steering wheel is worn but intact. The instrument cluster is original and legible, displaying the odometer reading of 99,275 kilometres. The dashboard retains its original vinyl covering with appropriate patina. The canvas door panels and trim show age-related fading. A period-correct Leyland Australia compliance plate is visible on the driver's side door jamb, confirming factory specification. The vehicle retains its original manual transmission and 4-speed gearbox. The engine bay houses the original 4.1-litre inline 6-cylinder petrol engine (engine number PJ38467), finished in period-correct blue. The engine bay shows honest wear with surface corrosion on ancillary components and hose connections, consistent with age and use. No major modifications are evident. The spare tyre is mounted on the bonnet with rope securing straps. A B
