I have in the past owned four 1950 Land Rover Series Ones. 
To be fair I used one of them for trials, so it won’t be worth what the other three (all very straight) will now fetch. 
I sold the last two the same week in 2006, just a few years before they really went up in price. I got £2,200 for one and £2,800 for the other. 
One still lives locally and I see it occasionally, fully restored and looking every penny of thirty grand!
