The Appeal
Sometimes you're looking for a project, a car you can spend many a long evening underneath as you swear loudly at a rusty bolt that simply won't come undone. But there are other times when a freshly restored vehicle is just what the doctor ordered.
Take this Land Rover Series IIA for example. Having been comprehensively restored by an enthusiast of the marque, it's ready to jump in and enjoy. Currently configured as an open vehicle with a simple 'Bikini' top, it's the perfect candidate for summer motoring, so you can waste no time in enjoying this Series IIA on Britain's myriad country lanes.
