NJO8: 1948 model
NJO8, is a 1948 model registered in Oxford in January 1949. It spent life around Oxford and had been stored for years until it was bought by the current owner.
They asked me to get it road worthy again. We managed to get the majority of the flaky dark green paint off, to bring back the original light green paint.
Soon after the vehicle was back on the road it went on a Commemoration Road Run to Barcelona, Spain to celebrate the 70th year of Land Rover, L03 (GWD431, also pictured) went in 1948.
NJO8 is now used regularly, on and off the road!

SLL485: 1956, 86" model
SLL485 is a 1956, 86" model, an exceptionally straight vehicle, that was bought from a celebrity salvage hunter. We then recommissioned it for reliable road and green road use.
UMP544: 1949, 80" model
UMP544 is a 1949, 80" model.
One of the first dark green models. This came to us in a pile of pieces and it really was a restoration project!
All the parts needed to be reconditioned or needed to be replaced.
This vehicle represents the way that it would have looked when it was built in 1949, albeit with better quality finishes

VKR381: 1955, 86" model
VKR381, is a very nice 1955, 86" model.
Over the last few years it has been recommissioned. We have had to go over some of the previous work carried out, as it wasn't done in a way that represents the originality of the car. For example: a new wiring loom was installed, instead of a "home made one"

NDM934: 1956, 88" model
Left an Oxfordshire barn after an unfortunate accident in the early 70s. Having had a prang, the people who had borrowed it thought they would do the owner a favour and brush paint the car!
Bought by the current owner, the Land Rover had only covered 20,000 miles, so you can imagine it was in its very original state. The owner wanted it back as a reliable tidy car. We did a wraparound respray and recommissioned it. This car drives very nicely with such low miles!

1951, Headlights through, model
Another 1951, Headlights through, model was bought to us to prepare to be sold. Fitted with T28 tyres and a few jobs done. This is a really delightful ex Australian Land Rover, very original and not had too much of a hard life, like many Australian Land Rovers have had. This car had most of it's correct dated parts and correct original major components.
Vehicles like this are a real pleasure to work on.
