1955 Land Rover Series 1 - original usable car SOLD
Good points:
Original 2 litre petrol engine fires up "on the button" and runs very sweetly
SU carburettor and pancake air filter
SU electric fuel pump
Alternator conversion 2015
Gearbox nice and quiet
New clutch fitted 2017, plus front propshaft and UJs replaced at same time
Brakes overhauled recently
Recent full tilt canvas roof and seat covers
Exhaust renewed in recent years
Chassis is in good solid condition
Suspension and steering in good order
Body panels have patina but reasonably straight for a Series 1
A very tatty but straight truck cab roof also comes with the car.
Not so good points:
Bulkhead has been patched over the years, and whilst solid, might benefit from some considered restoration work
Oil pressure switch required
Hoops for canvas tilt slightly "home made"!
Overall a lovely solid Series 1 which could give many more years of fun as it is, or alternatively could form the basis of a full on restoration, with the benefit of solid mechanicals already in place.
Please call the owner Colin for more information or to arrange to view. Car is located near Thorverton in Mid Devon.
