The Series III is a working vehicle and makes no bones about it. The vinyl seats are much maligned but, if they’re in good condition, they’re not too comfortable unless you really go far. Welly boot sized pedals and the long, spindly gearlever give the Series III a real tractor like feel, while no carpets, sound deadening or door trims make it a noisy place to spend time as well but that only adds to the charm.
Well, there is a certain appeal to riding sideways in the back of a Land Rover, specialist for kids, who usually insist on it. But subject an adult friend to a long journey on a side facing bench seat especially in the clamorous, bare metal surroundings of a hard top and you might not be too popular. And with four up in the back of an 88, you’ll lose next to all your cargo space. A roof rack is a good ally in such circumstances.
