1958 Land Rover Series I

This Land Rover Series I 88” is a well-presented example of the iconic classic British 4x4, in a lesser-seen colour scheme which has been upgraded with a slant-six engine. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre six-cylinder, which sends power to all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates 32,434 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1958 This Series I 88” is finished in a bold shade of burgundy over a body-coloured cabin, featuring white vinyl upholstery for the three seats, and grey carpeting. It rides on 16-inch steel wheels in gloss white, fitted with Firestone Ground Grip tyres. The specification includes a bonnet-mounted spare wheel carrier, sliding side windows, a folding windscreen, a three-spoke ‘banjo’ steering wheel, Jaeger gauges, a high and low range gearbox, and electric windscreen wipers. This example has been upgraded with the 3.0-litre slant-six engine, as well as Autogage oil pressure and water temperature gauges. The seller notes that there is only one original ignition key included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The last maintenance was performed in October 2023, which consisted of a full service. Other notable maintenance includes the brakes being replaced. This Land Rover Series I 88” is an eye-catching and well-presented example of the iconic classic British 4x4, which has been enhanced with the fitment of a slant-six engine.
