Land Rover Series 1 - 80 inch - 1951

Sellers Comments Early landrover 80" in great running order but not concourse. I've had this for a few years, most of which have been spent in the workshop making it a good safe drive. The brakes have been fully replaced from pads to slave cylinder, master cylinder, pipe work and he addition of a servo. It now stops as it should considering the engine. The engine is a rover 3.5 and runs well with no leaks or smoke. The ignition has been fully revamped with new electronic distributor, leads, plugs and coil. It comes with a Kenlow fan, new after market seats, full new stainless steel exhaus from the manifolds onwards. Chassis, bulkhead etc all solid. It comes with door tops and canvas roof but are tatty. The winch is a Warn Tabour with remote control and is as new, this is not included in the auction but is included in the buy it now price. Any inspection welcome

1951 Land Rover Series 1 80inch.


Sellers Comments - For sale here is a charming little 80" Series 1. She is tax and MOT exempt, starts on the button and drives as a series 1 should. This is a very early and unmolested example that has many original parts and comes with a fair amount of history. The early type bulkhead and instrument binnacle are of particular note. The first date of manufacture was 1951 and it is believed that she was sent from the factory directly to the civil defence and served there until 1979. The car shows evedence of having been refurbished before release as was the norm in those days. She appears to have had a replacement engine fitted by the civil defence and the mileage reset on release as the first date of registration is 1979 with a build date of 1951, and the current indicated mileage of 47200 is substantiated by the numerous MOT certificates that come with the vehicle. Previous owners have included a long term Series 1 club member and the vehicle recently spent time on display at the museum of flight in Newquay, Cornwall. Having owned and restored several later Land Rovers I decided to purchase her last year with a view to preserving and restoring her. This is the first series 1 that I have owned and unfortunately due to my height, I am unable to drive her comfortably so I've decided to let her go. In summary, this is an honest tidy and original, usable early series 1 with many hard to find parts. She is in very good condition and with a little fettling would make a fantastic basis for an A1 car. Please message for any further details or to arrange a viewing.

Land Rover Series 1 One, 1951, 80" Petrol, TAX & MOT exempt Fantastic engine, solid chassis & new battery

Sellers Comments - Rare & Collectable 1951 Series 1 Land Rover, with 1997cc petrol engine and manual gearbox. The chassis is absolutely solid as is the bodywork, if a little untidy in places. I bought this car as a mild restoration project (aiming to repaint it in green, and fit a new canvas hood and door tops). However, my plans have changed so it is up for sale.
