1956 Land Rover Series 1 or £12,000

There is a £12,000 cash alternative available in this competition

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.

This car can be run on synthetic fuel as well as traditional petrol.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we run all of our competition cars on synthetic fuel. This is a like-for-like fossil-free alternative to petrol that reduces emissions by up to 80%. This can be mixed with traditional petrol and no modifications to the car are required. You can fuel this car with traditional petrol – we simply use synthetic fuel as part of our sustainability goals.
