You know the story - the Jeep-inspired, go-anywhere Land Rover designed by Maurice Wilks for farm and light industrial use was launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, and continued remarkably unchanged until its final iteration, the Defender, was finally laid to rest in 2016. Already high, demand for good early examples has since rocketed, and topping the wish list of many an aficionado is the Series I model manufactured from 1948 until 1958. '249 UYX' is a short wheelbase version that's been the subject of a degree of ongoing restoration and is currently finished in traditional Green, and considered by the vendor to have 'good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 2.2-litre petrol engine and fourwheel-drive transmission. The Landie is now being offered complete with new canvas tilt and front seats, long wheelbase wheel rims shod in 750x16 tyres, a Smiths heater equipped with demister vents, and an MOT valid into March of next year.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
