Land Rover Other Series III 5-door (1979)
for sale

Price: US $3,050.00

Description:

1979 Land Rover Santana 109, Series III 5-door Station Wagon (9-seater)
ACTUAL VIN: E59808194
Sand with White Tropical Roof and Wheels over black vinyl. A rust-free, one-owner vehicle from the south of Spain that has been restored inside and out to excellent driver standard. Extremely low original mileage.
Bodywork is straight and free of damage, and paintwork shines beautifully everywhere except the hood, which is starting to go a bit flat (likely from the blazing Spanish sun). Curb appeal is outstanding. This is a very clean 109, in the sought-after 9-seat configuration allowing lots of flexibility.
Interior is outstanding, with the upholstery on all nine seats in beautiful condition. No cracks in dashboard, and all lights and gauges work as intended. The Especial touches on the interior are in place and in great shape, including a full headliner and full door cards, with storage pockets on the front units.
As with all series Land Rovers, the upper bodywork can be removed, allowing the vehicle to be used in a fully open configuration.
After briefly warming the glow plugs, the engine starts immediately, with just a (normal) puff of smoke that immediately goes away as the vehicle settles into an even, regular idle. The engine is torquey and pulls well, and everything mechanical functions as it should. Steering is good, the gear change is positive and crunch-free, and the brakes work well. This 1979 model has the optional longer gearing, allowing higher top speeds and more relaxed open road cruising, and speeds nearing 65 mph are possible.
In short, this is a beautiful, rust-free, and mechanically excellent 109 that looks beautiful and needs nothing to be used every day.

NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN DENIA, SPAIN.
I am an American, living in Spain, and I export vehicles to the USA regularly. Although shipping costs are not included in the price of the sale, I have contacts with an established worldwide shipper and will work directly with the buyer to arrange delivery to the USA. I will drop the vehicle off at the port of Valencia for you at no additional cost, help you prepare all the proper documentation for shipping to the USA, and assist with US customs and importation on the USA side. The whole process goes very smoothly, usually takes less than 6 weeks, and usually costs less than $2000, port to port. Delivery through my shipper is available to New York, Baltimore and Jacksonville.
Once the vehicle is in your possession, you will also have all the documents you need to register the car in any of 49 states. (California excepted.) I can even arrange transportation within the USA, from the port to your driveway. In short, I am here to help with every step of the process of delivering this vehicle to you.
You are, of course, welcome to fly here and test the car for yourself before you bid, but if that is not feasible, I will be happy to take additional photos, videos, etc. and send them to you. Whatever you need. We can speak on the telephone, or by Skype, so you can see the vehicle in real time before you bid.
If you have any questions, please ask and I will post as many answers here as possible.
