LAND ROVER SERIES I 80” — FEBRUARY 1950 (LBG)
Matching Numbers · Untouched Original Patina · Restored to Collector Standards

One of those rare pieces that seldom appear on the market. Rescued from the Australian desert by Land Rover Heaven, imported to the United Kingdom and later to Spain, this February 1950 Series I 80” arrives with a clean history and a restoration carried out to true collector standards: work was done only where necessary, and everything of value was carefully preserved.
The vehicle retains its original patina completely intact. It has not been repainted or “freshened up.” The bodywork, panels and overall character of the vehicle have been respected absolutely. At the same time, the mechanical side has been brought to an exceptional level of reliability and correctness.
