Description
Land Rover 88 Series II - 1968 Some vehicles carry a heritage, a history. This Land Rover 88-inch Series II LHD, kept by a farmer in Auvergne for 49 years, is a perfect example. It is a diesel model powered by a robust 2. 25-litre engine, and has been on the road since it was first registered on 2 October 1968.
Every detail has been carefully restored to its former glory: chassis and bodywork completely rebuilt, engine and transmission overhauled, new running gear, brakes, steering, shock absorbers and tyres, and all the nuts and bolts restored.
This meticulous work has preserved the car's authenticity and ensured its reliability for future owners. Its iconic silhouette, combined with the singular charm of the Series II, is enhanced by a new sand-coloured canvas, which traditionally matches the Light Green hue of its bodywork. The body-coloured wheels give it a sober, timeless elegance. The Series II is an emblematic model, much sought-after by enthusiasts, and the interior features personalised upholstery, with the option of choosing a colour to suit your preferences.
A Marshall Bluetooth speaker discreetly integrated into the centre armrest adds a contemporary touch without betraying the spirit of the vehicle. This Land Rover's history file includes a restoration file illustrated by numerous photos, as well as parts invoices. Ready to take to the road with a valid MOT, it is registered as a normal series vehicle, with the option of changing to a collector's vehicle if the future owner so wishes. The names of the owners (3) have been known since 1973. This is a 4th hand vehicle since its delivery in 1968. A rare and timeless vehicle, witness to an era when adventure was lived in the open air, and now just waiting for a new enthusiast to continue its journey. It is the ancestor of the Defender, more solid than a Porsche Cayenne, less agile than a Mini, but just as legendary. It will fit in perfectly with a 911, a Lotus or a superb Ferrari. This Land Rover Series 2 can be seen in Clermont-Ferrand. Best regards,
