Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show 2025 on Saturday the 22nd of March - Sunday the 23rd of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
An original November 1949 Series I from 24 years current ownership
Matching engine and chassis numbers. Original 1. 6-litre engine and believed to be the original gearbox
Ex-MOD, the original registration number was BOA 629A and one of those plates accompany the car
Some chassis restoration work, brakes all round, new rear springs, engine (bored and sleeved) and gearbox reconditioned during current ownership
Some history. Driven by our vendor to our offices to photograph and he reported that it started on the button and that he enjoyed the drive
Looking like a 75 year old Land Rover should, sporting the scars of a few farmyard skirmishes, with its fair share of 'laughter lines', but reliable and mechanically good. To restore or not to restore? That is the question
