Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1950 Land-Rover 80" is a right-hand drive export model, originally shipped to Australia and re-imported in 2017. It features a two-litre engine, LED lights, and a rare 80in hardtop, with some preservation work done including engine and gearbox refresh, retaining its original steel chassis.

Initially powered by a 1,595cc inlet-over-exhaust Rover engine, a two-litre unit was adopted from 1952.
More than 75 years after the prototype first ran, Land Rovers of all ages continue to give faithful service all around the world, but the most desirable examples are still the earliest 80in-wheelbase Series I models, and particularly the 'lights-behind-grille' examples manufactured from 1948 to 1950.
