In 1948, a British off-road legend was born. The Rover Company released their Land Rover Series 1, and it was the world’s first production four-wheel drive car with doors and a hardtop roof. Modeled on the Willys Jeep CJ (which didn’t have doors or a hard roof at the time), the Series I became the Series II, Series III, and finally, the classic Defender that we know and love. Indeed, it’s not hard to see the family resemblance, isn’t it? This particular 1972 Land Rover Series III is a bit special because it’s a firetruck-style conversion by Carmichael and Sons of Worcester, United Kingdom. With its 2.3-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine, 4-speed manual gearbox and sub-52,000 mile odometer reading, this machine is currently up for grabs in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Painted in Fire Red, this 1972 Land Rover Series III firetruck conversion comes with a Godiva fire pump, dual roof beacons, a roof-mounted extension ladder and even a roof-mounted hose reel and work light! Yes, it’s a firefighter, or firefighting aficianado’s dream come true. The vehicle rocks red-painted steel wheels with all-terrain utility tires, fire extinguishers and period accessories, and even front-mounted pump controls and gauges. Isn’t it awesome? In fact, it’s bringing out the child in many members of our team as we speak! The black interior of this 1972 Land Rover Series III is as purposeful as they come, with just the bare necessities for the vehicle’s purpose as an emergency responder. Its right-hand drive and rocks three abreast seating upholstered in black vinyl. Much of the space behind the seats is taken up by the fire fighting equipment, after all.
This 1972 Land Rover Series III has a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine to move it around. The naturally aspirated unit uses a Zenith 36IV single downdraft carburetor. It drives all four wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. There’s also a 12-volt electrical system and a two-speed transfer case, offering high and low ranges. Yes, we’ll be honest, this machine might not be as speedy as the latest fire engines, but it’ll get there in a suitably timely manner.

If one were to ask to name some of the greatest go-anywhere vehicles in the world, Land Rovers are sure to be on the top of the list. With a history spanning over seven decades, Land Rover was responsible for many landmarks in the world, such as the first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car and the first four- or five-door 4WD off-road station wagon. Out of the three main Series models that were produced, our subject vehicle falls under a subcategory of the second series: the Series IIIA. It was renowned by many for being the most hardy Series model constructed. This nostalgic 1975 Land Rover Series IIIA 88 only has 15,000 miles on its clock, and the 88 denotes its wheelbase in inches. The body tags confirm that this particular example was manufactured in Spain, produced under license by Santana Motor, and is now available for purchase in immaculate condition.
For ultimate off-road performance, an old-school machine like this 1999 Land Rover Defender 90 is perfect. Dressed in British Racing Green and packing the sturdy 300Tdi powertrain, this 124,000-mile short wheelbase off-roader is ideal for those who need a weekend toy. The vehicle is an import from Italy with import papers, and currently up for grabs in Los Angeles. Moreover, it’s from the classic Defender line-up, which can trace its origin way back to the Series 1 of 1948. So, it’s a refreshingly old-school, analog four wheel drive that won’t throw a fit and need a computer to be fixed if the stars don’t align.
Staying original is easier said than done; you have a massive aftermarket that may tempt you to change it up, and years of use might make an owner decide to “refresh” it. Present today is a proud original Saudi-Arabian example, taking shape with this 1984 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. Hailing from Medley, Florida, this classic beauty is recognized by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust and is one that is bound to charm you with every drive out.
Land Rover, that iconic British automaker who gave us the OG Defender way back in 1948, has only risen from strength to strength. Curiously, they are one of a handful of automakers who’ve only offered SUVs in their portfolio. You won’t find a sports car, grand tourer, sedan, station wagon or pickup truck (unless you count the original Defender which was offered in open-bed form). Their Range Rover sub-brand is well-regarded for being a cut above its parent, in terms of luxury as well as sportiness. That’s where this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE hails from. With under 63,000 miles on the odometer, this two-row midsize luxury SUV is perfect for a family that needs space, luxury, off-road ability and cargo capacity. It’s up for grabs in Largo with two keys included in the sale.
