The Appeal
The Land Rover is so synonymous with off-roading and pastoral Britain that even the most disinterested of laymen knows what it is, what it's for and what it looks like. These cars are one of those essential, keystone classics that everybody needs to drive once - a fixture that's impossible to ignore and, for many, hard to resist - sitting amongst the Mini, the Volkswagen Bus and the like as a bona-fide pop culture icon.
This 1987 example comes to us in fine fettle, following a comprehensive restoration. The original bulkhead and chassis have been meticulously restored and upgraded, while elsewhere we can see work done for a complete engine rebuild, new doors, panels, and a respray. The braking system has been upgraded to discs all around, and the bespoke stainless steel exhaust system ensures the V8 engine sounds as powerful as it performs.
With a Land Rover Heritage Certificate and original log book from its first keeper - West Midlands Police - this vehicle is a unique and compelling opportunity to take on a true British classic. 20240518_113545 Ian Swain.jpg2.87 MB
