Price £750-£3500Dates 1948-1985The definitive off-roader. SWB Landies from the leafsprung era are a motley crew of restos, mods and engine transplants, but search among the horrors and you’ll findgems. Always buy on quality, not age, and don’t expect it to be reliable or any good on the road. Early Series I models now make classic car money, and you’ll see tidy-looking ones with breathtaking price tags.
Buyer beware!Everything that can go wrong will go wrong, from chassis rust to water leaking in through the body. Buy it as a hobby, not a car.
+ Unmatched image, great parts supply- Unreliable, a buyer’s minefield
