Overview of 1972 Land Rover Series IIIA For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
