Anyone got some spare cash

Looking for an immaculately restored and beautifully presented Land Rover Series 1? Then it’s time to pick up the phone to Land Rover itself, which is going to town on 25 hand-picked Series 1s and restoring them to absolute perfection.

The cars picked for revival have been chosen for their authenticity, and each will be totally stripped and rebuilt. The work will be carried out by the newly formed ‘Land Rover Classic’ division, based in a dedicated workshop at Land Rover’s Solihull plant.

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Seeing as a TV programme got a world record auction price for the one that they rebuilt of something like £60k I dread to think what the factory will want for a factory rebuild by the apprentices.................. Might be cheaper to buy a new RRS SVR instead  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

The thing is, for me at least, that an old Landie should be an old Landie. Looking brand new like that just makes them look silly. They should look like they've been used, not sat in an air conditioned garage as an investment. Pah!  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

What

I just found the money to buy one and now I need an air conditioned garage too

I'm going to have to have to find some more money now  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I agree with the above, i like to see ware and tear on them, faded paint and a few character dings too. The head of commissioning at work has one and although its not a rotten shed it isnt a minter either. He loves it the way it is and i rather like the fact that he uses it offroad on club meets, throws the dogs in the back and even pressure washes the dirt out of it!

Being a JUE instead of a HUE it isnt that far behind as they didnt register many HUE at LR
