That’s despite the vehicle’s condition – it has no headlights, smashed windscreens, no interior fitments, and not even any seat cushions. Not to mention the fact that it comes with a non-original engine – and that isn’t even fitted.

The seller, Tim Hughes, says that the car is chassis number one, and left the Solihull factory on January 15, 1957, when it would have cost around £800 brand new. It is an 88in wheelbase model with an open bodyshell, although the seller points out that the pick-up cab was home-made and added later.

The logbook suggests that the Land Rover was used on a farm until 1982, at which point it was laid up, and has remained unused ever since.
