Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

The vendor bought the car in September 2022 having been keeping a watchful and rather covetous eye on it for some time.

It first came to his attention when it was owned by a well-respected antique dealer. He kept it in his sights when it went to the antique dealer’s brother, where it joined the latter’s collection of 10 or so classic Land Rovers.

Then, as luck would have it, the car was sold to the vendor’s neighbour, who eventually yielded to his gentle persuasion and sold BU51 GMV to him.

The reason he’d spent so much time tracking this car like an Apache scout was that it was an unusually original, low mileage example and in very decent overall condition.

He’s only selling it today because a house move makes it impractical to take it with him.

We have driven the car and can attest to the fact that it starts on the button, drives very well, stops as you would hope and wish, and is largely free of any squeaks, rattles, groans or other unwanted aural idiosyncrasies.

We’ve encountered a lot of Land Rovers over the years, so you really should believe us when we tell you that that’s not always the case.

This lot is available for viewing/inspection. Please contact us via www.bonhamscarsonline.com to make an appointment. We are open Monday to Friday between 10am - 12pm & 2pm - 4pm. We run online classic car auctions every weekday, every week of the year 24/7/365. Please sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date with what is coming soon.
