An original Land Rover may be too slow for the highway, but it's the real deal when heading off-road.
Series III models were built with 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbases. This is one of the long-wheelbase models, and it's powered a 2.6-liter inline-6 engine. Land Rover estimated 70 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque, but Grappo considers those figures to be"optimistic." What little power there is is routed to all four wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The Series III was the first Land Rover with synchromesh gears.
Information about this specific vehicle's service history is scarce, but Grappo says his"best guess" based on research so far is that it was an FFR model used as a radio truck. He points out a small box on driver's side front fender, which he says was used as a mounting point for communications equipment.
A Land Rover of this vintage can be a bit slow for modern traffic, but Grappo has taken the Series III to Moab and confirms that it's the real deal off-road. And it gets plenty of attention no matter where it goes.
