Tuesday 1st November
We begin the month with HUX 783 – 1952 Series I 80″ – Another stunning Series I – this one has been restored by the great Ken Wheelwright – known all around the world for his Land Rover restorations. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

An early morning start, and a drive to Suffolk to collect NVF 471F – a very original 1967 Series IIA Soft top. Finished in Mid Grey, this Land Rover has covered only 48,000 miles from new, and has been in the ownership of a titled family. Extremely original, but benefits from a recent top quality respray.

Saturday 26th November
As followers of our “Latest News” page will know – we sell many of our Land Rovers “over the phone” to buyers all around the world. However, it is always a pleasure to have potential buyers visit us – so that we can show them around our facility and the work that we do.
That was the case earlier this week, when Tom and his wife Louise travelled up from “Down South” to see what we do.
They came to look at two Land Rovers in particular – YUA 53X a nice original Series 3 and GHU 182B a rebuilt 1964 Series IIA. Having gone back home to ponder the two vehicles, we received a phone call today to say that they could not decide between the two, and the only option therefore is to have both.
The Land Rovers will be prepared over the next few weeks and be ready for them in time for the Christmas break.
