1,991cc. This series I Land Rover was originally built under a Ministry of Supply contract for the British Army and retains its original military data plate and War department acceptance markings. It remained in active service on military census number RGC 528, into the mid-1950s before being released for civilian use and registered as PSL 772. This vehicle was used as one of Bridge Classic Car competitions when the lucky winner opted for the cash alternative. Before selecting it as one of their competition options, it was completely recommissioned and serviced. We have also been advised that it was subject to a comprehensive mechanical rebuild during the mid to late 1990's. The history file contains V5, receipts, older MoTs, 2011 tax disc, various documents and handbook. It registers 7 owners, the last recorded for the past 25 years
