Externally, the Series III introduces a new front-end treatment with a revised lighting layout in a styled fender-front recess, which is complemented by a new plastic radiator grille.
The interior is updated with a revised instrument pack placed in front of the driver, and a new top roll to the facia. The Series III features an all-synchromesh gearbox and more powerful brakes with the long-wheelbase, with the 109 inch versions receiving servo assistance. In a bumper year for Land Rover, the 750 000th Land Rover is produced, the Range Rover receives the RAC Dewar award for outstanding technical achievement, a great car-journey begins in Alaska, and the Land Rover Series III is launched.

The Rover-designed two-speed transfer box shares a common case with the four-speed manual gearbox and has a vacuum-operated centre differential. The Range Rover features permanent four-wheel drive to cope with the power and torque output of the V8 engine. Power comes from the new all-alloy, 3.5-litre petrol engine – which gives the big vehicle a top speed of nearly 160 km/h. The vehicle’s suspension is by long-travel coil springs - endowing the vehicle with good road manners as well as remarkable articulation for off-road agility. In June 1970, Land Rover launches a major new model line – the Range Rover – set to become the core of the brand in the future.
