1956 Land Rover Series 1 - 3

Estimated Price: £14,000 - £18,000

Introduced in 1948 and conceived as a simple, rugged and versatile utility vehicle, the Series I established the foundations of the Land Rover legend

First registered in 1956, this late-production, pre 88" example has been restored at some point in its life and has clearly been cherished over the years

A long-standing member of The Land Rover Series One Club and presenting particularly well today

Finished in traditional Bronze Green with a new green vinyl interior, complemented by a fresh Sand canvas tilt and frame

Introduced in 1956, the 1,997cc spread-bore four-cylinder proved to be considerably more reliable than the earlier siamese bore units

Recent works (30/09/2026) include a reconditioned carburettor, water pump assembly, rebuilt dynamo/regulator, and new ignition switch (£1,560 - invoice in file)

With its simple engineering, purposeful styling and unmistakable character, the 86" Series I remains perhaps the purest expression of the original Land Rover concept
