New carpets, door/window cards and seat swabs throughout
New 12 months MOT with no advisories
The Appeal
Land Rover finally replaced its leaf sprung 'Series' range in 1983, with the introduction of the 'Ninety' and 'One Ten' models. This was the most significant revision of the original Land Rover concept thus far, with slightly increased wheelbases along with a new interior and range of new engines, including Rover's compact, alloy V8.
This 1987 One Ten is a sought-after V8 twelve-seater factory station wagon. It has undergone light restoration over the last twelve months and presents superbly throughout as a result. Most Land Rovers of this vintage have been worked into the ground, but this one has clearly been cherished, and the recent work has made it one of the smartest examples around.
The vendor has just had a 12 month MOT with no advisories, so it'll be ready for its next custodian to enjoy as we move into the colder, more Land Rover-friendly months.
