1950 Land Rover Series I 80"

SOLD £4,815

Full restoration required; just like a big box of Meccano....

This 1950 'lights behind grille' 80" was delivered new to Australia by the looks. A plaque on the dashboard would suggest a military career and at some time it has had the typical Ozzy engine transplant - in this case a six-cylinder GM unit by the looks.

The chassis looks eminently restorable and it comes with an original type engine in the back - whether the original to the car we cannot say.

The steering box and column have been replaced, the mounting of which is decidedly dodgy which will require replacement during restoration. The factory body plate showing the chassis number is on the bulkhead. The only paperwork with this vehicle is the all impotant NOVA number to show all duties have been paid.
