British Northwest are offering quite an exceptional 109
2-door or 3-door machine Currently offered in one of the following
configurations: 1.
Full-length hard top with three doors, 2. Full length soft top with
two doors and tailgate, 3. Pickup truck with open bed, 4. Pickup
truck with canvas back, 5. Camper with elevating roof. This
exceptional machine is one of the many superlative machines which is
characteristic of the caliber of workmanship for which British
Northwest is so well known. Formerly under restoration for a
grateful client who died suddenly, we have completely rebuilt the
entire drive line including engine, gear box, axles, and added all
new road springs, shock absorbers, a new wiring harness, and new or
rebuilt engine peripherals throughout. Much of the body work has
been completed and is now ready for blocking and painting. A number
of the body components have been pre-sprayed in the original color,
which is the factory Marine Blue. The vehicle is entirely correct
and proper throughout, with all original components such as SOLEX
carburetor, LUCAS dynamo and charging system, SMITHS and JAEGER
instrumentation, etc. The sheet metal work is exceptionally correct
and straight, with only a light skimming of plastic here and there.
Rust is minimal and the entire machine is destined for bringing back
to showroom original condition. Land-Rover dubbed itself "The
world's most versatile vehicle and this is one of Land-Rover's most
versatile machines. Long enough to camp in and suited for everything
from the tropics to the arctic, this Land-Rover is easily capable of
soldiering on well into the twenty-first century. This is also from
what I consider Land-Rover's golden years: the machines featuring
the banjo spoke steering wheel, dual screen wiper motors, elephant
hide seats...the height of Spartan simplicity and invincible
durability. The long wheel base offers the promise of an exceptional
ride.
