AI Listing Summary
This is a restored 1951 Land Rover Series I, updated with a more powerful Series III engine and gearbox. It features several upgrades and has been used sparingly since its restoration, presenting a blend of classic charm and enhanced performance.
Condition
7
The car is in overall solid condition with a repaint and replacement of seats and soft top in 2016. There are slight oil leaks and a gearbox whine, which are noted as characteristic of the model. The car has been restored and upgraded, but these minor issues and wear bring the condition down slightly from 'Excellent'.

Description
KEY FACTS This Land Rover Series I is a restored example of the iconic British 4x4, which is now fitted with the engine and gearbox from a Series III.
Under the bonnet now sits a ‘five-bearing’ 2.25-litre naturally aspirated inline-four, which delivers around 78bhp to all four wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with high and low-range gearing.
This Series I has been with its current owner for two years, and has had six owners in total according to its V5C.
It was restored between 2015 and 2017.
The odometer indicates 21,842 miles, however this is not warranted.
EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Series I is finished in the classic combination of Bronze Green over a green vinyl-trimmed interior, It rides on 16-inch body-coloured steel wheels, with Security tyres.
The vehicle features a Khaki-coloured fabric hood, a folding windscreen, inboard headlights, a single driver mirror, and a selection of Lucas, Smiths and Jaeger gauges – for charging amps, petrol level, and speedometer.
