TWO classic Land Rovers could sell for a combined price of up to £20,000 when they go under the hammer at auction.
Dorset-based Charterhouse Auctioneers are putting up the Rovers, which have never left the West Country, in their classic car auction at on Thursday March 3.
Charterhouse founder Richard Bromell commented: “Land Rover has such a loyal following whether old or new.
“With an international club scene, a vast number of parts suppliers and off-road events they will always be popular, not forgetting they are still in use as daily transport for many and are often seen on the school runs.”
First up is a 1970 Series IIA Land Rover, which was originally used as a recovery truck for Windsor Road Garage in Bristol.
Underneath the old paint lies a new galvanised chassis and other mechanical work has been carried out to keep the vehicle roadworthy. This Land Rover is estimated at between £8,000-10,000.
This is followed by a 1982 Land Rover Series III County. It was purchased by a family in 1985 as a working Land Rover and was soon painted in Russet brown.
It was stored in a barn in 2014 until re-emerging recently. This County model is estimated at £6,000-8,000.
