Description
Land rover series 2a
Restored onto a Galvenised chassis by a retired engineer who painted the chassis gloss black to retain its original look and add extra protection.
The chassis used, was from Richards chassis, who are renowned for excellent quality.
The wheels were sprayed in limestone and shod with Mitchellin xls tyres.
Free wheeling hubs are fitted to improve fuel economy and make the steering lighter.
There is an over drive fitted which makes for a better top end by reducing the revs and acting as a 5th gear which also improves the fuel economy.
Being a late model 2a with the maltese grill, it benefits from a single operating wiper motor rather than the earlier individual wipers and a more efficient rectangular smiths heater.
During the recent restoration the bulkhead was refurbished and the paintwork was spray painted in marine blue. The front seats were refurbished and the rear bench seats are new as is the matts.
The black hood is brand new and has contrasting sand coloured piping/ straps, fitted over galvanised hoop sticks.
The 2. 25 petrol engine was restored and has recently had an oil and filter change.
