Welcome to my Series III Restoration Site
This site is dedicated to my eternal fiddling and tweaking of my 1972 Series III 109 inch Land Rover.
I bought it in February 1992 and immediately set about a few repairs and a bit of tidying up and 15 years later I’m still working on it! After years of minor rebuilds, in 2004 the discovery of some major corrosion led to a full ground-up rebuild. As this started, the specification started to creep, and many new features have being incorporated.
Hopefully this site will be of use to people attempting the same tasks and will provide evidence of just how much money I’ve actually spent on the vehicle (this last was written by the Mrs!).
