Are you looking for an authentic classic that instantly evokes the pure spirit of adventure?

Then this 1983 88 Series III may be the perfect companion. Finished in light green with a white roof, this Land Rover proudly wears its history yet feels remarkably fresh, well-kept, and solid. Its most recent Swiss owner kept the vehicle for an impressive 23 years.

The Series III represents an iconic chapter in Land Rover history. Produced between 1971 and 1985—and now the most widely built Series ever—this model is revered for its robustness, simplicity, and unmistakable character. Land Rover combined its hallmark classic design with subtle modern improvements, such as the stronger gearbox and the slightly enhanced performance delivered by the upgraded petrol engine. That very engine powers this example: reliable, lively, and perfectly aligned with the honest charm of an authentic Series truck.

What sets this vehicle apart immediately is its bodywork: it is exceptionally straight and clean—something we rarely encounter on a Series III. The crisp, well-defined panels accentuate the classic lines beautifully. Paired with a high-quality dark-green ¾ canvas top with side windows, this Land Rover manages to feel both utilitarian and surprisingly stylish.
Inside, you’ll find a surprisingly practical layout, including a cargo bed equipped with rear benches, giving this Series III seating for up to seven passengers. At the time, it was the shortest seven-seater you could buy in Europe. This makes the vehicle truly unique in both size and functionality.

On the road, this Land Rover 88 drives exactly as you would expect from a well-maintained Series III: honest, mechanical, direct, and delightfully free of unnecessary complexity. And that is precisely what makes it more than a means of transport—it’s an experience. For business buyers, there is an added advantage: VAT is deductible.
