We are delighted to offer this lovely example of a Series 2a. First registered 5th April 1968.
TAX & MOT EXEMPT
2. 25 Petrol engine. The vehicle has been rebuilt to original specification and a vast majority of original parts were reused and new old stock parts where sourced where required.
The vehicle is in by far one of the most classic colour combination marine blue with contrasting limestone roof and wheels.
The bulkhead and chassis have both been refurbished. Gearbox fully refurbished. Engine rebuilt block and head have been chemically cleaned and pressure tested. Converted with unleaded head. New valves and seats so the vehicle can now run on unleaded. The vehicle is also fitted with an overdrive, making it more drivable on longer journeys.
Fitted with a square Smiths heater. Black vinyl front and rear bench seats have been fitted. A new autosparks wiring loom, new swivels, suspension, steering rods, track rod ends, steering box rebuilt and a new steering relay.
Brakes completely overhauled, axles fully rebuilt. New lights fitted all round. There is so much more to list.
The vehicle is in excellent condition and drives very well. The vehicle has always been dry stored and has travelled very few dry miles since the restoration was completed.
The bodywork on this example is immaculate and all the panels are straight with no dents or scraps. The cappings and windscreen have all been refurbished and finished in silver.
All windows open, all the window channels are new including the sliding windows in the roof.
The load area is exceptionally clean and doesn't show any sights of heavy use and is presented with a rubber mat.
The engine busts into life at the turn of the key. It is apparent that this is a vehicle that has been maintained and covered low mileage it runs as quiet and smooth as any Series Land Rover that we have ever had.
A joy to drive and such fun. Four wheel drive and low range engage, as they should. The gears change up and down as they should it has a very quiet gearbox which is a good sign of its light use over the years. This vehicle will be supplied fully serviced including engine, filter, main gearbox, transfer box, overdrive, diffs and swivels.
The steering is as it should be and the vehicle doesn't wonder on the road like some series vehicles do. The tyres have just been fitted and are brand new.
The vehicle is as clean underneath as on top any inspection is welcome.
