1965 Land Rover Series IIa 88-inch

Description

Cracking colour scheme; lots of expenditure in the late 2000s; galvanised chassis; ready for work or play

This Series IIa comes from a small collection of cars from South Wales and boasts a large history folder that shows lots of expenditure from 2008-2010.

We see invoices for a galvanised chassis in January 2008, shocks and suspension bushes in April 2008 along with new chassis and engine wiring harness. A new rear canvas was supplied by Exmoor Trim in dark blue with nicely contrasting tan drop down sides, the latest of the invoices are dated 2011 and consist of a brake rebuild kit, new front and rear wheel bearings and a new front exhaust section.

Presenting nicely inside and out, the bodywork looks good and the dark blue paintwork is holding its own in our classic car barn, sitting pretty on a set of cream painted wheels.

Tax and MOT exempt, we can see MOTs were a common occurrence between 2008-2017, the tests show any failures or advisories were taken care of although the car only travelled some 300 miles per year.

Now showing 99,344 miles on the odometer, this Land Rover appears to be in good working order, starting promptly, running and driving nicely on our site, there’s little this Series II would benefit from more than some regular use.
