EARLY SERIES I

80”, 1948 to 1953

THIS is the ultimate classic Land Rover – 72 years old and more desirable than ever. The early 80-inch models fetch the highest prices. The earlier and more original, the better. Pre-production and historic examples are the most sought-after, and 1948-50 models the most expensive. Even barn-find derelicts are in demand for restoration projects. The Holy Grail of all Land Rovers is the missing centre-steer prototype from 1947 – if it still exists.
