1956 – Land Rover Series I – £14950

Discover a piece of automotive and royal history with this exceptional 1956 Land Rover Series I SWB 86 inch, a true collector’s gem with a fascinating provenance. Originally commissioned for the Royal Family’s Olympic visit to Sweden, this rare vehicle was one of two short-wheelbase Land Rovers shipped to Stockholm in May 1956 to support the Royal Family’s cross-country event viewing during the equestrian competitions. With only three owners over its remarkable 69-year history, this meticulously maintained classic comes with a new hood and stick set, making it not just a collector’s piece but a surprisingly useable vintage vehicle.

Perfect for the discerning enthusiast or collector, this ULEZ-compliant Land Rover represents a unique slice of mid-20th-century automotive and royal heritage. While some original features like the rear and passenger doorsteps have been lost to time, the vehicle retains its distinctive brackets, unique rear crossmember mounting lugs, and split rear doors, preserving its historical integrity. Available for viewing by appointment and accepting both credit and debit cards, this Land Rover offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of motoring history that bridges the worlds of automotive engineering and royal tradition.
