Encinitas, California

California registered 1980 Land Rover Series 3 109. This very unique and original Australian 109 that was smogged and registered in California a year ago, however I have been unable to re-smog it, thus it DOES NOT come with a current passed smog test.This 109 will run smoothly on either petrol or LPG and has a switch to toggle back and forth between fuel tanks. In the last month I have gone through and replaced all of the fluids, re-built the rear passenger wheel hub, and installed a new gutter kit, as well as an electronic fuel pump. I also gave the ol Aussie a fresh garage paint job. Honestly the paint looks presentable and my neighbors like it a lot more than the nato green. The paint will not win any beauty contests, but from a few feet it looks good and gets a lot of smiles and thumbs up. The highlights of this 109: *Virtually rust free. See the photos. It was in Western Australia until at least 2009 from what I can gather and it shows. There is no rot anywhere. The window tops have a little bit of surface rust, but I think that is because the PO stored them outside. *Only 79,000 Kilometers ( ONLY 43,500 MILES ) * Legit LPG Conversion. Run this beast off off gas or propane. Super easy toggle switch between sources. *Fairey Overdrive *Strong running daily driver for me (starts first click every time and I drive it about 10 miles a day, everyday) *Roll cage added *I don't know of another Aussie 109 in California or the US
