Purchased in County Durham. Registered as a 1963 model, despite the Series I ending production in 1958. Elvis stripped the car to bare chassis and discovered that it was a Series I, specifically ones from between 1953 to 1956 due to its 86 inch wheelbase, however the car came equipped with a Series II rear axle. Brought back to near authentic Series I guise, except for its improved steering box from a later model. Elvis heads to Shropshire to source the original rear axle, while Mike headed to Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Coventry to source the Series I bulkhead, wheels, and perform further inspections on the car. Mike obtained the Land Rover's heritage certificate and discovered that it was first registered in 1954 in Porton Down and used for 10 years before being decommissioned and re-registered for civil use and was originally gray. Restored car taken to Rocket Propulsion Establishment to pay homage to its military heritage. Sold to a buyer from Jersey.
