Descrizione
A Beautifully restored Land Rover Series 1, 80". A fully reconditioned 1951 Land Rover, made in
Solihull, England. It was exported to Sydney, Australia. Where it worked until falling into
disrepair. It was repatriated to the UK in the last 10 years, where it was rebuilt by a fanatical
private classic car enthusiast.
Taking advice from people in the trade, who knew these early Land Rovers, the owner was able
to achieve a fantastic standard. The original chassis was repaired, galvanized, and painted in the
correct shade of deep bronze green. The original bulkhead was also repaired and painted at the
same time. All by Tom Pickford and his team at Vintage LR Co.
A new complete Body kit was bought from CKD body shop. And the original 1600cc engine was rebuilt by Tom
Pickford to the same standards that were guided by the Reborn program.
Finished with the first owners name and location (Hall near Canberra, Act) and tare weight, this
80” Land Rover stands out from the crowd. Having completed 250 odd miles, this is a freshly restored car ready to use and enjoy.
Comes with a comprehensive folder of receipts and history, photos and LRO magazine article.
Buy with confidence. This vehicle is ready to use, and with the 75th anniversary coming up this year there will be many events to enjoy.
