1971 October: The series III Land-Rover can be identified by the plastic radiator grille, neater door hinges and simpler (possibly weaker) bonnet hinges. Inside, the dashboard is plastic with a degree of padding. Mechanically, the gearbox has synchromesh on all four forward gears; it is said to be weaker than the SIIA gearbox.
Ireland: SWB station wagon
The model range is much as for SIIA: 88" and 109" wheelbases, soft-top, hard-top, tray (ute), and station wagons.
Modified: SWB hard-top on a LWB
