- This is a story about fulfilling a boyhood dream of buying a Land Rover Series 3 Pickup Truck. I am smitten with old Land Rovers, well old things in general, but in this video I sell a Freelander to pay for a 1983 Land Rover Series 3 Pickup truck. Yes, they're terrible to drive and somewhat unreliable, but I absolutely love it!

The Brits made a very unic and beautiful landrover back then im quaite impressed and it can go anywhere car it's very good and rugged farm car I wanted one so bad now ❤❤❤
I bought a 109" in June last year with a canvas roof from the military and petrol 2.25 litre engine and running well, converted to a 9 seater and kept in a dry garage, great off road 40 mph on road and they are happy, if you find a decent one chassis and outriggers and bulk head wise also doors and frames rust wise I would advise you to buy it you will make money later and enjoy it for the fun it is on and off road. Winter snow or work they won't let you down.
I haven't seen a lot of 109's in the UK but heaps in SA. I'd like to own one again at some point.
@@DaleReubin I'm in Southern Ireland and there isn't many about on the road.
It’s the best feeling in the world. I’m on my third Land Rover series 3, I’ve regretted selling the previous ones and my heart aches thinking that I sold them. You can’t help but put your heart and soul into them. I’ll keep the current one till the day I die.
They are really special vehicles! I've got a defender 110 now and absolutely LOVE it!
Thank you for sharing this! Really a inspiring video! And congratulation on your childhood dream! I'm 29 and I hope next ten year i will be able to have a '92 Defender 90
Awesome thank you for this video, love Land Rover's since 12 years old, my first car at 17 y/o SWB 1955 Series I, then, 3 Series III, 3 Series III Santana, 1 1964 Series IIa, and 1 1976 CKD Venezuela Range Rover Classic, currently Santana Series III 1976.
great video! and the truck looks awesome!
Congratulations on your Landy! Here's to many many happy kilometres! Loved the Vlog!
Thanks dude!
Nice one man! Many an adventure to be had!
Thanks bro! They’ll have to be adventures close to home because this thing is a spine shaker!
Very cool vid and awesome car dude, look well looked after. I suffer from the same malady. Have a tdi300 defender but have had a series crush for decades, finally pulled the trigger...Getting a Series IIa pickup in a few weeks time. Can't wait.
I have a 1987 series 3 long wheel base, they are the hottest vehicle, hard old steering. Very rough when driving, noisy, leaks oil, ughhhh...............I LOVE MY LAND ROVER so much.
Such great vehicles! I get stoked every time I need to drive it somewhere.
You should have used a heat gun, they work wonders. Congrats on the new addition to the farm. I drive a 96 Landover Defender county station wagon 110 2.5 300 tdi. Absolutely love her. She is called Maggie
Thats what I like to see, a Toyota towing a LR. Im a cruiser guy but funny enough I also had one of those LR pick-up toys and I jealous about your acquisition.
HA! Yes, I'm not completely mad. I have a toyota for an everyday driver and a LR as a passion project.
Good luck Man! It’s a thing with Landies!
Yep! fully infected stage 12 Landroveritis my friend & you're infected for life! I caught it in 1968 & about 25 series Landrovers later I've still got it more than ever.
I've gotta say that there's nowhere in this world that I believe a series Landy looks more perfectly at home than in Africa! ANY part of your incredible continent.
A very entertaining video my friend.
I have a 1985 90, it noisy and slow but I love it! Removing vinyl is easy with a hair drier. Enjoy yours.
Thanks Rob! I am smitten with it! Hopefully doing the suspension soon. I wish I knew how to get vinyl off before making this video 🤣
Love your content. Been a religious follower and saw you took a bit of a break. None of your recent content showed up in my notifications or subscription page. Luckily I checked now. Keep it up!
Thank you! I'm so glad you checked! The CZcams algorithm is a total mystery. Really appreciate the support.
Beautiful
Heart rules the head. I need to save this Landy and pamper it. New engine, weld the chassis and bulkhead. Rebuild the gearbox axles and brakes. Four new tyres and fix the leaking tank and a rewire and that’s all it needs really. I WANT THIS ONE!
I have a laundry list of things I want to do to this Landy already :) They're such fun cars to own!
Gorgeous cool kids!!
Thanks mate!
Its a sickness i agree...
Love the color. I'm a tad older then you. I almost bought a Series III in 1976. Well I just bought one and shall go pick it up like you just did. I don't have a 6 hour drive straight like you but I do have to go to NYC then back to New England. Mine needs to be put back together, so it's going on a trailer. Love British steel and aluminum.
That's fantastic Mark. I hope you'll make some videos of it going together - I'd love to see! That's a beautiful spot where you are, the landy should fit right in! All the best!
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll be very happy and frustrated together!
We really need to talk about that beautiful bench seat. I understand that they are quite common on Landys in South Africa? I for one would appreciate a few shots of how it’s put together in future because I want one so so badly!
Thanks Neil! That’s a great idea for a video. If you don’t mind I’ll use it 😊 there’s a company in town that can recover it for me and I’d like to get it done.
@@DaleReubin that would be fantastic, consider me subscribed! :)
Great land rover series,
Great vid. Any tips for buying an old landy like 1986 series III. Have no idea what to look for.
Great question. I don't know a lot but what would be important to me is looking for originality. Owners tent to modify Land Rovers, especially the series Land Rovers. Make sure it's the correct engine for the model you're looking at and that the license papers are in order. Then check for rust in the bulk head, bottoms of doors, foot wells, chassis, crossmembers etc.. Fortunately they're very simple mechanically so just listen out for weird engine or gearbox noises. Maybe I should do a video.... Hope that helps
So, I am very familiar with the condition. I have just bought a partially re-built 109 truck with the wrong engine in it which apparently runs. Me and a mate are going to save it, It was about to become a sort of hot rod with LED lights - but that ain't happening to it now. It will be my third series. So, ya.
I would like to see how you get on
Thinking about you guys, stay safe
Thanks Cole! We’re safe where we are but KZN and Guateng are really in trouble. Some communities can’t even get food. It’s a very sad and troubling time.
Hi Dale, just saw this. I looked at that very car after DJ (RIP) rebuilt it. I now see it is back in Knysna and for sale again? What happened? Finish the story?
Oh man! It was such a stuff up! They could never produce the VC1 so I could never put it into my name and get it legal on the road so I just gave it back and got a refund. Got a defender 110 now!
👍
🤙
When all your infrastructure is about 27 years old!

I'm like 99% sure that's a bakkie boet ;)
Can you braai a steak on that grill?
Hahaha!! Sadly not. If it was a series 2 then you could ☺️
