The Appeal

Here we have the Spanish-built variant of the legendary Land Rover Series IIA, produced under licence by Metalúrgica de Santa Ana. These vehicles share the rugged, go-anywhere character of their Solihull-built counterparts while carrying a distinct identity that has earned them a dedicated following among Land Rover enthusiasts.

This 1966 example has been treated to a comprehensive restoration. The bodywork was separated from the chassis to allow thorough attention throughout, the engine was stripped and rebuilt, the bodywork repainted, and the interior restored while retaining many original components to preserve authenticity.

The vendor describes the vehicle as very well-maintained and highly reliable. With a current MOT in place until May 2027, this Santana is reportedly ready to be enjoyed.
