This Series 1 Land Rover is a fine example of the iconic 4x4, which presents in good order and now benefits from the fitment of a larger replacement engine. Under the bonnet now sits a replacement Holden 3.0-litre (186cu.) inline-six, which sends power to all four wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. The odometer indicates 29,690 miles, however this is not warranted. This Series 1 88” has been with its current owner for four years. This classic Land Rover is finished in matte green paintwork offset by a polished metal roof and rear bulkhead, over a colour-coded green interior with matching vinyl-trimmed seats. It rides on its correct 16-inch body-coloured steel wheels, complete with a bonnet-mounted spare wheel, all of which are shod in matching Grandtour tyres. The car features single-cab roof which provides pickup truck utility, and also features a folding front windscreen and supplementary VDO gauges, including charging voltage, a tachometer, and an oil pressure gauge. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. The green paintwork is reported by the seller to be in generally good condition, with some peeling on the rear door latches. There are chips and marks and the odd dent around the car, which are in keeping with the car’s age, usage, and rugged character. Inside, the cabin presents well. While the hardwearing vinyl seats present in very good order, there is wear elsewhere, including corrosion on some of the instrument binnacles and general scuffs and scratches. The steering wheel is wrapped in a leather cover, and the condition of the original wheel underneath is unknown. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. This Series 1’s latest service was carried out during January 2022 by the current owner. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, and an air filter replacement. Prior to this, the car was serviced in January 2021 and January 2020, both of which were routine engine oil and filter services which were performed by the current owner. This wonderful, lightly modified Land Rover Series 1 is a charming example of the marque’s iconic and original ‘go anywhere’ 4x4, presented in very good order and in eminently usable condition. Having been maintained by its current owner and now featuring a more powerful inline-six, this delightful Series 1 would make a superb addition to any Land Rover enthusiast’s collection, and will no doubt turn heads wherever it is driven.
