1953 Land Rover Series 1 80 | Reading, Berkshire

A 1953 Land Rover Series 1 80, the compact British four-wheel-drive built for farm work after the war. It is known for flat aluminium panels, an upright boxy body and a plain layout where every part has a job. This car is Green and unrestored, so its paintwork shows its age and suits the boxy shape. Inside, the Maroon interior adds a warmer note than a working Land Rover usually suggests. It seats four, has a 2000cc petrol engine and is in excellent condition. Worn Green paint and flat, upright sides suit film and TV set in post-war Britain or on a farm. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get a rustic backdrop with clean lines, and the Maroon trim gives close shots a warm accent. Countryside events fit its agricultural origins. A countryside wedding or personal hire suits it too. The car is based in Reading, Berkshire.
