Series III improvements are easy to spot thanks to the headlamps being moved across to the front wings and an updated stylised plastic radiator grille. The updated and more safety conscious interior and all synchromesh gearbox acknowledged that the opposition was catching up, and the arrival of overdrive catered for those who needed their Land Rovers for serious on-road work. It was during the Series III production in 1979 that the Rover V8 engine (in low compression form) was added to the range. It was export-only at first, but came to the UK to pick up a small but loyal fan base.
