Pretty cool that someone had the foresight to preserve the old rig...wouldn't be surprised if they get their asking price.

I have to imagine it'll fetch a bit over that tag. Only 12k miles on Sir Winston Churchill's Ser. I?

That's only 222 a year...

We should follow this, my guess is it will fetch more than 100,000. Any rich collector would kill to own a Rover that was a gift to arguably the most famous Brit of the last 100yrs

If I had the spare coin, it would be sitting in my garage!

Land Rover custom made for Winston Churchill's 80th birthday with extra-wide passenger seat and wooden box for bricklaying tools goes under the hammer

The rare Series 1 Land Rover was used to ferry the former prime minister around his sprawling 300 acre Chartwell estate in Kent after he retired from political life - and almost 58 years later still it has only got 12,000 miles on the clock.

Anyone find out how much the Series I made at auction? My bet was for 80k Pounds.

**westcoastkevin** · 10-20-2012, 10:47 AM

£129,000 GBP
