A rugged classic British 4x4, which benefits from an extensive mechanical restoration and enhancement. Under the bonnet is the 2.25-litre inline-four petrol engine from the Series IIA, which drives all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission This Series I Land Rover has been treated to a sympathetic chassis and mechanical restoration, and is believed to retain its original body. The odometer shows 67,328 miles, but this is not warranted. Build year: 1955 This Series 1 was taken back to the bare original chassis for restoration, new brakes and lines were fitted throughout, Series II axles were installed, and the diffs were removed, inspected, and painted. A 1968 Series IIA engine was overhauled, topped with a reconditioned head, and fitted to the original gearbox, which was inspected while out of the vehicle and fitted with a new clutch and spigot bush. The Solex carburettor has been overhauled, the radiator was re-cored, a new water pump was fitted, and a new distributor and ignition system was wired in. The vehicle features a new wiring loom, battery, starter motor, generator, and voltage regulator. The fuel tank has been restored, and a new fuel pump and fuel lines have been fitted. Replacement parts purchased for the restoration include NOS tail lights and sidelights, Lucas fog and spotlights, new seats from Exmoor Trim, and a new canvas cover from Undercover Covers. The gauges have been refurbished, and a pair of USB ports have been added to the dash. The vehicle will be supplied with some recent invoices. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a repair is apparent on the front fenders; all seats and seat swabs have been replaced; the steering box is worn. This Series 1’s most recent maintenance was completed in January 2025 at 67,250 miles, where The Series Factory replaced the head gasket, and skimmed and rebuilt the cylinder head. Prior to this, a service was completed in October 2021, with the odometer reading 65,000 miles. The previous owner, a restoration expert, performed an oil and filter change. This Land Rover Series 1 is a well-preserved classic 4x4, which has been carefully restored and fitted with numerous period-correct components. The early body with its attractive patina is complemented by upgraded and restored mechanicals, to create a fine example of the British icon. It would make a desirable addition to any collection, and if properly cared for, should provide decades more of classic off-road enjoyment.
