Description
For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, Land Rover® Series 2a ragtop in Marine Blue (1969).
Petrol 2286cc. MOT & Tax Exempt. Rare Crossover Model. Recent Canvas. Free Wheeling Hubs. Towball and Electrics. Parabolic Springs. Heater with demist. 750 Avon Rangemaster Tyres.
Here we have for sale a rarely seen crossover Series 2a model, presented in the popular Marine Blue colour scheme, with Limestone wheels and Sand Canvas.
Externally, there are lots of period features, including those which denote it is as a crossover – the maltese grill, the lights in the wings, razor edge bonnet, wing top mounted mirrors, vintage numberplates 750 tyres on steel rims and rear grab handles. There is a towball and electrics to allow towing, which is a useful addition too. In our opinion, all of these items combined gives a very pleasing look – a good mixture between retro motoring, with some handy modern additions.
The interior is largely standard, with three standard front seats, along with deluxe matting to the footwells. There is a square heater fitted under the dash, equipped with front demist vents, which is very handy for winter mornings. The rear is unfitted with the exception of a load mat to the floor area, but could house bench seats on request for £495 to increase seating to seven occupants including the driver.
Out on the road, this Series delivers a pleasing period drive, which is aided by the parabolic springs for better comfort over standard, and the 750 tyres to extend the gearing and give a little more relaxing cruise. The period looks means it attracts glances wherever it goes, and the free wheeling hubs aid the economy by reducing front axle usage and wear.
In summary, if you are looking for an MOT and Tax Exempt Series 2a Land Rover® which is fairly ‘stock’ and won’t break the bank, then this is well worth considering. With classic insurance and strong residual values, it should prove a solid investment for the future whilst also being cheap to run in the longer term.
