Seller's comments about 1951' Land Rover Series 1

This beautiful 1951 Land Rover Series 1 80" (1952 Model Year) Restored by the legendary Ken Wheelwright whose restorations are in Museums including Land Rover Heritage, Coventry, British Heritage and a German Motor Museum, are rarely available for sale. An unsurpassable reputation, Ken was commissioned by Land Rover to restore a Series IIA Land Rover which had been owned by the Wilks family and was presented to the founder of the Rover Company on his retirement. This vehicle now forms part of Land Rover's own heritage collection, joining Kens other restored Land Rovers. This beautiful example has done less than 1000 miles since Ken worked his magic on it. The Vehicle was originally built on 11th October 1951. This is a Bronze Green example and still has all its original running gear, matching number engine, gearbox & axles. To find a vehicle that is 66 years old and retains all its original running gear is outstanding let alone to be restored to such a high standard is near impossible.
