1952 Series One 80in soft top +alloy bulkhead For Sale

MOTODROME ARE CLASSIC LAND ROVER SPECIALISTS – SEE WEBSITE FOR FULL STOCK


Motodrome are pleased to offer this charming 1952 Land Rover Series 1 80in softtop, in 7 seater configuration

An original UK car, this one is fitted with 2000cc IoE engine, the rare aluminium bulkhead, a matching set of 600x16 tyres and rear bench seats.

As you can see, this one is in the bare Birmabrite. It was acquired by the last owner, a serious Series 1 enthusiast, in 2017. Like many Series 1’s, it was sound, original, but had terrible paintwork. He set to removing the years of poor paint back to the bare metal with a view to a full respray, but having stripped it to the metal, decided it looked rather good like that, (helped by the alloy bulkhead) so left it as is. As we've been given a selection of old pictures showing it painted (badly) I have to say I concur with his view.

It’s fitted with a very healthy 2. 0 petrol engine, and the correct type gearbox and axles.

Odometer reading 4000 miles (which is clearly in correct and hence should be disregarded).

Previous owner tells us it’s an ex War Department vehicle.

Drives uncannily well for an 80in, with good steering, ride and brakes. Ready to use and enjoy as is, or paint it if you must!

On our own website, you’ll find our usual 2 videos: a walkaround appraisal, and driving impressions.

In every respect this is regarded as a defender but in 1984 there were no Defenders only 90's 110's and 127's I've owned this car for about 14+ years and even now when I get behind the wheel it makes me smile. When I originally bought the car it had a normally aspirated 2. 5 diesel, it had been run on veg oil or bio ...

The Land Rover was a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm. 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 ...
