Where to start ?
This Land Rover has been the subject of a complete, ground up, nut and bolt restoration, with attention to detail being the watchword – No expense spared !
The result is, arguably the best Series IIA Land Rover available for sale . . . Anywhere.
As good, if not “better” than new !
It is difficult to describe the time, and effort that has gone into building this Land Rover – but below is a list of the major work carried out. Obviously this is not an exhaustive list, but it does give an insight into the detail and quality of the work . . .

This Land Rover is a pleasure to drive, and turns heads wherever it goes.
Finished in traditional Land Rover deep bronze green, and riding on a brand new set of Avon Traction Mileage tyres – this must surely be the epitome of a 1960’s Land Rover ??
