1957 Land Rover Series 1 88 SOLD

For sale through AB 4x4s Cleveland is this 1957 Land Rover Series 1, 88 inch rebuild and will simply be as close to pristine as you can get.

It has been stripped right down to the bare chassis, shot blasted and rebuilt using new parts where necessary including a brand new bulkhead.

It has had a suspension and brake overhaul, new clutch, reconditioned radiator etc. etc. The body panels were repainted prior to assembly using the correct etch primer and body cappings re-galvanised.

It has a new wiring loom professionally fitted, new seats and most nuts and bolts are new many being stainless steel.

This comes as a soft top with 3 new front seats. We only use Exmoor trim for these high quality rebuilds.
As you can see in the pictures it has received a professional 2 pack glossy bronze green top coat.

Engine is quite unbelievably a very early 1. 6 worth these days in excess of £5k. It runs remarkably well and starts as soon as you turn the key. Sounds very quiet indeed on tick over.

If you are looking for a quality rebuild without paying silly money then, quite simply, this is the one!
We are selling this on behalf of a customer who had around 70% of the work undertaken by Nexus 4x4 with massive bills and photographs of the rebuild to show.

Delivery can be arranged.
