SUMMARY
An enthusiast-restored 86" Series I correctly presented in Bronze Green over green vinyl with a new canvas tilt.
DESCRIPTION
- Benefiting from a long term restoration completed by Land Rover devotee and enthusiast
- Stripped to a bare chassis prior to being refinished and reassembled
- Traditionally finished in Bronze Green with a green interior and a Sand canvas hood
- Due to the original engine being beyond repair our vendor was fortunate enough to find a period correct engine still in its crate, a rare find indeed
- We are informed that the Land Rover is running and driving well and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian
- Complimented by a toolkit containing early Land Rover tools that will no doubt have been put to good use in period
- A surprising addition to accompany the Land Rover is a limited edition bottle of Kilchoman cask-strength Single Malt Whisky (No 14/50) that was presented to our vendor at the launch of the Heritage Land Rover on Islay in 2015 in which he participated courtesy of Land Rover themselves
- Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this wonderful 86" Land Rover with an interesting past
