About the restoration
This Series 2A has had a full 400 hour, ground up restoration less than 1000 miles ago earlier this year. The brief was to create the cleanest series Land Rover that will hold its own but will also simplay work. This means engine, brakes, steering and electric components needed to be reliable everytime.
The vehicle was reported to be very good before restoration, but like any unrestored 1966 Landover in needed attention. This included a new galvanized chassis, bulkhead and many panels – of course these are visible due to structural nature of a series Landrover.
Additionally, the engine was fully rebuilt along with all new suspension components. The previous owner was keen to use genuine and / or the highest equity parts throughout and the results both cosmetically and in the way she drives
A detailed folder of restoration pictures can be seen to document this though work
How the car runs, drives and works
Due to the detailed and extensive restoration, GUMP drives better than when he would have left the factory. Meticulous attention to detail ensures EVERYTHING works, the engine starts on the button with no smoke, it runs sweetly and will happily sit at 65MPH all day long. The brakes work as they should, steering is good and all lights, dials, switches and dash dials work.
The vehicle is MoT exempt, is of course ULEZ compliant and also has the benefit of being tax exempt which is a saving of over £260 per year. Four-wheel drive and low range engage, as they should.
Included in the sale will be a spare wheel for the bonnet with bracket, door tops, the cream roof, and a second set of factory ‘narrow’ wheels. Also available is a custom fitted teak floor for the back, brand new, never fitted.
Photos really don't do this vehicle justice, it turns heads wherever it goes.
Like all restorations, the cost of all the new parts and labor totaled considerably more than listed today and these vehicles are most definitely on the ascendancy – A future buyer can then choose between keeping him “stock” or running him in Hipster look.
A properly cool thing this…... It will just get cooler as the years pass. Enjoy the winter and plough through the snow to get some milk for the Nespresso Machine and when the summer comes roll up the canvas and take the door tops off for those summer pub nights, or the beach with the hound and a cold beer.
Two looks in one vehicle…. Hipster Cool with tilt or factory correct wheel / tyre / hard top. Whichever picture you have in your mind
