HISTORY
1949 Land Rover Series I
The 1949 Land Rover Series I is one of the most significant vehicles in automotive history, laying the foundation for one of Britain's most iconic marques. Originally designed as a rugged agricultural and utility vehicle after World War II, its lightweight aluminum body and exceptional off-road capability quickly earned it worldwide acclaim.
Finished in classic Sage Green with a beautifully restored Green vinyl interior and Khaki canvas soft top, this Series I captures the timeless simplicity and charm of the original Land Rover. Every detail reflects the utilitarian design that made the model a legend.
Power comes from the original 1.6-litre inline-four petrol engine, producing around 50 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox and selectable four-wheel drive. More than just a classic, the Series I is a landmark in automotive history—a pioneering off-roader that inspired generations of Land Rovers and remains one of the most collectible British classics today.
