1955 Land Rover Series 1

Highlights

  • Extensive recent electrical and mechanical refurbishment by a respected Land Rover specialist
  • Largely factory standard with sympathetic reliability upgrades
  • Accompanied by  specialist invoices and workshop records
  • Garage stored

The Appeal


Born from post-war necessity, the first iteration of the Landie has become one of the most iconic machines to ever roll off a British production line. Pastoral British communities quickly snapped these 4x4s up, finding them perfect for farming and groundskeeping. Their mechanical simplicity, rugged charm, and sheer endurance continue to be a winning formula - a car even the most casual layman can recognise.
This example has benefited from considerable recent investment, with extensive electrical and mechanical work carried out by respected Land Rover specialist Alex Lindsay, who has looked after the vehicle for many years. Remaining largely factory standard, it has received only sympathetic upgrades aimed at enhancing reliability and usability without compromising its authenticity.

Garage stored and accompanied by specialist workshop records, this is a handsome opportunity indeed - a venerable Land Rover that's still ready to take on the modern network.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance.
