The vehicle

The British Army's workhorse.

Land Rover built the Series III from 1971 to 1985 as the workhorse of the British Army and a familiar sight across the Commonwealth. Simple, rugged and endlessly repairable, it earned its reputation for going anywhere and getting the job done.

The FFR, or Fitted For Radio, variant was wired and equipped to carry battlefield communications, with a heavy-duty 24-volt electrical system, screening against interference, and mountings for radio sets and the tall whip aerials that mark it out at a glance.

Ours is a 1984 Series III FFR in NATO green, a genuine ex-British Army vehicle carrying authentic markings, with whip aerials and a period radio set fitted. It reads instantly as British Army, and we can re-mark it in-house to suit any unit, formation or era from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Where ours served

From the army driving school.

A former British Army driver with the Klassic Garage military Land Rover fleet

This particular Series III FFR began its service with the British Army driving school, one of the vehicles a generation of soldiers first learned on, before being deployed to various theatres in its Fitted For Radio role.

There is a nice symmetry to where it ended up. Klassic Garage's Chris learned to drive in a Series III just like this one in the 1980s during his own British Army service, before going on to become a tank driver.

So when this Land Rover is on set or on location, it is in hands that know exactly what it is and how it was used. That first-hand knowledge, and full military advisory if you need it, comes with every hire.
