S.III is a more conventional-looking vehicle to drive - the
dashboard looks more car-like than the Rover functional
design of the IIa with the center instrument binnacle.
They also tend to be a bit more tarted-up inside with
things like carpeting, door interiors and the like.
Mechanically, S.IIIs have a full-synchro transmission -
easier to shift but considered weaker than its IIa and
earlier counterpart. The III will also likely have
power-assisted dual-circuit brakes, start on the key rather
than with a pushbutton, and will be newer (and potentially
less abused).
All that said, I personally mich prefer the IIa to the III.
It's a ruggeder, simpler vehicle. The IIa tranny is easy to
shift once you get used to it, and the lack of plastic
makes it easier to get to things.
A lot of it's personal preference - do you want to be seen
in some plasticky Series III or a real he-person's truck -
a II or IIa? (KIDDING, FOLKS!!!!).
