The Appeal
A galvanised chassis is the greatest gift you can give your Series Land Rover. By replacing its corrosion-prone frame, you're creating one of the hardiest classic vehicles around, future-proofing it for decades to come.
Our 1962 Series IIA was purchased in late 2024 with the sole purpose of undergoing a thorough restoration, and the scope of work carried out is impressive. The vehicle was fully dismantled, with attention given to the chassis, engine, gearbox, transfer case, braking system, suspension, clutch, and radiator, all of which have reportedly been renewed or refurbished.
Cosmetically, the Land Rover has been resprayed, with care taken to retain as many original panels as possible. Inside, new Exmoor trim has been fitted alongside a new hood, and a new wiring harness ensures the electrics are fresh throughout.
The vendor describes the result as a reborn classic that is a pleasure to drive, and with this level of work underpinning it, this Series 2 represents a compelling opportunity for the next custodian.IMG_0117 Richmond.jpeg6.25 MB
