The Appeal
The Series II is arguably where Land Rover came into its own. While the Series 1 was indisputably a success, the barrel-sided second generation became the blueprint for more or less every Land Rover that followed, all the way up until the end of the Defender in 2016.
With its classic lines, rugged off-road ability and sheer endurance, these 4x4s are beyond iconic - they're a fixture of the British countryside even today, and are still in high demand. Fully refurbished and meticulously maintained, this 1961 example of the Series 2 is ready for both show and adventure.
This vehicle boasts a comprehensive history file, detailing its refurbishment and consistent annual servicing, with notable features including a galvanised chassis, seating for nine people and, of course, little creature comforts such as USB charging ports. It's recently been serviced, it carries an MOT until June 2025, and it's finished in that oh-so-evocative mid-grey that'll appeal to even the most discerning of enthusiasts.
Put simply, this Landie has everything going for it, and makes a lovely, classic alternative to your standard people carrier. Imagine doing the school run in this?
