1986 Land Rover Santana Series III Diesel. We call him "Carlos Santana." Great condition for a 29 year old vehicle. Newer dark green paint with contrasting cream tropical roof and matching rims. Imported from Salamanca Spain via the UK. Left Hand Drive 4 cyl 2.25l diesel engine w/ 4 speed manual transmission and vented tropical roof.Short wheelbase ("88) 7 passenger station wagon model with padded split bench seat in front fold down seats in rear. Swing away rear door (3 doors total). Full time 4 wheel drive (selectable low / high) spare tire mounted inside on rear bulkhead (behind driver's compartment). Odometer shows 38605+ kms but total mileage is believed to be 138605 kms (83163 mi)..that's only 2900 miles per year! There are minor dings and cracks in the paint. Body panels are in good condition frame (one cross member is dented) and bulkhead are solid with some surface rust. Passenger footwell has some repairable corrosion. The engine is smoky on start up (common in these basic 2.25l 4cyl diesel motors) but runs strong. Carlos is loud and bumpy as most old Landy's are! Not a speed demon..happily plugs along at 55mph. The interior is in great shape for its age (some cracks in the original dashboard).New exhaust brakes fuel injectors and starter.Fully titled and registered. Spanish VIN (VSELBAAG2AZ103574) was not accepted by eBay Motors but it's legitimate and stamped right on the vehicle data plate on the driver's side in addition to the frame as seen in the photos. Well cared for..lived in a dry environment for most of his life. Currently resides in Delaware near I-95 30 min South of Philadelphia and 1 hour North of Baltimore. Turns heads at stop lights and always generates a conversation. Bought a Landy Pick-up so Carlos needs a new family. Call Brad with questions (302-377-4479). More pictures available via email.
