Series 1 Poll: Which 3 of these 13 Land Rover Series would you take home?

Filmed in South Africa at the Landy Festival held on 22 August 2015

This poll is about desirability? You decide what your criteria is for your judgement.
The question is: Which of these 13 Series Landys will you want to take home and use every day?

Please motivate your choice with a short reason why?

Nos 3 & 8 do it for me. Original spec, great condition and SWB would suite my requirements.

Yes. 3 is in excellent condition for a daily drive

You offered me three, so,
1 My first Landrover was a 1958 series II 109", so that's my personal LWB sorted;
8 a really lovely 88", and I do like that bench seat; and
12 a bench-seated LWB station wagon to make up the set, for when I have passengers.
Now, when can you deliver?
(btw, I notice South African vehicles don't have the genuine green window runners, like ours)

I do think 8 is a very nice car for a daily drive as this car has a lot of friendliness and it looks great.
Which of these would you say is the most original?

That 80" is a very early one, it has had the front springs altered to wide springs and the shackels moved to the rear, also a fully floating back axle.
I like no. 1 stick some FC rims on it and it would do me.

You obviously know your Series Land Rovers.
My car is Nr8 and still the same way i got it. I did not buy it because it was 100% original. in fact when i bought it the seller made me well aware that this car do need some "original" parts.
I know the side mirrors is wrong and the front grill is wrong. Please can you indicate what els is not original? I would like to get it to as close as possible to the original look?
Much appreciated.

I'm no rivet counter, I restored a 1948 back in the 80's so know about early series 1. At a guess I would say your motor is early 1960's. The head lights should be in the middle with a metal grill, the wings look like series 3. The top door hinges are series 3 and the wheels are LWB. I like the proper safari roof you have and the vehicle could well be a genuine safari.
Personaly if it was mine I would leave the head lights in the wings and fit a metal maltese cross grill of a late 2A. I would fit a late 2a steering wheel which is the same as a series 3 wheel, late 2a heater, do a spot of fabrication and fit late 2A wiper mechanism and a Safari interior.
