For sale on eBay, June 2013. The winning bid of 8 was £2,150.99. It was for sale in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, but the new location was then unknown. The Seller wrote:
This was bought by myself as a project in 1999 and has been in my garage untouched ever since. Photos show general condition it is completely dry and has been garaged for the last 14 years. It is a project for complete refurbishment and is a non-runner. Garage rebuild forces sale. I have the V5 and the last M.O.T certificate from Oct 1992. It will have to be viewed in the garage as it won't start and was pushed onto lawn for photos. Original canvas top not ripped or split.

These were the pictures that went with the listing:

The description included:
To ex-MOD [sic] specification, chassis 111701995 has only just emerged from a painstaking 'chassis up, body off' restoration by skilled technicians. Fully re-wired to correct period specification, the Landie has also had attention paid to its steering, suspension and brakes etc, not to mention a thorough engine overhaul courtesy of classic engine specialists Agra Engineering Ltd. The powerplant in question being a correct-type but replacement 2-litre petrol unit that is thought to date from its military [sic] days. Sporting a new canvas tilt and fresh tyres, the 4x4 is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine and interior trim (while, he rates the transmission as 'good'). Given the ever increasing costs of professional restoration, this decidedly smart Series I represents good value for money and comes with Heritage and MOT certificates (the latter valid until June 2016).
