The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
Exterior and Interior
This 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana enjoys a new green paint job that was done in 2023 as part of its restoration, replete with a cream canvas top – yes, this is a convertible off-roader. The 16-inch steel wheels are cream colored as well, and wrapped in JK Tyre Jet-Trak tires. There’s also a tow ball, because even though this vehicle is approaching senior citizens status, it’s still unafraid to get its wheels dirty. Just remember that the front locking hubs must be manually locked before venturing into the rough stuff. The interior of this 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana features new tan bucket seats, and a new center console with cup holders. The classic theme is largely preserved, but infotainment has been given a massive boost. From the factory, if you wanted music in your Series III, you had to sing it yourself. Now, there’s a Kenwood head unit and Pioneer speakers to take the load off your vocal chords.
Engine
Sporting a 2.25 (2,286cc)-liter 4-cylinder engine, this 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana isn’t a highway stormer but will plough through any terrain slowly but surely. There’s a 4-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case to help you get by. The vehicle also has all new power-assisted drum brakes, we’re told.
The Land Rover Santana occupies a unique place in off-road history, combining the legendary capability of the original Land Rover with Spanish-built engineering from Santana Motor.

This 1992 Land Rover Santana PS-10 Station Wagon has traveled approximately 92,000 miles and has been thoughtfully updated with a reupholstered interior, aftermarket odometer, replacement seals, and an aftermarket power steering pump. Whether destined for weekend trail adventures or overland expeditions, this classic 4x4 delivers the unmistakable character and capability that have made the Santana name a cult favorite.

The Land Rover Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders in the world, respected for its go-anywhere abilities, uncomplicated mechanicals, and proven ruggedness. However, while the rest of the world was able to get their hands on this iconic 4x4, the U.S. only received a limited number of the original Defenders, making any that are found stateside particularly desirable today. Over the years there have been many different variations of the Defender, but few are as interesting as our featured car, a 1992 Land Rover Santana PS-10. Santana, a Spanish company, built Land Rovers under license beginning in 1961. The Land Rover Santana PS-10 was one of the last models sold under the Land Rover Santana brand, making this example of particular interest to collectors. The current owner reports all maintenance has been kept up to date, with the PS-10 getting new parts while also running its original 2.5-liter I4 diesel engine.
