Transferable period registration "421 FOW" included in the sale
In current ownership for approximately four years, used regularly as a summer daily driver
Honest, authentic patina
Fitted with Fairey freewheeling hubs
The Appeal
Land Rovers suit the 'patina' look perhaps more than any other car. It's because they were built to work. A well-worn Land Rover is a vehicle that has fulfilled its purpose, and there's something very pleasing about that.
Here we have a delightfully patinated 1964 Series IIA 88". With its 2.25-litre petrol engine, a gearbox offering synchromesh on only third and fourth, and the option to remove the roof and door tops entirely, it delivers a driving experience that is wonderfully analogue and thoroughly engaging.
This 1964 example has been in the current owner's hands for approximately four years, serving reliably as a summer daily driver on country lanes and byways. Crucially, it sits on a galvanised chassis, arguably the single most important upgrade for any Series Land Rover, while the bulkhead is reported to be in very good order.
During the current ownership, a new canvas tilt, new tyres and a recent exhaust have all been fitted, and the vendor states it starts without hesitation and drives well. With Fairey freewheeling hubs at the front and the transferable registration "421 FOW" included, this is a characterful, usable classic with the expensive structural work already taken care of.image.png3.71 MB
