Description
Commendably rust-free
chassis and
bulkhead ; BMIHT Heritage Certificate which lists it as a CKD export to
Australia in 1958
Recently imported from Australia and now UK
registered, this part-restored late Series I 88" petrol has had
the engine run in but is in need of
recommissioning.
Just as you like to find them, this hot-climate
Land Rover is in super-sound order underneath and has already benefitted from
lots of restoration work.
The chassis and bulkhead are commendably
rust-free and nicely prepared, and it has had a new distributor, coil and
attention under the bonnet to get it into running order.
It currently has no water in the
radiator, so we have only run it for a few seconds, but it shouldn't be too much
work to get it ticking over sweetly. The transmission appears to be stuck in
four-wheel drive and the usual work on the brakes will be needed but this is a
terrific basis to get a nice late Series I up and running at modest
cost.
It comes
with a BMIHT Heritage Certificate which lists it as a CKD export to Australia in
1958, destined for dealer Gardiner Caffn. It was assembled by Pressed Metals via
Grenville Motors in Sydney.
Now UK registered, it comes with a current V5C
and could be on the road in time for the warmer
weather...
