Our stunning 1956 Land Rover Series I was originally built under a Ministry of Supply contract for the British Army.

It was not a civilian vehicle to begin with and it still has its original military data plate and War Department acceptance markings. Issued with the military census number RGC 528, it remained in active service into the mid-1950s before being released for civilian use and registered as PSL 772.

Our Series I underwent a comprehensive mechanical rebuild sometime in the mid to late nineties, with photographic records documenting some of the work carried out.

Our 1956 Land Rover Series 1 has a story that spans post-war Britain, early Cold War service, and decades of civilian life, making it a lot more than just a classic 4×4.
