1983 Land Rover Series III | Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire

The Land Rover Series III was the last of the original Series line, a leaf-sprung working 4x4 with a square, practical body. Late cars are recognised by the plastic grille and the headlights set into the wings. The model served widely with the British Army. This 1983 car is finished in forest green over a black interior, in very good condition. Riveted panels and flat sides give it the plain, workmanlike look of a farm Land Rover, and its 2.25-litre petrol engine suits that character. It seats seven, so a crew or a bridal party can travel together. Green paint and an upright body sit well against fields and woodland. That suits 1980s-set film and TV, period drama, photography and fashion or editorial shoots with a rural backdrop. Seven seats also help events that move a group between locations. Weddings and personal hires with a country or rustic feel suit it too. The car is based in Gloucester, Gloucestershire.
