A rare Land Rover, restored to a pristine condition.

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Cool & Vintage carefully restores cars to their former glory. The team of experts specializes in retro Land Rovers – we even wrote about one of their stunning builds here. Given a new lease on life, the team’s cars also have a range of features that encourage off-road exploration and cater to the more adventurous at heart. Now, the vintage car specialists have done it again with a 1983 Land Rover Series 3 SUV.

Introduced in the ‘70s, this series provided a solution to get back in the game and surpass other cars in the same class with various improvements on the older models. In 1979, a Range Rover 3.5-liter V8 engine and an upgraded transmission followed. This custom build opens a modern chapter in the story of the rare Land Rover. Painstakingly restored to a better-than-new condition, the car comes with four-liter V8 engine and other upgraded parts. The interior boasts black leather upholstery and elegant detailing, while the exterior now features a Tangerine Orange paint finish. The future looks bright for this Land Rover.
