1952 LAND ROVER

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 16,000 - GBP 20,000.

Introduced in 1948 and conceived as a simple, rugged and versatile utility vehicle, the Series I established the foundations of the Land Rover legend

First registered on 07/06/1952 , this Series I wears a satin Bronze Green respray, with a canvas tilt and seats by Exmoor Trim, chequer plate floors, Series I type door mirrors, period mud flaps and new sliding windows

Power comes from a Land Rover 2.5-litre diesel (a later unit, fitted in place of the original petrol engine), driving through a manual gearbox with Series 3 lightweight hubs

A restoration lasting some 15 months was completed in circa 2018 and we are reliably informed the restoration included a welded and rust treated chassis, reworked floorpans and bulkhead, rebuilt steering, new brake and clutch components, a new wiring loom with halogen headlights, and wheels shot blasted and stove enamelled and then fitted with new rubber

A charming Series I with torquier diesel power that is ready to be enjoyed
