Chassis to fit the Series 3 vehicle. Expertly built as a production chassis this is a direct swap for your original. The chassis has the 1 Ton twin height suspension mounts and the factory modification to allow prop shaft clearance when riding on the raised position. Fitted with oil cooler mounts, removable gear box cross member and a tie rod bracket. This was used to stop the engine from disappearing into the radiator when throwing the vehicle from a Hercules transport plane - which comes in very useful when dropping in at your local supermarket for some Asparagus! The chassis comes galvanized as standard, with chassis bushes fitted, all holes are drilled and tapped UNF after galvanizing. Chassis are available as Truck / Pick Up (2/3 door) or Station Wagon (5 door).

When we first approached them back in 2005 they were keen to listen and explore all options. This lead to three very individual Defender based race cars that dominated podiums across Europe in Trophy raid and winch challenge events from 2006 to 2015. These cars also attended events in the USA and Africa where again they showed their pedigree taking podium positions.
We are proud to work with Richards and still use their superb chassis’ to this day on tow cars, show cars and on some of our race cars. They are simply the best Landrover chassis money can buy.
