# 1956 Land Rover Series I – An Icon Restored
This exceptional 1956 Land Rover Series I 86-inch represents a rare piece of British motoring heritage, now beautifully restored and ready for the next chapter of adventure. With a documented history spanning nearly seven decades, this vehicle has been carefully maintained by successive enthusiasts, most notably through a comprehensive restoration completed in 2015. The original engine, gearbox, and radiator have been expertly restored, complemented by newly manufactured road springs sourced from an original Land Rover supplier, fresh Avon tyres to original specification, and a replaced canvas hood (original retained). At just over 26,000 miles on the odometer, this Series I represents the classic utility that made Land Rovers legendary.
As a ULEZ-compliant vehicle, this 1956 is exempt from London’s emissions charges, making it perfect for those seeking to explore both city and countryside without restriction. Fully MOT and tax-exempt, it’s an ideal candidate for shows, events, and leisurely weekend drives. Complete documentation of restoration work is available, along with historic MOT certificates from 2010 and 2012, providing transparent proof of its excellent condition. This is a genuine opportunity to own an authentically restored classic Land Rover that combines historical significance with practical usability.
