Additional Info:

1956 Land Rover Series I 107" Station Wagon – Left-Hand Drive – Matching NumbersOffered here is a 1956 Land Rover Series I 107" 4-Door Station Wagon, one of the rarest variants produced during the Series I era. The 107" Station Wagon was manufactured only from 1956 through 1958, making it one of the shortest production runs in Land Rover history.This example is a factory left-hand-drive vehicle and retains its matching-numbers engine and transmission. Complete, matching-numbers left-hand-drive 107" Station Wagons are exceptionally uncommon, particularly those that remain true to their original specifications.The truck underwent a frame-off restoration over a decade ago and has been carefully maintained since. It is presented in its original Dove Grey exterior with RAF Blue interior, an early factory color combination that was discontinued during 1956 and later replaced by the more commonly seen grey-on-grey specification.The vehicle is remarkably complete, with all major systems functioning as intended. It is equipped with a period-correct Capstan Winch, one of the most recognizable accessories offered for the early Land Rover. Installed several years ago, it remains fully operational.The truck is fitted with five brand-new Avon Traction Mileage tires, including the spare. These tires are closely associated with the early Series I models and are consistent with the vehicle's period-correct presentation.The 107" Station Wagon represented Land Rover's early effort to create a vehicle capable of carrying multiple passengers while retaining the durability and off-road capability for which the marque became known throughout Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and South America. Constructed with an aluminum body mounted on a steel chassis, these vehicles established the foundation for the later Land Rover utility and expedition models.This example remains highly original in specification and configuration, retaining its matching-numbers drivetrain, factory left-hand-drive configuration, correct color combination, and period accessories.The seller may consider a trade or partial trade for an original Porsche 1954-1958 356 Speedster. You will be pressed to find a better truck anywhere.
