• Highly iconic and early Land Rover Series 1
• 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine (1,595 cc) with manual gearbox
• Authentic base – partially to be restored
• Classic green colour scheme with original interior
• Belgian registration papers

The Land Rover Series 1 is one of the absolute foundations of the off-road vehicle segment and is widely regarded as one of the most influential utility classics ever built. With its robust construction, simple mechanics and unmatched versatility, this model became a legend among adventurers, collectors and enthusiasts of pure mechanical engineering.

Today, early Series 1 examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in an honest and authentic condition that still allows room for further optimisation or restoration according to one’s own vision. Restoring such pioneering models often requires significant investment, making original projects with proper documentation highly sought after in the collector’s world.

This example therefore represents an interesting opportunity for enthusiasts looking for a characterful and historically important classic with potential. Vehicles like this rarely appear on the market and typically attract immediate attention from knowledgeable buyers once available.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expertise report for this vehicle with the following findings.
