Description
Only 500 miles since a very thorough
professional restoration; many new parts including galvanized Richards chassis;
beautiful condition
First registered in July 1959 and showing as
nine former keepers, with the current owner since 2017.
Recently fully restored only 500
miles ago by the vendor in 2018-19 who ran his own Series Land Rover restoration
business. As a retirement present to himself he built this example and as
you would expect, much care was taken and only the best quality parts used to
make it look fabulous, finished in deep bronze green.
The extensive parts list includes
many new parts including a galvanized Richards chassis, front doors & door
tops, door locks, rear door & lock, windscreens, all cappings have been
re-galvanized, gas shock absorbers, parabolic springs, petrol tank, prop shafts,
radiator, hoses, track rod ends and linkages.
The engine was then reconditioned with new
pistons and shells. The gearbox and transfer box were also refurbished with new
bearings and gaskets. The braking system didn’t miss out on the
refurbishment either, with a completely new system from the master cylinder
right through to and including the refurbishment of the axles, steering box,
wheels and new tyres.
The wiring loom was replaced alongside the
refitment of the reconditioned gauges, switches, headlights, battery,
alternator, electronic ignition & leads glass side lights and indicators.
Further interior enhancements include Exmoor trim seats.
As you can see from the photographs
this really has been a meticulous restoration by a very talented professional
who was building a forever vehicle for himself.
Now offered for sale only due to health issues,
it has been starting at the first push of the button while on site with us being
driven for the videos and photography.
