Description
1960 Land Rover Series II, restored, 200Tdi conversion
This 1960 Series II has been restored by me over the course of a year, from the chassis up. If you have any questions about any part of the work, just ask, I’m happy to talk through what’s been done.
With a galvanised chassis and new galvanised bulkhead, this 200Tdi conversion has only just been completed. It has no leaks, pulls very well, and is fitted with the sought-after 11L engine, which is very tuneable and increasingly hard to find in this condition, with the original engine-driven cooling fan retained rather than removed during the conversion.
Engine mileage shows 89, 700. This is taken from the donor Defender; unfortunately no supporting documentation is available as the donor vehicle was scrapped.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
Please note: this is a 65-year-old Land Rover Series II. While it benefits from a more modern engine, the running gear, drivetrain, brakes, steering and suspension remain period-correct.
The vehicle drives and has been used locally (around 20 miles), performing exactly as expected for a classic of this age. It is not suited to long-distance motorway use and should not be purchased with the expectation of a cross-country drive home.
As such, collection by trailer or transporter is advised.
This is an honest, high-quality classic, ideal for local use, shows, green-laning, or enthusiast ownership, rather than a modern daily driver.

OTHER DETAILS

• Two previous owners (effectively one, as the last did nothing with it)
As with any classic vehicle, ongoing maintenance should be expected. If being particularly fussy, the door tops could be changed, otherwise this is a very strong, well-presented example.
Another project means I sadly need to let it go.
