We are often asked "where do we buy our Land Rovers from?" and also "Who buys our Land Rovers?" - so below are some of our monthly highlights.

Please feel free to bookmark this page and come back from time to time to see what we are up to and what is "new"


Thursday 1st September

OBT 978G - the 1968 Series IIA sold in July, is now ready and needs to be loaded onto the truck that will be transporting it to Austria.

A big "Thank you" to Nigel of Turner Brothers for coming to the rescue, when the truck that was sent to collect the Land Rover did not have loading ramps.

Tuesday 6th September

Although our buyers travel all over the UK, it is nice when we find Land Rovers locally. That was the case this evening. OWX 955 was purchased from a local dealer 56 years ago, and has been with the same family since. Unfortunately time has come for them to pass the Land Rover on.

We will be collecting the Land Rover in a week or so, and will be able to give potential buyers a more informative assessment.

Although it has not been used for 8 or 9 years, I think this will be an easy project for someone - and it includes lots of original paperwork - Including the Old "Buff" log book, and 2 books of Petrol ration Vouchers !

PNW 242C is a 1965 Left Hand Drive 109" 5 door station wagon - This Land Rover was rebuilt by Land Rover Centre for Peter in Baltimore and exported in 2001

NNW 775A is a 1954 Series I - 86" - This Land Rover is affectionately known as "Heartbeat" as it featured in the early episodes of the TV series. This was purchased by Peter in 2003, and since then it has undergone a meticulous ground up restoration.

Peter is now retiring to France, and so both Land Rovers were surplus to requirements.
