Seller's comments about 1955' Land Rover Series One

Land Rover 80” Series One (EX Devon & Cornwall ARC club trials).

The original conversion of this series one was done when the values were in the hundreds of pounds, not the tens of thousands of today.

The changes to this vehicle are extensive, very well engineered and were all done in the day, to serve its intended purpose as a club trials Land Rover.

The Specification :

Very sound chassis and bulkhead

Power Steering ( using a Rover P5 steering box)

Series II front axle with Santanna disc brake conversion and leather gaitors

QT front diff guard

Rear Series One axle with floating half shaft conversion

Goodridge brake hoses all round

Easy starting lovely sounding 3528cc Rover V8 on recent SU auto choke carbs and manifold.

Engine oil and filter recently changed.

Remote brake servo fitted under passenger seat in the storage box

Series IIA gear box (best for strength) oil recently changed

Series IIA pedal box

Gear box cross member can be unbolted to remove the gearbox from underneath (saving the need to remove the floors)

Range Rover diff in each axle giving ideal ratios for the V8 and no need for an overdrive

5 X LWB 5. 5 X 16 recently powder coated steel rims fitted with as new 235 X 70 X 16 Bridgestone AT

Electronic ignition with max spark coil

10 gallon remote rear mounted fuel tank and cover (a requirement for ARC trials)

Remote rear mounted battery and cover (an ARC requirement for trials)

Polybushed parabolic SII front springs

Rear springs S1

Kenlowe electric manually switched cooling fan, belt driven fan removed to stop it spinning water over the engine in deep water

Tow ball / pin and drop hitch with electrics

Battery cut out switch

Front towing hooks

Recent new full series one tilt and hood sticks Exmoor Trim

Recent series one new front seats Exmoor Trim

A large history file comes with the vehicle.

Front grill and both wings (outer and inner) detach as one for very impressive access to the engine and ancillaries

The V5 is in my name and correctly has the V8 3528cc noted. The registration is non transferable.

As a classic vehicle it is MOT and TAX exempt although it has a recent MOT for your peace of mind.

The Land Rover is at my large work yard in Buckfastleigh Devon TQ11 0NR. Inspection and trial are welcome by appointment.

Close offers will be seriously considered.
