HERE WE HAVE A VERY ORIGINAL AND RARE GENUINE SEVEN SEATER STATION WAGON.BUILT IN 1955 THIS LANDROVER WAS SUPPLIED TO THE MINISTRY OF SUPPLY, THEN STORED AT FARNBOROUGH.THE LANDROVER WAS ORIGINALLY PAINTED IN GREY, BUT UNDER THE PROPERTY SERVICE AGENCY WAS PAINTED IN YELLOW .THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PAINTED IN BRONZE GREEN.THE VEHICLE STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL REGISTRATION NUMBER.(PLF 625]THIS BATCH OF NUMBERS WERE ISSUED TO THE MINISTRY OF SUPPLY STARTING WITH PLF 250.THE MOST PLEASING ASPECT ABOUT THIS LANDROVER IS THE VERY ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CONDITION. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE RESISTED THE TEMPTATION TO RESTORE THE VEHICLE.THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE BENEFIT OF A FULLY PROFFESSIONALLY REBUILT ENGINE.THE ENGINE IS AS SMOOTH AS SILK AND RUNS SUPERBLY.THE BODY IS VERY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL . THE BRAKES ARE FIRM WITH VERY LITTLE PEDAL TRAVEL THE STEERING IS ALSO FIRM WITH LITTLE WANDER,THIS SUGGESTS REASONABLE DILIGENCE WAS CARRIIED OUT DURING MAINTENANCE.THE ONLY ASPECT OF THIS VEHICLE THAT WOULD REQUIRE ATTENTION IS PROBABLY THE FRONT SEAT BASES AND THE REAR SEAT CUSHIONS THESE ITEMS REALLY COULD BENEFIT FROM A RECOVER. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR AN ORIGINAL, PRACTICAL, UNMOLESTED AND VERY RARE STATION WAGON GIVE US A RING PRICE £4750.
