Beyond its incredible mechanical foundation, this Series III stands out for its attention to craftsmanship and comfort. The interior has been reimagined with Defender 110 leather and cloth seating for all passengers, complemented by air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, and a custom leather center cubby. All electrics are functioning, and every surface—flooring, fittings, and panels—shows careful attention to detail.

The exterior tells the same story of excellence. Between the flawless show-quality bodywork, galvanized roof rack, and new steering components, every inch has been touched and perfected. The lighting setup, featuring rally-style spotlights, provides both functionality and flair—making this one look equally at home on a trail or in a museum.

Significance
The Land Rover Series III remains a symbol of authenticity and adventure, and this particular example stands at the intersection of history and modern usability. Combining the timeless charm of the classic Series with the strength and drivability of a Defender, it represents the best of both eras. With its rebuilt drivetrain, power steering, and air conditioning, this is a rare opportunity to own a vintage Land Rover that can truly be enjoyed every day.

Cars Offline is proud to feature this remarkable 1980 Land Rover Series III, a one-of-one build that seamlessly blends vintage British design with modern Defender performance. Finished in striking Deep Bronze Green, this Series III has undergone a complete restoration totaling over $120,000, resulting in a rig that’s as rugged as it is refined. From its new galvanized chassis and power steering to its rebuilt 300TDI engine and R380 gearbox, this Land Rover delivers unmatched reliability and capability—ready for both daily driving and adventure.
