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.

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.
The 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Station Wagon is the sort of vehicle that built Land Rover’s reputation for durability, utility, and go-anywhere capability. Showing 102,866 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a tan and black interior and combines the practical five-door 110 body with the highly regarded 300Tdi diesel drivetrain. Its expedition-oriented equipment, including a full-length roof rack, rear access ladder, tubular side steps, black steel wheels, and TerraMax all-terrain tires, gives it a purposeful look that suits the Defender’s character. Inside, two-tone seating and a wood-rimmed steering wheel add a more distinctive touch to this traditionally utilitarian platform.
The 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 has long been prized for its utilitarian character, unmistakable box-section styling, and go-anywhere roots, but this Monarch Project 24 takes that familiar formula in an entirely different direction. Showing approximately 1,820 miles, it combines classic Defender architecture with a comprehensively reworked drivetrain, suspension, braking system, exterior, and cabin. At its heart is a 430-horsepower 6.2L LS3 V8 backed by a 6L80 six-speed automatic and Atlas transfer case, while a 5-inch suspension lift, Fox shocks, Ford 9-inch axles, Wilwood brakes, and a Warn winch give the build serious mechanical substance. Nardo Grey paint with orange accents, Italian Nappa leather, carbon-fiber trim, teak flooring, digital instrumentation, and modern multimedia equipment turn this D110 into a distinctive blend of old-school Land Rover presence and modern restomod execution.
This 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 represents one of the most recognizable and capable utility vehicles ever produced, combining classic British expedition styling with practical upgrades for modern usability. Powered by the legendary 2.5L turbocharged TD5 diesel engine and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Defender delivers the rugged character and driver involvement that enthusiasts seek from the marque. Showing approximately 98,377 miles, this example features a matte black exterior, upgraded lighting, aftermarket wheels, and a refreshed interior, creating a distinctive take on the iconic long-wheelbase Defender platform.
The 1987 Chevrolet C20 Silverado comes from the final year of the classic square-body generation, giving this truck strong appeal among enthusiasts who prefer the traditional GM pickup formula. Showing 55,322 miles, this example pairs a 454ci V8 with a 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, all wrapped in a period-style brown and tan two-tone exterior. Its Silverado trim, dual fuel tanks, power accessories, and air conditioning make it well equipped for its era, while aftermarket wheels, a wood-grain steering wheel, custom center console, and Kenwood Excelon head unit add a more personalized touch.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today. Showing approximately 3,055 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
The 1991 Ford Bronco XLT represents the final years of Ford’s classic full-size two-door SUV formula, combining V8 power, four-wheel drive, and a removable-top body with unmistakable early-1990s styling. Showing approximately 109,308 miles, this example is powered by a 302ci V8 paired with an E4OD 4-speed automatic transmission and electronic fuel injection. Finished in blue with a blue-and-white interior, it also comes with both a removable hardtop and black soft top, giving it the versatility to shift from enclosed SUV to open-air cruiser depending on the season.
