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.
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.

During his initial inspection, Jonn checked and topped up the gearbox level, as well as fitting the canvas roof that comes with the Land Rover. Jonn also cleaned and unblocked the axle breather before freeing and lubricating the sticky wheel cylinders. […]
