LAND ROVERS FOR SALE
Land Rover: Series 1 80", 1950 - lights behind the grill for Sale
Here we have a charming 1950, lights behind the grill, model Land Rover.
Made on 6th October, 1949, and dispatched to the Army, date into Service: 10 October 1949 under Receipt Voucher-FTM/R/3167 [21st B Vehicle Depot Feltham in Middlesex]
Its Army registration number was 06 BC 49
It served until 1962 when Struck Off Census: WD Storage & Disposal Depot Ruddington in Nottinghamshire sold on 16 January 1963.
Registered in Staffordshire XBF581 in the summer of 1963, it still carries this registration number today, which is a nice feature.
This Land Rover stayed around Staffordshire until the early 1990s when by this time it found it way to a local Land Rover collector. He then sold it to Mr Mervyn Prowse, who bought it as a project in March 1992, and set about a restoration, which is well documented over the next 10 years.
There are lot of receipts for this on file, including the gearbox rebuild and a new wiring loom.
When the project was bought it came with a reconditioned 2 litre spread, this has had a service and is in very good order.
Due to a personal tragedy the restoration progress stopped around 2002, and it sat in a garage.
Fast forward to 2017 when the project was pasted to Mr Prowse's niece. She and her husband set about finishing the project. Which they did in time for Mr Prowse to ride in before he passed away around 2018.
Another 6 years passed where the Land Rover was stored and not used much, covering 10 miles in total up until 2024!
We were then asked to find a new owner, and we picked it up and set about a recommission and making it a reliable vehicle. This included fitting a new clutch, as the one in was contaminated by oil.
Brakes have been checked and all oil levels checked, engine serviced. MOT passed, although it doesn’t need it, it's good to have.
This Land Rover is on its original fish plate chassis, which is in very good condition, its only had welding to one cross member.
The bulkhead is in very good condition and there are pictures of it stripped out on file.
Fitted with the export flap on the windscreen, this is a nice feature in warm weather, and was standard on military models.
Fitted with its original axles, with long nose diffs, free wheeling gearbox, and late 2 litre engine, with original 9/49 dated radiator.
Correct flat top hoop sticks and boot lase canvas.
Stainless steel exhaust system.
This is very usable early 80” ready to drive away.

Fitted still with original 2 litre engine, engine number: 26109497 which is in the old style continuation log book and on a current V5 registration documentation.
This Land Rover last changed hands in March 1976 when the last MOT expired. The milage on that MOT was 55,505miles. It hasn’t been on the road since.
It was taken apart and left, as life got in the way! The storage had been lost and so it is now for sale, but back together to show the look of the car.
The original 2 litre engine does run, but will need some attention to the water jacket. Assistance can be offered with this.
Not currently fitted with a gearbox, it does have the correct spec gearbox with it.
The original chassis is in good condition, it does need some repair, but will repair well, and is worth saving.
The same can be said for the bulkhead. It has some holes, where they start to rust, these will repair.
Steering box removed, but is in the back, along with the steering box, and steering wheel.

Land Rover, rare early Series 2
This very special Land Rover is for sale, from a personal collection.
It was bought in since 2015 when it was discovered in North Wales in very original condition, having been stored for many years.
Amazingly it has all its original mechanical components.
V5 document in my name.
Chassis number 221 was built on 21st April 1958 and despatched on 14th March 1958 to D Rosenfield Ltd, Cheetham Hill Road Manchester.
Registered in Stockport as NDB 430 which it still wears today.
Owned by a Coach Company in Rhyll from 1958 until 2015!
When Rover launched the new Series 2 they didn't have enough of the new 2. 25 engines ready, so carried on with the 2ltr Series 1 mechanicals from April until August 1958 for the 88" SWB until they ramped up production.
There were only 1702 of these 1418 chassis number 2ltr 88" SWB home market made, so few have survived especially with their original engines.
Approximately 70 are known about at the present time.
Original engine number, the details below.
I see these as the Holy Grail of Series 2's and have been lucky to have owned a few over the years!
When I acquired it I was lucky enough to get Guy Pickford to work on it and recommission it for the road.
At that time it had a new rear crossmember and LH bulkhead outrigger.
Also overhauled were the clutch hydraulics, all brakes, dynamo, starter motor, horn, wiper motors and lots more. New fuel tank as well.
New Under Cover Covers full Canvas in 2015.
New tyres and wheels shot blasted and painted in 2015
All original Elephant hide sprung seats.
Original dashboard clocks with the Series 1 warning lights
Original 3 bolt tailgate.
Original front galvanised valance.
I could go on but you get the picture!
Little used and dry stored. It is time to pass it on to someone to get it out and about!
The 2ltr petrol engine starts on the button and sounds nice.
The recorded mileage is approx 55, 000 and I believe this may be genuine although cannot prove it.
Original bulkhead in sound condition.
Original chassis with recent rear crossmember in sound condition.
It drives well and the gearbox is good with no jumping out of gear.
The paintwork is dull and aged but I rather like it as is.
This is a very rare early Series 2 that will look good at any show and is great fun for kids/ dogs/ logging etc!
Find another as correct as this!
