1953 1952 Land Rover Series One 1 80" For Sale

Here we have a lovely example of a 1952 model year Land Rover Series One 80” which I have sympathetically rebuilt to a high standard restoring and reutilising as many original parts as possible if they have been in a serviceable condition. This vehicle has matching numbers and retains its original engine and gearbox.

I have always tried to maintain as much originality as possible on all the restorations I have undertaken over the years. Preferring to clean, check and reuse a nut and bolt rather than replacing it for a new one has always been my preferred option. Sheradized nuts, bolts and washers have been replaced using remanufactured items to the correct specification.

Mechanically the engine has been completely rebuilt using oversized pistons rings and bearing shells. The block and cranked machined to corrected specifications. Cylinder head overhauled with replacement valves and guides. The engine also benefits from a reconditioned Solex carburettor and the correct distributor for the year. Gearbox and transfer box overhauled replacing any bearings and seals as required. The same has been done to the axles with replacement brake cylinders, new copper pipes and remanufactured master cylinder.

Electrically the vehicle has a completely new wiring loom made to the original specification. All the lights have been replaced and indicators fitted in a discreet manner to add safety on today’s roads.

Externally the vehicle has been painted using a two pack product to the correct colour having a dull sheen to create the look of age. This in contrast to wheels in gloss and a new hood really adds character to this Land Rover.

Internally the vehicle benefits from a full set of seats manufactured to original specifications in the correct material. The steering wheel has been reconditioned to a high standard. The dashboard retains a look of originality and character.

It was inspired by the wartime Jeep and the version most prized by aficionados is the Series I model (which accounted for the first 10 years of production). Thanks to its ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the ...
