Peter Stevens purchased this late, long-wheelbase Series I Land Rover from a UK auction in 2012 for £10,400. Quoted in
Land Rover Monthly
(July 2012 edition, copy on file) Peter said: "I don't know a lot about it to be honest. It had a lot of restoration work done in about 2005, and was offered for sale by a dealer in Leicestershire a year or so later. At that time James Taylor drove it for
Land Rover Enthusiast
magazine, and from there it went to the collection of the late Jimi Heselden, OBE.
"I believe he was a car collector of some repute and had eclectic taste: Aston Martins, Bentleys, fire engines... and this 109. I'm not sure why he bought it as it's nothing really unusual, but I guess he was attracted by a nice old usable Land Rover."
As well as the aforementioned magazine, the history file contains some old MoTs, a V5C Registration Certificate and some small bills, the most recent dating from 2014 from a local specialist who knew Peter and his collection well.
