Highlights

Rare 9-seater crew cab with canvas tilt
Recently passed roadworthiness test, valid until August 2028
Previous owner invoices retained

The Appeal

It's fair to say that the classic Land Rover is one of the most recognisable vehicles ever built, and these fine machines have come in all manner of variants; some rarer than others. This example is a 9-seater crew cab with canvas tilt, taking advantage of the machine's long wheelbase to offer plenty of space and spartan bench seating in the rear.

This 1977 example, finished in olive green, presents a lovely honest patina that suits its working heritage. Purchased by the current owner in 2023 and used as a daily summer vehicle, it's a versatile and highly evocative all-terrain machine. It recently passed its French roadworthiness test with only a few minor points noted, and now awaits its new owner eagerly.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for indicative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, and that's why vehicles registered in the UK and listed for sale on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as a result of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to assist you. The presence or absence of a label does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist. For more details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
