Only 2 previous owners and in the same family ownership since 1978, SXF has been used but equally well-maintained and cherished. She is in good condition with no corrosion evident and paintwork and trim all good. Mechanically she is very good, starts quickly and drives well. The gearbox is fault-free, steering direct, brakes good and overall a nice drive (given it is an early Land Rover!).
Of note, as well as the presently fitted tilt, there are a number of additional panel fittings with her, namely a roof, doors, bonnet, windscreen and more! There is a spares pack in the back, also a believed to be original jack and other items under the passenger seat.
A ‘drive-away’ Series 1 and a vehicle with an interesting history.
