- THIS IS A VIRGIN RESTORATION WITH ALL WORK LISTED COMPLETED IN THE LAST 1,000 MILES
This most exceptional Land-Rover has accumulated fewer than 1,000 miles since its complete reassembly. Offered by America’s most-decorated Land-Rover restoration specialist, Dare Britannia, Ltd.. With receipts for new parts showing more than $40,000.00 and a fine photo record of the restoration, the evidence is powerful: this is an exceptional machine. This is also a “Solihull” UK Land-Rover, NOT a Santana knockoff, whose parts can be annoyingly impossible to find!! The awards shown are representative of the kind and caliber of Land-Rovers Dare Britannia has placed with new owners and has for nearly five decades. This superlative machine starts right on the button and drives impeccably with good acceleration, light and precise steering, well-modulated braking and user-friendly suspension. The waterproof cotton soft top is fully removable as are the door tops; the windscreen is fold-able to the bonnet-mounted spare, allowing a three-hundred-sixty degree panoramic view of your entire surroundings. The Genuine Land-Rover raised safety harness anchorage is impossible to find now and allows a margin of safety not possible even with previous factory arrangements. Like the balance of the work recently done, all upgrades have been professionally completed to a high standard.
The parts ledger is beyond impressive , with a flood of parts coming directly from premiere suppliers in England. The former owner was fanatical about locating impossibly-rare parts and a recent spate of work has been professionally carried out in keeping with the highest standards of the Land-Rover tradition.
Older Land-Rovers have a reputation for severe, debilitating rust. This is a Northwest machine going back as far as we have been able to discover. Road salt use in the pacific Northwest is all but unheard of. There is NO penetrating rust on this machine. Anywhere. To the best of our knowledge there never has been. Land-Rovers of this caliber have been delivered to appreciative owners by Dare Britannia for the past five decades. Probably 90% or better of the Land-Rovers we have restored are still on the road today….and will remain so for decades to come, given sympathetic care.
Please note that some of the topless photo images do not show the LUCAS driving lights or the raised safety harness anchorage. This is because those images were made before that work was completed. All the photos of the improvements represent work that is included in the sale.
