Land Rover® Series 2 109 *CUTHBERTSON*
Sellers Comments - John Brown 4x4 Ltd of Thirsk, supplier of quality, vintage Land Rovers® to customers Worldwide, is delighted to present, on behalf of a third party, this very rare and superb CUTHBERTSON Land Rover®. Built and first registered on 8th September 1958, so a "proper" series 2, requiring no TAX or MOT, the original vehicle was despatched on 12th September 1958 to SMT Sales and Service Company Limited, Carlisle. The Cuthbertson conversion was carried out in 1958, and from there it has had an interesting history and has travelled around The World at various points, prior to returning to The UK in 2016. This is a matching numbers vehicle - chassis No 151900157 engine No 151901372. Both numbers are present on the vehicle where they should be. We are assuming that the ultra low mileage of 3982 to be correct, as who would do 100,000 road miles in a vehicle like this?! As you would imagine, mechanically it sounds and drives really well. Actually, the Cuthbertson factory still functions, and they hold records of it from 1958! That said, you could and can drive this on the road, it being road registered and road legal - in fact it is currently taxed too.

Land Rover® Series 2, 109 *CUTHBERTSON*
.Sellers Comments - For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, from a private collection, Land Rover® Series 2 in Mid Grey (1959) MOT exempt Tax exempt. 2286cc petrol. Power steering. Beautifully restored several years ago. This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an incredibly rare, handsome, early restored Cuthbertson Land Rover®. It is the only one known to us currently residing in the UK - it is also a very early example from 1959 - a genuine Series 2 with twist type vent openers and stalk mounted horn. The restoration was carried out a number of years ago to a very high standard - and it still looks great - in fact the photos do not really do it justice. Suffice to say, up close the finish is stunning, inside and out. It is very clean throughout, including the under side. This vehicle is in full working order, and "on the button." It is extremely capable off road, and is particularly suited to grassland - indeed it would be ideal to show, or to use on private land - the ultimate off road toy! This vehicle would suit corporate use, or would grace any private collection of rare vehicles with a view to investment.
