1950 LAND ROVER SERIES 1 *EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE*
Sellers Comments his is my lovely series one and as a Series one Owners Club Member I have enjoyed driving and attending rallies in her. She is kept in a heated Garage away from the elements. Have seen lots of these on eBay described as original when they are in fact no more than an over restored collection of Land Rover spares with an old Chassis number, This is an opportunity to acquire a genuine example which can be enjoyed as it is or sympathetically restored to perfection. Registration is original issued 3rd May 1950 in Northern Ireland and imported back to England on 9th Jan 1951. (R0611-0746) I have the original R.F. 60 Registration Book. Heritage Trust Certificate and lots of invoices This vehicle has its original 1949 1.6 petrol engine (Number 06110998) which starts 1st time every time. Chassis has some repairs as they all do if original, the bulkhead is superb with no corrosion. Started life as a blue Pickup but obviously repainted over the years. I have replaced various items on this Vehicle which were worn out or unserviceable such as the seat bases, Canvas door flaps and Tilt but I Have all of the original parts boxed up and these will go with the Vehicle.
