Hi series lovers

I don't know if any of you saw the grey 1958 car on ebay last week

1958 LAND ROVER Series II 2 litre petrol barn find very original | eBay

well I bought it on behalf of a mate of mine - collecting mon 23rd.

It will be going off to his collection in the new year when we have been through it and sorted a blow on the manifold, rebuilt the carburettor and fixed a small rad leak.

that is all it needs.

It is absolutely and totally original - apart from two tiny bits of filler which will be removed.

Original engine, seats, paint inside and out, glass, etc.

So so lovely......................................

It has been on here before, and over at the series 2 forum there is a bit of banter over the originality and value etc, but apart from losing the original registration it is a lovely motor.

I looked at that, was so tempted but couldn't justify that sort of money. Plenty of pics please

it will be Swiss-registered anyway in due course as the new owner wants to use it every day to drive round his estate and into the village - and when he drives down to his museum to inspect his collection - he is the chap who purchased Churchill's car, by the way.

It was also featured in the LRO january 2014 edition,

for some reason it had been put on a 1963 A suffix but the owner had it put back onto a 1958 number
