Title: 1980 Series 3 For Sale in St ALbert
Post by: xmod109 on March 15, 2025, 04:31 PM
Time to sell the beast, still love it but I never get a chance to drive it anymore.
1980 Land Rover Series 3, 109. Ex Military 3/4 Ton, L/H drive. 82082 Km. Diesel conversion to 2.5 Na done 5 years ago. 1500 Km on rebuilt engine.
Straightest panels you will ever see on a xmod rover. Only 1 layer of paint and it's British Racing Green, not OD (on the outside anyway) 4 spd manual transmission, no power steering, scary AF over 100 km/hr (which it can reach on a flat stretch with a tail wind or down a long hill). Canvas hood with all the sticks and hoops including a Defender hoop behind the tub. Runs, drives, electrical by Lucas so there are always issues, diesel.
There is a new extra canvas & 2 home made bikini hoods and squaddie seats for 8 of your bravest friends.
Frame is solid but its starting to flake at the rear horns. Tires are old but lots of tread. Not running tubes and the rear passenger has a slow leak.
Some issues with the guages that I haven't worked out. Electric fan for the engine and a disconnect switch for fording. I'd prefer to be contacted directly at delbad@gmail.com More photos available thru email.
$12k asking.

Very tidy truck that, and well looked after.   sorry to see it go but hope it stays close to home ;-)

Beautiful truck!  I want it, but my wife would bury me in it.  I think you'd rather see it on the road than in a hole. :(

It would be a nice place to spend eternity though. Wouldn't get bored as there would always be something to fix on it.

Please delete the post. She has gone to her forever home, a nice place in the Yukon with a covered shop to stay in and new lands to explore.
