"Fully restored in 2022!"
- After the economic crisis of the 1970s, the Land Rover Serie III was out of date because of its fuel consumption... For the first time since its introduction, sales were in free fall! At the 1983 Geneva Motor Show, the answer came: the spartan Serie III disappeared in favour of the new 110, followed by the 90 in 1984.
- As well as a redesigned front end, these new models featured new coil-spring suspension, a 5-speed gearbox, front disc brakes and new engines. Our example is certainly in the most special trim of its time, being a 90 Soft-Top equipped with the 3.5-litre V8!
- In 2022, more than €30,000 has been invested in fully restoring this 90 at specialist RRC Offroad establishments. No stone was left unturned: complete paintwork in Arles Blue, bodywork modifications, wiring harness modifications, full upholstery modifications, with the addition of Recaro leather bucket seats, etc...
- Today, the car is in perfect general condition, and runs very well. Its 3.5-litre V8 block is topped by a 3.9-litre injection unit, making the whole unit even more powerful. The gearbox was recently overhauled by the current owner's mechanics, and the steering box was changed to make this behemoth easier to drive!
- Rare in this V8 version, and with an exemplary restoration, this 90 will win over the most demanding collectors. It's the perfect toy to brighten up any coastal home!
