This remarkable 1951 80-inch Series I is, quite simply, among the most impressive Series available. , , Professionally restored in 2012 to an exceptionally high standard, the vehicle remains in truly immaculate condition throughout, with impressive records of work completed over the last 16 years to maintain its mechanical integrity and driveability. Crucially, this is not a cosmetic restoration masking poor fundamentals; rather, it is an expertly executed and meticulously maintained Land Rover displaying all the qualities collectors now seek in these highly important early cars., , The detailed photographs show how the aluminium bodywork is beautifully finished, how the chassis presents superbly, and the bulkhead, door shuts and structural details all demonstrate the care and expense invested during restoration. , , Mechanically, the car is every bit as impressive. The correct 1.6 litre petrol engine performs exactly as it should, with excellent oil pressure, smooth running characteristics and strong reliability. The gearbox, transfer case and four-wheel-drive functionality are all notably precise — a reflection of proper specialist attention rather than superficial preparation. , , The steering, braking and suspension likewise inspire confidence and reinforce the quality of the underlying restoration.
