FS: 1983 Land Rover Santana SIII 88" LHD 2.25L diesel
I regretfully must sell 
my 1983 Land Rover Santana Series III 88" Land Rover Santana 2.25 Litre diesel engine. Her name is "Lola", and she's a beauty!
Location: Vancouver, B.C. Canada.
Price: $13,000 CDN o.b.o.
Current Specifications:
Recent Work:
The transmission, overdrive, and the 4WD work beautifully! The vehicle has some rust around windshield which is a single pane, and has a three wiper system. Santana innovated the overdrive, and designed the initial parabolic leaf springs. From the information I have found the gear box is said to be stronger than most Series III as it is similar to a Defender 90 gearbox.
I would like to see this go to a good home, possibly a collector, as there are not many Land Rover Santanas in North America. She has been used as a daily driver and camping expedition vehicle. I can easily get her up to 90 km/h (over 55 Mph). I have been using BioDiesel b20-b50 blends as BioDiesel lubricates the engine, lowers emissions, and saves $$$. MPG is anywhere between 23 - 29 MPG, and the overdrive really comes in handy!
Thank you for taking the time to look If you have any questions, please contact me.
