Regarded by many as the best off-road vehicle in the world, Land Rover has a storied pedigree dating back to 1948 with the introduction of the original Land Rover Series I. Styling is no-nonsense and quintessentially British. Off-road performance is unparalleled. Simply put, it's the best four by four by far.

OUR DRIVING FORCE IN BUILDING THESE LAND ROVERS IS TO KEEP THE PRICE AFFORDABLE. THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES RECENTLY HAVE BROUGHT UPWARDS OF $35,000 TO $60,000. WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR THAT NUMBER. WE DO NOT SPEND $8,000 FOR PAINT JOBS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REBUILDING THEM GROUND UP MECHANICALLY. BUT WE START WITH A VERY GOOD PERFORMING TRUCK. THE BODIES ARE ALL ALUMINUM AND THE CHASIS ARE STEEL.

I’ve had a lot of phone calls in recent months asking if I ever come across a beach cruiser, something with a soft top that is a good dependable driver….. that I can do anything to and with. Well, I just got one and I’d like you to watch the videos and all the still pictures of this 1974 Series III left hand drive soft top convertible.

This is nowhere near a perfect truck. But it is remarkable how well it runs, drives and looks. The interior is very neat. The dashboard, lights and gauges are functional and in good shape (but gas gauge does not work). It has a very rare factory radio which was sold new with this Landy. This Land Rover was made for the US and sold by a new car dealer in Pennsylvania back in 1974. It’s been in the US its entire life. Even the bench seats in the rear have seatbelts…..which the ones from the UK never have. There is a small crack in the passenger side windshield...easy and inexpensive fix.

The great part: it’s Left Hand Drive. The tires are all decent. There are no leaks, drips, shimmies or shakes. There are a few rusty spots on it that I have shown with the video and my still camera….and I’m sure there are a few others that I haven’t seen.

The doors on this truck close much nicer than most of my Land Rovers in the past. It does have window tops for the doors (not pictured). The canvas top is in excellent condition….almost new. And for an additional $500 I do have a hard top for it.

I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR OFFERS. I REMIND YOU, THIS 42 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY WILL REQUIRE MAINTENANCE AND TWEEKING. DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A MAINTENANCE FREE "NEW CAR" EXPERIENCE ...AND WORIKING ON THESE OLD CLASICS IS HALF THE FUN. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
