A hard-working group of recovery rovers on call at Muliro Rd in Eldoret, Kenya, captured by a roving reporter. Still going strong at over 40 years old, these 109″ pickup cab series 3s have been outfitted with reinforced hook supports, hand-operated chain hoists, reflector strips, and emergency lights. One of them may have been retrofitted with a tdi engine, judging by the Defender style front end, and another has a spare gearbox waiting in the rear tub.

The Series 3 contained some refinements such as syncro gears, a revised dashboard, taller seat backs, and sturdy door hinges. It is distinguished from Series 2 and 2a by the headlights placed out on the wings instead of in the centre on the grille, and from the late 2a by a moulded plastic grille rather than the traditional wire one.
