GENUINE barn find and so what you see is what you get. Rare
Series 1 diesel, 1957 and believed to have been registered at new to the
Belgian Air Force. Hence it began as a 4x2 and not the usual 4x4! At some stage
during it's life, someone has made it into a 4-wheel drive by making the front
axle live. I guess you could easily "reverse" this process. Only
about 2 months ago, we had her puffing, panting and blowing some good diesel
smoke and so she will run with time and love. Everything is there (somewhere in
the sheds!) front wings, front panel, doors, windscreen, hard top, seats etc.
Hard top is without glass. So, a real find. Bulkhead a touch iffy on the
offside but I have seen a lot worse (see photos) and the chassis is actually
not bad. For restoration. Just stating the obvious! Great opportunity.

The Land Rover Defender is an off-road vehicle produced under this name by the British manufacturer, Land Rover, since 1991. However, the vehicle is the direct heir of the first Land Rover that made its debut in 1948. The first prototype was built by the British automaker in 1947 and it was designed for the army. This iconic car was improved over the years and it has been known for generations as a national treasure.
