BaT Auction: 1984 Land Rover 88 Series III

This 1984 Land Rover 88 Series III is a right-hand drive example finished in blue over a black interior that was imported to the United States in 2019 and acquired by the seller in 2020. Power comes from a 2.25-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Features include a white hardtop, inward-facing rear jump seats, and a period Motorola radio. New front footwells were installed and other chassis repair carried out in 2017 along with front brake work, while an oil change and installation of a rear hub seal kit are said to have been performed in preparation for sale. This Series III is offered with a clean Florida title jointly held in the name of the seller and his spouse.

The body is finished in blue with galvanized corner caps, and features a white removable hardtop without side windows. Service records show metalwork performed in November 2017, including replacement of both front footwells along with chassis repairs. The seller notes rust at the windshield hinge bolts.

White-painted 16″ steel wheels wear Wild Trail GTX tires and are bolted to manually-locking hubs ip front. The front brakes were refurbished in 2017, and the rear hubs are said to have been resealed in preparation for sale.

The right-hand drive cab features three individual front seats upholstered in black vinyl as well as inward-facing jump seats located in the cargo area. A period dual-band Motorola radio is housed in the dash.

A three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths gauges in the right side of the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, with approximately 1,500 added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 2.25-liter diesel inline-four sends power through a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. An oil change is said to have been performed in preparation for sale.
