General description :
1952 Landrover Series 1 80" Petrol
Chassis number: 26101986
Regitration number: YVL184
First registered in London in 1952, this 1,997cc 80” is in excellent condition throughout following a total nut-and-bolt restoration by Williams Classics of Conwy which was completed in 2015 after it had been off the road for many years. Over £36,000 was spent upon the car for restoration the results of which are plain to see as the Land Rover speaks for itself. The car is brand new & drives beautifully having had every nut & boly replaced or renewed as required.
On the road the Landrover drives beautifully with good synchromesh on all gears & a lusty engine that pulls stongly & starts instantly. Simply put we have not seen a better one. The late owner lavished money upon the restoation, but boly managed 50 miles in the car before his passing.
We stronkly encourage people to come & view it as you have to see & drive it to appreciate its wonderful quality.

About Land Rover
The rugged tale of Land Rover, born from the spirit of exploration and inspired by the legendary Jeep. Let's embark on a journey through the history of Land Rover, tracing its evolution and the iconic models that have conquered both off-road terrain and urban landscapes.Act 1: The Birth of Land Rover (1948)
In the aftermath of World War II, Rover saw the need for a versatile, go-anywhere vehicle that could handle the demands of post-war life. Drawing inspiration from the Jeep, Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer, and his brother Spencer, Rover's managing director, conceptualized the first Land Rover. Launched in 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show, the Series I Land Rover was an instant hit, boasting simplicity, durability, and unparalleled off-road capabilities.
Act 2: Series Land Rovers (1950s-1970s)
The Series Land Rovers became the backbone of Land Rover's lineup. The Series II in 1958 and Series III in 1971 refined the design and introduced more creature comforts, while preserving the brand's commitment to off-road prowess. These models were workhorses on farms, military deployments, and adventurous expeditions.
Act 3: Range Rover (1970)
In 1970, Land Rover expanded its horizons with the introduction of the Range Rover. Combining luxury with off-road capabilities, the Range Rover defined a new segment of high-end, go-anywhere vehicles. Its success marked the beginning of Land Rover's transition from utilitarian workhorses to premium off-road vehicles.
Act 4: Discovery and Defender (1980s-1990s)
The 1989 launch of the Land Rover Discovery marked the brand's foray into family-oriented SUVs, blending off-road prowess with on-road comfort. Meanwhile, the iconic Land Rover Defender, the spiritual successor to the original Series Land Rovers, continued to capture the hearts of enthusiasts with its rugged design and unyielding capabilities.
