'797 UYO' has the '2nd generation' 2.0-litre IOE petrol engine introduced on the 86" Series I in 1953. The Land Rover was purchased by the current owner approximately six years ago, having been discovered lying intact in a field. A new chassis was made, the original bulkhead repaired, and the bodywork straightened where necessary before being repainted in Heritage Green. A new canvas roof was made and the original engine overhauled by a very good local engineer: new cylinder liners, pistons, con-rods, etc and new bearings throughout. The transmission was cleaned and checked, and both axles and the braking system rebuilt, the latter with new lines and master cylinder.
The carburettor was rebuilt and the fuel pump and tank renewed. The electrics were totally rewired and new lights fitted, the factory fitted PTO was overhauled and all instruments dismantled, cleaned and reassembled; indeed, the vendor says that every single nut and bolt has been apart, and either reassembled after cleaning or replaced.
Only two miles have been covered since the restoration was completed in 2022. Prospective purchasers are advised that the brakes should be used with caution, as they have not been bedded in following renewal. Described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout, this restored Series I 'Landie' is offered with restoration invoices and a V5C Registration Certificate.
