I have just bought my first landcover I have only driven other peoples in the past. I have had my eye on a 1972 series 3SWB for the last few weeks and have just decided to purchase it. Its coming from a dealer in Yorkshire they are delivering to me in Wales. I own a small holding so it will be a good addition.
This was the dealers blurb.....to give you an idea This vehicle has been in the same ownership for 10 years, and was well loved. It has a comprehensive history file, with old MOTs going back 20 years, which suggest that the 33,000 miles is genuine....in 1995 the mileage was 14,000, and the history shows light use year on year....and this makes sense because the diesel engine sounds incredibly fit, and starts with consumate ease. In fact, this lovely Series 3 was driven up from Buckinghamshire!
In addition to being tax exempt and having low miles on the clock, there are lots more goodies besides - it has parabolic springs and procomp shocks, free wheeling hubs, overdrive, and a superb (working) Capstan winch....this is a real plus, as they are known to be incredibly robust and strong, as they run directly off the engine. They are also sought after and therefore valuable!
Finished in Light Pastel Green, the bodywork, as can be seen in the photos, is good. The interior is fitted with rear twin bench seats, and the side windows.
I am having the chassis " Schutzed" to help give it some extra protection. Feeling rather excited
