1975 Land Rover 109" Ex Fire Truck
Selling my 1975 Land Rover Series 3 RHD with a Carmichael fire truck body style conversion. No fire apparatus remains. I was first to register this rover here in the states. I bought it with 1900 miles indicated on speedometer. It is very possible that this was the actual mileage, although I have no way of knowing for sure. It was likely in service in a small British town and was likely part of a small department of fire vehicles. As such, if it were in service for 15 years or so, that would render a bit over 125 miles per year. Certainly conceivable in a small hamlet. It now has less than 4000 miles, the balance I've put on over the past few years. It starts up instantly even after being stored each winter and it runs super strong and tight. I strongly recommend that anyone interested to come look at the vehicle. As you know, Land Rovers are unique creatures and each is replete with its own character - a character that can only be truly divined by an in-person inspection and drive. You won't be disappointed. I am selling the vehicle reluctantly, as I need to put money into my '58 Series I and have recently invested in my '66 Series IIA. Truck has a rear PTO. Roof has indentation for ladders, originally fire ladders, but you could put extrication/sand ladders. Top is made of fiberglass. Sides can come down, as pictured, for that open safari feel. Shutters provide easy access to stowed equipment and allow for "clean" aerodynamic configuration when up. Great hunting club vehicle or game observation vehicle. Or, use it for your private air strip. 2.25L 4-cylinder. Gas tank was recently refurbished professionally. I put on new exhaust a couple years ago and a new exhaust manifold. Frame is impeccable as is bulkhead. No problems whatsoever. What you'd expect from a garaged ex-fire truck. If the Brits are anything like our firefighters, vehicle was washed and cared for regularly. Located in Vermont. $13500 or trade for unimog (preferably with plow or snowblower).
