Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1952 Land Rover 80 Series 1 features an upgraded Rover P4 2.6ltr engine and new seats, but is noted to be 'far from concourse'. It's a usable classic with an aluminum bulkhead, offered with current V5 but no other paperwork, presenting an opportunity for someone willing to undertake some reconditioning.
Condition
5
The car is described as 'far from concourse,' indicating noticeable cosmetic and mechanical wear. It has an upgraded engine and new seats, but the overall condition suggests multiple minor dents, paint blemishes, or wheel damage are possible. Moderate reconditioning is likely needed to bring it to a better state.
