For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, Land Rover® Series 2a ragtop in Marine Blue (1962).
Petrol 2286cc. MOT Exempt. Tax Exempt. Seven Seats including driver. Weber Carburettor. Heater with front demist. Sun Visors.
We are delighted to present for sale this early Series 2a, in popular ragtop configuration. This vehicle still sports the ‘three letters, three numbers’ registration of pre-1964 vehicles, which is now becoming increasingly desirable amongst enthusiasts. This is because the registration is dateless – we don’t often have vehicles this early with such a good numberplate, and we get asked for these more and more!
Externally, the vehicle is very ‘stock’ – the wing-top mounted mirrors, rear grabhandles, vintage numberplates, recent canvas, rear mudflaps and rear step all compliment this look well – it looks just as it should with no nasty additions – the only notable modern feature being the 700 tyres (slightly bigger than normal for additional gearing with the period look) and the towball and electrics to allow towing – a handy feature to have. The paintwork is of a good standard, better than we see normally – evidence of a spray painted finish in times’ past.
The standard feel extends to the interior – there are three front standard seats, with deluxe matting to the footwells. There is a heater fitted with front demist – a very expensive and desirable option both in the time (and today!) to prevent freezing up on the coldest days! The rear houses a pair of bench seats with a load mat to the floor, allowing seating for seven including the driver. The spare is housed correctly on the rear of the bulkhead, as pictured.
Out on the road, this old girl drives just as she should – delivering a pleasing period experience with a little more verve thanks to the uprated Weber carburettor and the slightly larger rubber giving a more comfortable cruise.
In summary, if you are looking for a classic Land Rover® that can carry all the family, then this could be for you. With the period looks and experience, aided slightly by the modern additions made, this should prove to be both a solid investment and a car ready for work or play. The added bonus of MOT & Tax Exemption, the rare (and valuable) 3 digit, three letter numberplate and classic insurance, it should prove cheap to own long-term whilst holding its value and appreciating over time. We’ve grown fond of this vehicle – it is lovely to see such a period looking (and driving) Series 2a!
