1955 Land Rover Series 1 86" SOLD

For sale my Land Rover Series 1 dating from 1955. I've owned this lovely landy for 6 years, but due to storage issues and lack of time to drive it, I'm reluctantly selling.
This isn't one for the purists, the engine is from a Series 2, so it's a 21/ 4 petrol, and the gearbox/ transfer box is from a Defender. That said, it's a lot more driveable than a standard one, more power from a very smooth engine, and 5 speed all synchro gearbox!
It also has the larger wheels with Avon tyres, and I have 5 spare wheels and tyres that go with the sale, so you'll never be short of rubber.
Exmoor hood in perfect condition, with a full set of metal hoops.
Bodywork is excellent, all straight panels in military drab green.
Original chassis and bulkhead in good condition, just some flaking paint in parts and some surface rust, but totally sound.
Brakes have just been bled through and all working fine, brand new clutch master and slave cylinders (yes, hydraulic) just been fitted. All ready to go to a good home.
Great to drive as it is, or as a solid base for restoring to original condition if desired.
Some spares, including a smiths heater go with it.
Very cheap to insure, road tax and mot exempt.
