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.
