I kind of wondered if an 80" would generate interest. On the one hand, it's the original Series Land-Rover. But on the other hand, it's not of much practical value. So I'm happy that there are some other enthusiasts out there.

I live near West Chester. As I said, it's solid and pretty original. For instance, the wheels are all date-coded 1-53. The electrical switches are original and work. The speedo shows around 66k, and it works, so maybe that's accurate. The rear cross-member was replaced at some point, but was done cleanly. The fenders, radiator panel and front bumper are original, evidenced by the holes from the missing brackets for fire equipment. I am optimistic that I'll be able to trace the history, and the fact that it was a Land-Rover publicity vehicle originally should make that easier. None of the fire equipment remains with it.

While I'm sure 45 mph will be top cruising speed, we plan to get it out to ROVERS events and the occasional car show when the weather breaks . . .

Jeremy
