1952 Land Rover Series I

This Land Rover Series 1 80” is an iconic classic British 4x4, which has benefited from some restorative maintenance. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre inline-four, driving all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 98,635 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1952 This Series 1 80” is finished in light green with an off-white hard-top roof, over a green vinyl interior. It rides on a set of 16-inch body-coloured steel wheels with Haulmax ATT304 tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, a two-speed transfer case, a bonnet-mounted spare wheel, an electric fuel pump and a digital thermofan switch in the cooling system. The vehicle will be supplied with its owner’s manual, a workshop manual, and a collection of invoices. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: it has had a professional respray; there are scratch marks/chips to two painted steel wheels; small chips to the spare steel wheel; very light scratching to the original glass; a light scratch on the inside of the drop-down tailgate, some scratches in a small location on the roof; new seats were fitted during the restoration; some very light marks and some few small tears on the underside of the seat bases; the brakes are new and therefore need some bedding in. In April 2025 at 98,498 miles, Artefact Motor Co fitted a reconditioned steering box, bled the brakes, and adjusted the clutch. Parts replaced during previous refurbishment works included the brake drums and shoes, radiator cap, tie rod ends, rocker gasket, fan switch, wiring harness, ignition light switch, fuse box, carburettor, exhaust, water pump, rear differential pinion seal, front output seal, top cover gasket, side cover gasket and oil sump gasket. This Land Rover Series 1 80” is an iconic classic British 4x4, which has benefited from some restorative maintenance. Presented with a quintessential colour scheme, a lesser-seen hard-top rear body section, and instantly recognisable styling, it would make a solid addition to any assembly of iconic classics, and a characterful companion for weekend drives, visits to classic car shows, and off-road adventures alike.
