1968 Land Rover Series 2A 88"

Highlights

  • Spent entire life in North Wales with same extended family as a farm vehicle
  • Comprehensive 2-year restoration with every component stripped and inspected
  • New galvanised chassis
  • Original bulkhead substantially rebuilt on a jig using quality full repair panels
  • Engine fully rebuilt with rebore, new pistons, and hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel
  • Special attention paid to steel/aluminium interface to prevent corrosion


The Appeal

The Land Rover Series 2a is widely regarded as the definitive classic Land Rover - certainly the hardiest and most iconic. Refined from its predecessors while maintaining its definitively utilitarian character, it's still a lumbering piece of off-road equipment with very little refinement -  and all the better for it. Nobody expects a Landie to be an item of luxury - they expect it to soldier on up moors and on fields. 
This particular Series 2a stands out for its comprehensive restoration that took over two years to complete. Make no mistake, this is a true working car, having spent its entire life in North Wales as a farm vehicle for the same extended family before the vendor purchased it in 2023. 

The restoration has been carried out with meticulous attention to detail, with every component reportedly stripped, inspected and either reassembled, rebuilt or replaced using original or quality replacement parts. The emphasis throughout has been on doing things properly rather than quickly, resulting in a vehicle that retains its original character while benefiting from substantial mechanical and structural improvements.

The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it’s worth checking beforehand..
