The Appeal
Conceived and built to be a vehicle that would take you safely over virtually any terrain and in any condition, no matter how adverse, the Land Rover stands proud of one of Britain’s most iconic and treasured Marques.
Taken back to bare metal and given a thorough mechanical care package by the current owner of seven years, it now has a distressed urban warrior look about it that is very unique, and certainly distinctive.
The body is solid, and it could be painted or left as it is, depending of preference.
Nice long wheelbase hardtop with 3 front seats, freewheeling front hubs, 2.25 petrol engine and overdrive in all gears that is mechanically sound and looking like it could take you any where you might want to go.
