1949 Landrover series 1 80" SOLD

Welcome to the sale of my lovely little 1949 80" Landrover series 1 'lights behind the grille'. built in September 1949 it was then exported to Australia and first registered early in 1950. 64 years later It was then repatriated from Australia in 2013 by its previous owner, and being from such a dry climate, has therefore never been welded and retains its original chassis and bulkhead in spotless condition along with their matching serial numbers.

Prior to being bought over to the UK is had a full mechanical restoration and was aesthetically left alone in order to preserve its patinated finish which personally I love!

It still has its original 1600cc square sump petrol engine, as well as the early type 'ring-pull' gearbox, and the axles are correct too.

A recent change of circumstances forces the sale of this increasingly rare and very endearing vehicle - otherwise I would definitely be keeping it. I have tried to highlight the main characteristics and some of the lovely original features but I'm sure I have left lots out so if you would like any more information/ photos please don't hesitate to contact me
