*Some history
*Complete restoration
*Engine reported to be excellent
The collectable status of early Land Rovers has been strong for many years and within that group the earliest models often remain the most highly prized. MPH is pleased to offer this early example that has been fully restored: today the bodywork, Bronze Green paint and wheels/tyres are described as very good and the interior (seats front and rear trimmed in green vinyl) is also said to be very good. A canvas tilt is fitted. The engine is vendor-assessed as excellent for starting and running while the running gear is reported as being very good, as is the electrical system. Useful fitments include a spare wheel, power take-off on the rear bumper, mechanical governor and a pulley wheel to power a saw bench. A superb example of one of the earlier Series 1s featuring the lights behind the grille.
