This is my "new" Land Rover
It's been off the road since 1989 and stored in a barn for the last 15 or so.
It was first reg 9/1958 2l petrol and looks like it still has the original seats!

That looks superb, another original unmolested landy going back on the road

Tasty!

Amazing condition! What's the chassis like?
Are you planning to restore or just get running? Either way glad to see it saved.

Where are all these barns hiding classics then? Perhaps I need to do some trespassing

Tight Fart · Apr 22, 2013

First thoughts are just to get it back on the road, I've had it running but the seals have gone in brakes and clutch, the exhaust has gone, so I'll just work though the mechanicals and see how it goes.

That's mint ! How much did it set you back ?

austinwealy · Apr 24, 2013

You lucky bugger! Thats in brilliant condition for a barn find! Any hidden surprises on the chassis though?

lapider · Apr 27, 2013

looks lovely. only thing id do is put an original black steel pressed plate on the front. apart from that it looks mint.

Tight Fart · Apr 27, 2013

Funny first thing I did was take the plates off!

Tight Fart · Dec 9, 2013

I've now overhauled the brakes, sorted the exhaust & got the clutch working and it went out at the weekend for it first trip under its own power for 25 years.

Land Raver · Dec 9, 2013

Yay, fantastic! Having had a poke around now is the chassis and bulkhead as expected? Looks a lovely thing - had to look over all the photos again!

Why the different reg plates, 2nd lot of pics aren't 59 plates they have a A suffix. Or am i missing something?

Freelaner · Dec 9, 2013

they're not always registered in the year they were made

I had to go to a DVLA office to tax it as the log book needed to be changed from PLG to vintage to get the MOT exemption, while there they asked if I wanted to take the A plate off and assign a age related plate, so I said yes please.

I'd guess some years back somebody transferred the original and was then given the A suffix.
