Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Land Rover Series I 88-inch is a highly usable example, featuring a sympathetic upgrade to a 2.25L petrol engine and a recently renewed suspension and braking system. It boasts impressive bodywork from a 1990s restoration, though the canvas hood shows signs of age.
Condition
7
The car presents very well overall with good bodywork, paint, and interior for its age. The description notes minor imperfections consistent with age and a previous restoration, and mentions that the chassis was off the frame in the 1990s. While mechanically upgraded for usability, it is not a factory original. The canvas hood shows signs of age and use. This aligns with a 'Very Good' rating, indicating slight wear visible but overall solid condition.
