1951 Land Rover Series I 80in

Description

Owned for the last five years since being purchased from a deceased estate; recent expenditure; recorded as only having one previous keeper

Originally built in January 1951, this Series 1 80in was first registered on its current number, GNV 240, to a Mrs E Lloyd of Pipewell Hall in Kettering, Northamptonshire, although almost immediately afterwards was registered to its long-term second owner who kept it until 2007.

After a 56-year straight ownership, it was transferred to the current registered keeper. This low number of keepers are recorded within the paperwork, although the V5C states only one former keeper.

The Land Rover register record it correctly as having an aluminium bulkhead and also confirm the long-term ownership. We are told that it was given a genuine replacement chassis in the 1970s and although there is no paperwork to prove this, it does look to be the case. At some point we understand that one of the doors was stolen, hence the different coloured driver's side.

More recently, we are told that it has been fitted with a new carburettor, reconditioned fuel system, overhaul of the brakes, new master cylinder, new wiring loom and all clocks and gauges so they should all be operational.
