1957 land rover series 1 88inch 2 litre unfinished restoration project barn find

  

I do not really want to sell but making sense I have to. The land rover is a 1957 series 1 88 inch with the original 2 litre engine.

Everything that has been done to the vehicle has had no expense spared with all original parts replaced for new and only a few being repaired when parts are not available. A small list of parts repaired / replaced. New galvanised bulkhead and painted in original colour bronze green. Repaired original chassis then galvanised. Engine block new piston liners , pistons , valves , camshaft , small and big ends , gaskets etc. New brake master cylinder , brake shoes all round , brake cylinders all round , brake pipes. New leaf springs , shock absorbers. New steering relay and track rod ends. New front swivels and bearings / gaskets.

New clutch assembly and handbrake shoes. New voltage regulator , fuse box. New remanufactured pair of aluminium rear quarter panels (not shown in pictures). New exhaust manifold and complete system. New water pump , fan belt.

There are probably lots of things that I have missed but this is a genuine reason for sale. I do not currently have the log book for the vehicle as the dvla are being completely unhelpful.

It does have the original chassis plate from the bulkhead. The registration on the vehicle is OTP 295 , which I have contacted the dvla about. This registration is not currently being used , nor for sale , but will not be given to me on a non transferable basis........

Don't ask me either?? Otherwise it will be given an age related plate. I have spent ages trying to get the original registration. This is not an Australian import and as you can hopefully see has had lots and lots of work already done , it is mainly just the body work to do. I do not think there is anything missing from memory , although there may be some small bits and bobs here and there. I have so far over 300 pictures taken of the restoration and have kept every receipt and piece of paperwork. Cash on collection please or bank transfer , I have listed elsewhere so reserve the right to remove at anytime. Vehicle is located near Redruth cornwall.
