The Land Rover has been professional resprayed taking the existing paint back to bare metal and being resprayed in correct deep bronze green inside and out. The workmanship is to a very high standard and only stainless steel nuts and bolts have been used on the rebuild.

This an exceptional rebuild and would probably, in my opinion, be better off being put into a collection rather than used but that is totally up to the new owner to make that call. So to conclude what we have is a exceptional 1958 series 2 fitted with the early 2 litre Diesel engine from the period that will suit either being used or being kept for shows or a collection.

Realistic reserve considering the high standard of workmanship and the historical importance of the vehicle.
