Description
Four owners, the current for 22 years; galvanised chassis; overdrive;
unleaded head; vast history file including original purchase
invoice
First registered in August 1974,
this Series III has had just four owners from new and has been with our vendor
since 2001. The extensive folder of paperwork records
every owner and quite possibly almost all work ever
completed.
Supplied new by Lambs Ltd of
Romford, the original purchase invoice shows that it cost £1,910 with the
following spec: “88in petrol with station wagon door, hard top, deluxe
front seat, fresh air heater, deluxe trim, speedo trip, private locks, safety
harness, finished in Marine Blue with black trim”.
There are many detailed stories in the file documenting long
Scottish and European road trips with a caravan during the 1970s so it has
clearly led an interesting life. In 1991, the car was sold on to the second
owner and shortly after to the third until our vendor purchased it in
2001.
There are countless invoices on file
along with logs of mileages, services and jobs done from 10,000 miles onwards,
the odometer now showing (1)72,678 miles. The last MOT was carried out in
February 2018 which it passed with just one advisory for a nail in the
n/s/f tyre and it has only done another 500 miles
since.
The freewheeling hubs and Superwinch
overdrive were fitted in ’92, new unleaded head in ’97, new roof rack in ’99,
parabolic springs fitted in ’02 and the galvanised chassis in 2010. Bidders are
advised to look at the paperwork for this car as almost every year has been
documented.
