The Background
The Land Rover was originally a British equivalent of the Second World War derived (Willys) Jeep. It soon gained a worldwide reputation for ruggedness and versatility. Using a steel ladder chassis and an aluminium alloy bodywork, the Land Rover originally used detuned versions of Rover engines.
The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2018 from the person who had purchased it from The Land Rover Centre, Huddersfield, immediately after it's rebuild and respray in 2009. Full service history since 2009 and MOT certificates are available.
In 2009 the vehicle had a comprehensive overhaul including rebuilt engine, gearbox/transfer box and inside/out respray.
The current owner has had the door upper halves replaced and the roof resprayed plus a new tilt.
Only fault is the heater matrix which is disconnected and will need attention.
The current owner had decided to let her go as it is no longer needed and he doesn’t have the space to keep it.
The paperwork history only goes back to the purchase from Land Rover Centre Huddersfield in 2009 but this does include the purchase receipt from Land Rover Centre Huddersfield and all MOTs since then.
According to Land Rover Centre Huddersfield, they purchased it already restored with Galvanised chassis, rebuilt engine, rebuilt gearbox, rebuilt axles, rebuilt brakes and steering, new wiring loom, new tyres and a full respray inside and out. Photos of the vehicle “as sold” in 2009 are available.
The interior of the cab is in excellent order with no damage to the upholstery, which remains as good as when it was replaced in 2009. The paintwork on the bulkhead, doors and instrument panels is in good order and the patina on the spoke steering wheel typical of early Series IIs, is charming.
The floor mats in the main cab and the rear are in great condition and are not hiding any areas of corrosion. At some time the vehicle was fitted with three point seat belts. Behind the passenger seats is the original starting handle in its stowage fittings. The secure stowage area under the passenger seat is in great condition.
The interior heater matrix was disconnected by the previous owner and needs to be repaired.
The rear load carrying area has signs of wear and tear, but this is moderate for a utility vehicle of this age.
Finished in classic Land Rover green with cream roof (restored 2020) and tan tilt (new 2018) which is much admired.
Generally very well presented with a lovely shine across the green bodywork and the newly re-painted cream roof. There are some minor scratches which the current owner decided to leave untouched to reflect the age and use of the Series II, its an honest vehicle with expected patina.
Both doors have had new upper halves fitted in 2020. The lower doors would benefit from slight restoration since there is evidence of some bubbling of the paintwork as shown in the photos.
The tailgate has a dent where it was allowed to drop onto the tow ball at some time.
The ½ tilt (with windows) is in excellent condition as it was replaced in 2018 and the vehicle has been garaged since then.
The original owner in 1965 chose not to pay extra for locking door handles – it can be supplied with a Disklok! The wheels and tyres are all in good condition.
This 56 year-old Land Rover starts very well and the 2.25 litre petrol engine runs very smoothly; unsurprising given the rebuild prior to the sale in 2009. The vehicle benefits from a galvanised chassis sitting on restored suspension front and rear. The gear box and transfer box operate without any whines.
The engine torque and relatively low ratio of 2nd gear mean that it is rarely necessary to pull away in 1st. Third and fourth gears are synchro meshed.
The Land Rover IIa is a well sought after vehicle in today's market and this example is an honest vehicle with lovely patina and character.
Whether you're going to use it as a work horse or enjoy it as a Sunday treat only this vehicle was built to last and will serve you well in both situations.
The restoration the vehicle received in 2009 is tired in places now but on this kind of vehicle it only adds more character and it really rather suits it, they were meant to be used.
If you're looking for a vehicle of this type they don’t really get much more British than this especially in this classic colour scheme. A true piece of British history.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
