Below please find pictures of my 1977 Series III Land Rover. The vehicle has two tops, a soft top which is new in the last 3 years and a hard top. The Rover was mostly restored when my wife and I bought it seven years ago. It has a new chassis, new drive shafts, reconditioned body panels inside and out, and it runs well. The Rover has a tow bar that I have used several times in towing the vehicle short distances (less than 10 miles). The seat box and the rear tub have also been reconditioned; they are not new but are in relatively good shape - only a couple of wear spots. The Rover has passed state inspection (first Virginia and now Vermont) since we have owned it. The petrol engine and drive train work well and have no major issues. I cannot tell you the mileage as I have replaced the speedometer with one from another Rover. We have put approximately 20,000 miles on the vehicle since we have owned it. The tires have approximately 85% tread wear left on them and have inner tubes. If you were to finish the restoration you would want to replace the dash, install inner liners for the doors, manufacture a rear door for the soft top (mine is constructed from wood), replace the door posts, and use Rover parts for some other small items.
