The vehicle is powered by a 2.25-liter four-cylinder diesel engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a high/low transfer case. According to the listing, the Series III shows 26,000 miles and retains the rugged utility-focused design that helped establish Land Rover’s reputation across global markets during the 1970s.
Built by Santana Motor in Spain under license from Land Rover, the Santana-branded models became known for maintaining the character of the British off-roader while serving markets throughout Europe and beyond. The 88-inch wheelbase configuration offered maneuverability and durability, making it popular for agricultural, industrial, and recreational use.
This example has undergone restoration work and was recently serviced prior to being offered for sale. The exterior retains its classic upright body lines and utilitarian appearance, while the interior has been updated with brown diamond-stitched upholstery and seating for six passengers. Additional upgrades include a custom wood rear floor that adds contrast to the otherwise rugged cabin design.
The listing notes that the body, undercarriage, engine bay, and interior all present cleanly following the restoration. The truck has also reportedly been imported and driven in recent years, preserving the functional nature these classic Series trucks are known for rather than remaining strictly a static display vehicle.
The asking price for the Land Rover is set at $46,000. The seller states that the vehicle carries a clean title and is available for both nationwide and international shipping. Financing options are also being offered for qualified buyers.
As interest in vintage four-wheel-drive vehicles continues to grow, restored Series Land Rovers have increasingly become sought-after additions among collectors looking for classic off-road capability paired with timeless design.
