LATER SERIES I

86”, 107”, 88”, 109” – 1953 TO 1958

BETTER VALUE are the later Series Is. They are also more user-friendly and easier to drive, too. The distinctive 107inch Station Wagons, which look like they’re built from giant Meccano, are extremely sought-after, and fetch the highest prices. The long wheelbase pick-ups represent the best value. Check any prospective purchase for corrosion issues – an inherent problem with all early – and many later! – Land Rovers. BUYER’S TIP: There’s no such thing as a cheap Series I. SPECIFICATIONS 2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, 52 bhp, 101 lb-ft torque. Also, from

1957, 2-litre four-cylinder diesel, 52 bhp, 87 lb-ft torque. Four-speed manual, two-speed transfer box with selectable four-wheel drive.
