This very nice little Series I
80-inch
Land-Rover is offered only as a restoration project to be completed
through British Northwest Land-Rover Company. It is in unusually
fine original condition with few exceptions, chiefly that the canvas
top is not original or correct. Aside from that, this machine is
correct and complete in every respect, right down to the original
factory SOLEX carburetor, LUCAS generator and electrical system and
all factory instrumentation and controls. Insofar as we have been
able to determine the Land-Rover has all original sheet metal, its
original and superlative chassis and dash
(firewall) with no penetrating rust whatsoever, original seats,
doors, factory original road wheels, original steering
wheel....everything, in a word.
It is a true "barn find", having been stored inside a dry shop in
Port Angeles, Washington, where it was retired approximately 20
years ago. When we received it the cylinder head had been removed
and we found that one of the exhaust valves had been burned. This
exceptional machine is being offered in a n umber of configurations,
which include as a "roadster pickup", or canvas-topped pickup, as a
full hard top, with a full-length canvas top, as a hard-top pickup,
or in topless form . We intend to rebuild the original engine back
to factory specification and to decommission the vehicle to showroom
condition. Be advised that this machine is NOT being offered for
outright sale.
