About this car

This 1949 Land Rover Series One is an early car, finished in Sage Green over a matching Sage Green chassis. That combination marks it as one of the first 6,000 Land Rovers built, and it is the rarest body and chassis colour pairing. The factory soon switched the body colour to Bronze Green, so cars like this are scarce.

The dealer describes it as a correct, well-sorted example that is ready for use and still has its original-feeling patina. The page gives no mileage, price, registration or ownership history.
