Comprehensively restored in 2021/22 at a cost of c. £33,000
Early Series II, chassis number 83
In current ownership for over 30 years
The Appeal
The second-series Land Rover is often regarded as the best-built and most versatile of the illustrious off-roader's lineage. Not only was it the best selling, it was the most enduring - it's still not too surprising to see one tootling its way through a rural town centre with a trailer stowed behind it!
It's also amongst the most handsomely styled, being the first to receive attention from Rover's styling department with David Bache's distinctive 'barrel side' waistline. This 1959 example is particularly special, being one of the earliest Series II models produced (chassis number 83).
This 109" Safari Station Wagon has benefited from a meticulous restoration completed in 2021/22, with careful attention paid to maintaining originality while incorporating subtle upgrades for improved usability. Having been in the same ownership since 1994, it's a car with heaps of provenance!
