1973 Land Rover Series 3 | Derby, Derbyshire

A 1973 Land Rover Series 3, the third generation of the leaf-sprung, separate-chassis Land Rover. It is known for aluminium-alloy panels, selectable four-wheel drive and a plain, upright working shape. The Series 3 added a plastic grille and a moulded dashboard that put the instruments in front of the driver. This car is beige outside and beige inside, a muted period tone that sits well against hedgerows, stone and farmyards. It has a 2250cc petrol engine, a front grille in the Series 3 style and seats for seven. Its condition is good. The upright body and plain colouring suit 1970s British film and television, especially rural scenes. Photographers and fashion and editorial stylists get a weathered, honest backdrop for countryside work, and events can use it as a working-vehicle arrival. A country-themed wedding or a personal hire gains the same character. The car is based in Derby.
