I really do love my 1976 Land Rover Series 3 88" but I think it is worth discussing - could this be the perfect classic car with which to enter the hobby? Sure, there are many aspect which make it great to live with, but let's examine it in detail and see what we think...

Love it! They are certainly a conversation starter. Especially here in the rural California central valley. They are not presumptuous, so people are not afraid to come up and ask about it. Take one to a hardware store, auto parts store or gas station on a Saturday morning and you’ll make new friends. 👍I Garrandamtee it!👍

Totally agree, you always get a smile and a wave when out and about in a Series Landie!

Very nice series 3 and a very nice video. Thank you! I'm glad you also mentioned the fun just having one of these. I did a complete rebuild of a 1978 swb about twelve years ago and I remember all the parts being cheap then. Bought a galvanised chassis with the papers you need and started working. As I got many parts from a friend from England, the biggest problem for me was to find the parts necessary for LHD. These parts in the end came from al over Europe. Also mounted a capstan winch, overdrive, free wheeling hubs. Very satisfying to do. Tax free in the Netherlands as well and insurance is €5,00 a month. Still needs MOT (APK) here until it's 50 ears old, but passed "met vlag en wimpel" (without any advisory or whatever problem) again a month ago. Now mainly used for hauling fire wood and the odd job. Drive it with a smile!

@@hansbeens3625 Great story! It’s cool you still own it. My S2A makes me smile just looking at it. Every time I get it out, my wife wants to go for a ride. Fun is the objective when you have a hobby vehicle and this fits the bill.👌 Greetings from California.👍

I've rebuilt three series landrovers, one of the most important things in my landrover toolbox was WD40 for all those rusted nuts bolts and screws 😂

I've got a Mk1 Mini and space in the garage for another classic and have wanted a Series Landrover for sometime, plan to buy myself one as a retirement present. Would you recommend the 2 1/4 diesel or would I be better going for a petrol, I'm guessing they're maybe not massively different in performance or economy?

Have always fancied at Mk1 Mini myself! I really do like my diesel for its simplicity and reliability. I also enjoy the fact that it’s now very much a minority with many having been removed for more modern lumps. Petrols will always be more desirable and are more powerful but less economical. Don’t look past a good diesel if you find one but do go for a good test drive!
