This Land Rover, built in late 1978, is a very original, unrestored, and solid example. The Marine Blue paint over its aluminum-skinned exterior shows a magnificent patina, and the interior appears original—vinyl seats, while the rear seats are new. The engine is believed to be authentic, and we provide the original vehicle description document from the car sale in Cannes, France.
This car arrived in Cannes, France, on December 13, 1978, to be sold in 1979. I have a record of vehicle description by Rover and maintenance records dating from 1989 to today.
This is an outstanding opportunity to obtain a delightful and useable preservation example of the best 4x4xFar with a perfect patina and a delight to drive.
