Mechancally Restored 2015-16



Built in 1953 this outstanding example of the rarer 80" chassis Series One Land Rover offers a unique opportunity to purchase an unmolested example with just 26, 988 miles, purchased by the current owner in early 2015, at this point the owner undertook a mechanical inspection of the vehicle and set about some minor works to ensure the an MOT test could be obtained to allow him to use and enjoy the vehicle whilst deliberating over a more in depth restoration,

After visiting a number of local Land Rover specialists to discuss the proposed plan of action the owner wasn’t convinced with their understanding of the restoration he had planned, which would be a highly sympathetic restoration involving preserving the original body whilst insuring the mechanical aspects of the vehicle were attended to using genuine parts sourced via marque specialist John Craddock, the decision was eventually made to enlist a local Rolls Royce & Bentley restoration company specializing in vintage and post war vehicles, having prepared a number of vehicles in the owners collection to concours winning standards, the finished results speaking for themselves, the final touches were added by restoring the correct bottle jack, tool roll and starting handle, renewing the canvas hood in the correct khaki coloured fabric and carrying out a final detail to renovate the exterior paintwork whilst retaining the character of this 64 year old vehicle.

During the time of ownership the current keeper has also set about detailing the history of the vehicle, managing to speak with two of the previous keepers and establishing a timeline of ownership back to 1985 through the hands of 4 individuals and a Marque Specialist, who in 1996 rebuilt the original engine to ensure the originality remained intact, we would highly recommend viewing this vehicle to appreciate the time and effort that has gone into the restoration and to take a look through the highly detailed history folder accompanying the vehicle.
