Lot 34 - A 1949 Land Rover Series I 80 inch - 10/04/2019 For Sale by Auction
The auction will start at 12 noon with viewing from 9:00am on the morning of the sale. Entry by catalogue only.
Lot 34 - A 1949 Rover Land Rover Series I 80 inch light utility, registration number 178 UYE, chassis number R06101566, engine number 06108408, green. Intended for small scale production, the US Army Jeep inspired Land Rover would defy all reason, taking management completely by surprise finding mass appeal which would mean the Land Rover remaining in production in various improved guises until the 21st century, becoming an icon of motoring in the process. R06101566 is an early and rare headlight behind the grille, ring pull gearbox 80 inch Series I, which was built in September 1949 (see Land Rover Owners Club dating certificate) and despatched to Land Rover agent Regent Motors, Stuart Street, Melbourne as one of the first three Land Rovers to be exported to the Victoria area of Australia, where it was registered for the road in early 1950. The first owner a Mr Bill McKenzie from Victoria retained the vehicle until 1960. There would be three subsequent custodians between 1960 and 2012 all residing in the Victoria area until our vendor acquired it in 2012 and repatriated it to the UK in 2013. Prior to our vendor's ownership the Land Rover was sympathetically restored over a ten year period using original parts, including the engine, gearbox, suspension and axles. The bulkhead and chassis were found to be in good condition and the aluminium body still retains a beautifully original patination. This charming Series I will be offered for auction with a number of spare parts, workshop manuals, a history file containing the dating certificate confirming matching numbers, receipts and a written history of all previous owners and background history of its life in Australia. R06101566 is a very original early Series I with continuous known history and as such would be a great addition to any collection. V5C, MOT and tax exempt
£18000-20000 + 13. 2% buyer’s premium, with a minimum buyer’s premium of £96 (including 20% VAT)
