Thread: Personal Touches

Offered a new home to a 1976 Series 3 shorty on the weekend.
The owner passed away many years ago, and his wife kept the vehicle for nostalgic reasons.
It has original 2.25 engine etc, but is full of little personal touches, kick panels on the doors,
fishing rod holders, door pockets, and even a unique cruise control/hand throttle that operates
directly onto the accelerator pedal. It also has a very well made wire grille to replace the plastic
S3 grille, which looks good, but if galvanized would really look the part. The plastic grille came
with it, however i assume the owner preferred the appearance of the earlier series Land Rovers
with wire grilles.
It also came with a large folder that contains a comprehensive history of the vehicles maintenance
and service records, plus an assortment of spare parts.

Here are a few pics.

Cheers, Mick.

Plan to leave most of it as it is.
