All tyres are perished and are all in need of replacement
The "rear cross member" and the two "bulkhead outriggers" have been fabricated and replaced by someone with zero engineering experience. They are poorly made chassis repair sections which really spoil this vehicle.
These homemade chassis parts have been on the vehicle for many years possibly 20 plus years ago. Both bulkhead outriggers are open at the bottom and need to be boxed in for structural reasons.
The rear cross member has been welded on about 20MM too far back and poorly attached to the body. The Rear cross member simply requires cutting off and replacment with a new one.
With a set of new tyres and the three chassis faults sorted you will have a very tidy SXF Series one.
Priced to sell and open to sensible offers.

I have a video of engine running and many more pictures.
This LAND ROVER at half the price of a fully restored Series one would make someone a great easy start in to SERIES ONE ownership.
