The seller offers for sale a 1983 Land Rover 88 Serie IV, presented as a hardtop model with diesel power. This example is fitted with a 2,286 cc four-cylinder diesel engine paired with a manual gearbox. The car has undergone a restoration, including fresh paintwork, renewed underside protection, and interior refurbishment.
The exterior has been repainted, with all previous rust removed and the lower body and chassis restored. The body panels now present straight and clean, with the professional extending to the underside. The restoration has returned the Land Rover to a presentable and usable state, ready to be enjoyed or used as a collector’s vehicle.
The interior has been recently retrimmed, with the upholstery redone just one year ago and unused since. The fabric retains its factory-style appearance. The dashboard and controls present neatly, with no missing or broken components.
Mechanically, the vehicle is reported to be solid. Maintenance service was recently carried out, including an oil and filter change. The gearbox shifts smoothly without unwanted noises, and the engine runs without smoke or abnormal sounds. Lights, indicators, and brakes are all functional. While the vehicle does not currently have valid registration documents, the restoration has ensured that it is roadworthy from a technical perspective.
The 88-inch wheelbase model combines compact dimensions with the practical versatility of a hardtop configuration. Its restoration, attention to detail, and strong mechanical condition make it a suitable candidate for further use or preservation. While lacking official registration documents, it remains an attractive project for enthusiasts familiar with historic registrations or export procedures.
Noted imperfections are minimal due to the restoration. The only significant limitation is the absence of registration papers, which will require resolution by the buyer. Minor detailing corrections may be undertaken depending on the buyer’s intended use, but overall, the vehicle is described as ready to drive, with fresh paint, new upholstery, and solid mechanics.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
