1953 Land Rover Series 1

Strap in, our Series 1 is off!

Today’s the day we say goodbye to our Land Rover Series 1 for it’s new adventures in the Highlands of Scotland with competition winner Colin. One final adjustment to the project is for Brian to make up the new door straps in colour matching leather.

Final Preparations

To prepare for our 1953 Land Rover Series 1 to be delivered to its new owner, classic car technician Jonn has assembled the hard top roof, bolted up the panels and removed the roof for full assembly. He then fitted the seals between the panels and the edges before measuring up and cutting and glueing […]

Won – Land Rover Series 1

This morning was the live draw of our 1953 Land Rover Series 1, when Colin Murray was randomly selected as the lucky winner, with ticket number 2158. Our Land Rover will soon be heading off to its new home in Scotland where it will no doubt be very comfortable in the North of the UK.

Land Rover Doors

The doors of our 1953 Land Rover Series 1, which is currently live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, have been in the paintshop with technician Chris. He has been rubbing the doors down before masking them up ready for epoxy primer to be applied. Once this was done, Chris painted the doors a matching green.

Series 1 Hard Top

Our 1953 Land Rover Series 1 has had its hard top fitted by classic car technician Jonn and workshop manager. If you thought it looked cool without a roof on, or with its canvas roof, the hard top certainly looks equally as appealing (if not even better).
