About this car

This 1953 Land Rover Series 1 has been fully restored by the heritage department at Aston Workshop, the team normally tasked with the most valuable Aston Martins. It is an early example of the car that established the Land Rover template.

The restoration was a ground-up rebuild. Parts were remade, replaced or preserved as appropriate, and the 1997cc engine was rebuilt as part of the work. The aim was a car that feels close to factory fresh.
