1957 Series One 107 Station Wagon - This was Land Rover's first long wheel base station wagon and oddly enough, the production of this model spanned both Series Ones and Series Twos being made into 1958. Only 7000 of these Five Door models were thought to have been made.
This version started life in Montana after making the voyage across the pond and through the distributor in Portland, OR. Original documentation and purchase order along with the original manuals come with the truck.
I restored this back to nearly original condition. Working with Dunsfold, Exmoor Trim, Keith Wadsworth and others to ensure that the parts were correct for the model and year. Restoration included a frame off process with all painted surfaces being recoated. The chassis was primed and painted with black Por 15 with multiple coats. Some panels were replaced including wing sides and side lamp pressings. Door top panels were re-riveted to ensure that the proper look was accomplished with riveting over paint.
The engine was re-built, the transmission was rebuilt, new wiring harness, new interior, new exhaust and rebuilt brake system include the major systems plus lots and lots of smaller items taken care of using original and NOS parts.
Upgrades to the truck include parabolic springs from Rocky Mountain, dual circuit brakes with brake booster, over drive and Class III/IV hitch for recovery.
After restoration, the truck was promptly driven and used for exploration. The inaugural trip included a circumnavigation of the Baja penninsula from Washington state. This is not a trailer queen. It is a proper Land Rover that gets driven and used, but it is well maintained and is solid and running well.
More info on request. Offering the truck at $12,500

Stable Mates - Even though the 110 is from the late 1990s and a TDi, the similarities in build to the two are surprisingly similar.
