LAND ROVER SERIES 1 86"

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

First registered in 1956 in Brecon as EEU 482, this Series I was acquired by its current family in 1988 and has remained in their ownership since. It's believed to have been with another family from new until 1988 but most of the original documentation has been lost

The vehicle is now registered under 499 XVR and is supplied with a British Motor Museum Certificate and its original 'buff' logbook

After years of farm use by the current family, the Landie was stored in a barn, where it remained untouched until the owner’s passing in 2023 at which point it was inherited by his daughter, the current owner

It has recently undergone some light recommissioning, which included flushing the fuel lines, fitting new brakes all around, and a full service

Never painted by our vendors and, it seems unlikely to have been painted by its first family owners, so we have to conclude it remains in its original Bronze Green paint, although the canvas tilt appears more recent

The odometer indicates 40,980 miles which, again, seems likely to be genuine

Enjoyed locally in recent months, this charming 86" Srs 1 is now ready for its next chapter, whether that be a full restoration or to be enjoyed as is
