1974 Land Rover Series III 109: Media & Production Profile
The African Explorer
Available for Film, Photography, and Promotional Events
Bring a touch of legendary endurance to your next production. This isn't just a vintage SUV; it’s a time machine with a passport full of stamps. This 1974 Land Rover Series III 109 (Suffix C) spent the majority of its life leading "Vintage Rovers Across Africa" expeditions, traversing the toughest terrain on the planet. Now calling the Pacific Northwest home, it retains every bit of that weathered, authentic "safari" character that cannot be replicated.
The Look
Finished in classic Limestone, this Series III features the iconic long-wheelbase (109") 5-door Station Wagon silhouette. It is equipped for the long haul with:
Heavy-Duty Roof Rack: Full-length and rugged, perfect for mounting gear or creating dramatic angles.
Authentic Patina: A natural finish that tells the story of decades spent in the African bush—ideal for high-definition close-ups.
Period Details: "Vintage Rovers Across Africa" decals and period-correct technical specifications.
Classic Fascia: The unmistakable Series III front end featuring grille-integrated headlights.
Versatility for Production
Whether you are filming a rugged outdoor adventure, a period-correct 1970s or 1980s piece, or a high-end fashion shoot in the misty PNW woods, this Rover provides an unbeatable aesthetic. As a Station Wagon model, this vehicle is particularly "film-friendly." The additional alpine windows and side glass allow for superior natural interior lighting and offer flexible camera angles for "car-to-car" shots or interior dialogue scenes.
