When your Land Rover Series III reaches the fifty-year mark, you’re no longer driving a car: you’re building a legacy. And what’s the perfect gift for such a classic off-roader? A comprehensive overhaul that optimizes performance and durability for another five decades.
Old creatures are known to pick up bad habits and sometimes throw a tantrum in the most inappropriate occasions. So, we took it upon us to make sure this overland icon keeps up with the times and offers the smoothest driving experience.
After a thorough inspection and diagnostics, our team expertly rebuilt the transmission, replacing synchros and ball bearings to deliver a smoother, more reliable ride.
With the same philosophy in mind, the braking system was completely overhauled: the front and rear brakes were rebuilt, while the master cylinder, power booster and other worn components like pads, shoes, and drums were replaced. Rejuvenated, the iconic Landy now offers a smoother, more responsive braking experience, for ultimate safety and reliability.
Time can wait
And just because there will be bumps in the road doesn’t mean you have to feel them, we overhauled the suspension, repairing compromised mounting points and replacing the springs and shocks with premium hardware. More grip? No problem: the new Michelin tires have got you covered.
Low speeds and tight maneuvers are no longer a headache. If this Series III was already rugged in 1975, the installed power steering makes it unstoppable, bringing easier handling and greater control.
It is also quite easier on the eyes, after a few key cosmetic upgrades. The new door tops, repaired doors and handles, and replaced door gaskets give the vintage truck a fresh, functional look, while the new front grill and headlights add a modern and stylish touch. To top it off, the powder-coated white wheels don’t just look stunning, they offer a sleek seal of long-lasting durability.
Here's to another fifty!
