In high demand with Land Rover and even general classic car collectors these days, Series 1 Landys are not only rare, they also demand a premium. Simplicity was high on the agenda when this vehicle was first conceived and as such it's certainly not build for comfort, but rather adventure.

This example started life in Germany and most likely as a patrol vehicle along the East German border. It is unclear how and when it made its way to Africa but this Landy was a "barn" found in Mozambique... living the life of a beach bum before being relocated to South Africa and being restored to its former glory by Owen Walton.

Today the beautiful Series 1 is quite a catch with matching numbers, along with a few upgrades like 11-inch drum brakes at the front and Defender mirrors. The 2.0-Litre engine is a quick starter and keen to please, and the fully rebuilt gearbox is tight but manageable once you understand its workings.

The traditional green really suits the vehicle and the whole build is something to behold.

Interesting trade-ins will be considered.
