In 1973 the Australian Army introduced the Series 3 Land Rover into service. The model was a strong seller in Australia in the early 1970s, although from the middle of the decade sales there declined as Japanese competition grew and the quality of components shipped from Britain fell. The Series III in all markets still offered the 2.25-litre petrol or diesel engine, with the One Ton 109 and station wagon variants of the IIA.
