In this exceptional machine each and every gauge, every switch, every control, every feature functions precisely as intended. Dare Britannia, with North America's only inventory of superlative vintage Land-Rovers, warrants this to be the most exceptionally accessorized 109 we've had the privilege of presenting in our 50-plus-year history. (We did restore another one, a camper, about 10 years ago, but that was never in the Dare Britannia inventory, having been restored for a client.) Innumerable other accessories are in also in stock and ready to fit. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the British Motoring industry's pinnacle examples of engineering brilliance, the last year of the all-metal dash, eliminating innumerable issues of unobtainable parts so common with later models. When this has gone the only way for us to deliver another would be to build one, which would certainly be at vastly greater expense. Price does not include WA state sales tax.
