For over seventy years, Land Rover has been at the forefront of agricultural off-roading capability, synonymous with ruggedness, reliability, and, more recently, luxury. The Land Rover Tipper was designed for hauling and dumping heavy loads such as sand, gravel, and construction debris. It was a versatile vehicle and became popular for construction sites and other heavy-duty applications.
This particular Land Rover Tipper is a rare factory-built model, identified by its original PTO drive, gland packed rams, and tank. It was manufactured by Land Rover’s separate agricultural division. Under the hood, it boasts a robust 2. 25-litre four-cylinder engine producing 77 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque (175 N. m), paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case for plenty of low-end torque and off-road capability.
Originally purchased in Wellington in 1967, this New Zealand new example was used by a family in Dannevirke for almost 40 years on their farm for feeding and deer hunting and was last road registered in 1998. In 2016, the vendor purchased the vehicle and embarked on a comprehensive six-year restoration by local marque experts. The engine, gearbox, chassis, drive shaft, doors, upholstery, brakes, and pine deck were all restored, with a bare metal respray in Land Rover green.
The vehicle is now running well, with approximately 55, 000 miles on the speedometer, and retains its original black plates. This Land Rover Tipper is a true rarity, sensitively restored to ‘tip’ for decades more.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
