HIGHLIGHTS
• High-quality restored SIIA
• Canvas rear tilt
• Restored by Land Rover specialist in 2009
• Recent body improvements
THE APPEAL
In many ways, the Series II and IIA are the epitome of the classic Land Rover.
Introduced in 1958, the new body design added a touch of stye to the original utilitarian mix, becoming the first Land Rover to feature the model’s famous ‘barrel sides’, which were as much about practicality as they were about improving the looks, as they increase cabin space, albeit to a still fairly cramped level.
But hey, this is an old Land Rover and utilitarianism is part of its appeal, if not the very core.
The SII/IIA was also the first to feature a choice of 88 or 109-inch wheelbases, which would go on to be used on Series Land Rover models right up until 1986, when the Series models were still sold alongside their coil-sprung successors.
This example is a 1965 Series IIA in ‘proper’ Land Rover form – no rear seats, a canvas tilt and precious little in the way of creature comforts. Just how they should be, indeed, for the full immersive experience.
It was restored by a renowned Land Rover specialist in 2009 and has recently seen some cosmetic fettling in the hands of its current owner, who has improved it since he purchased it.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
• Tax and MOT exempt
• Old receipts from previous rebuild
• Recent invoices for cosmetic work
• UK V5C
The Land Rover saw some pretty comprehensive refurbishment in 2009 when it was fully restored by the Huddersfield Land Rover Centre, a renowned specialist in Yorkshire.
At the time, the entire truck was rebuilt on a refurbished chassis and it has covered around 14,000 miles since.
Like all older restorations, however, it has aged a little in the past 13 years and the vendor has just had both sides repainted to bring it back up to A1 condition. There are a few documents relating to both older repairs and the original restoration.

Although tax and MOT exempt, it is being sold with a current MOT test valid until October this year.
THE INTERIOR
• Retrimmed seats
• Lucas wiper motors
• New mats
• Repainted with new gear knobs
It’s pretty basic inside the Land Rover, as you might expect.
There’s a simple bench seat and a double dial dash, the odometer displaying the mileage since the Land Rover was restored. It has electric Lucas wiper motors inside, plus red and yellow lever for 4WD and low range, but that’s about it.
New floor mats and retrimmed seat cushions make it look smart throughout.
THE EXTERIOR
• Older restoration
• Excellent chassis
• Recent repaint to both sides
• Refurbished wheels and recent tyres
The SIIA was restored in 2009 by a well-respected specialist and the work carried out has held up well, with no rust problems to the chassis, crossmembers, bulkhead or outriggers – all the areas where any died-in-the-wool Land Rover enthusiast will look.
Both sides have recently been repainted to compensate for faded paintwork.
The wheels have also been refurbished recently, while the Land Rover also has an as-new beige canvas tilt for the rear end.
Recent work also included two new front door skins ( driver and passenger) and new rubbers to go along with these. A new rear door has been fitted as well.

THE MECHANICS
• 2.25cc 4 cyl
• Starts and drives well
• Low and high ratios gears work as intended
Powered by Land Rover’s stalwart 2.25-litre petrol engine, the SIIA starts and runs really well and sounds great.
The vendor reports that there are no known issues and that it drives really well for an old Land Rover, while parabolic rear springs take the edge off the unforgiving ride normally associated with the model.
SUMMARY
This is a really smart example of a well-restored SIIA in need of nothing from its next lucky keeper.
It’s in remarkable condition, with no discernible faults, and is completely ready to be enjoyed, either as a show standard SIIA or a great example of a Series Land Rover that’s still more than capable of a day’s work or two.
It’s an icon, and it’s in lovely condition inside and out.

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.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
