The Appeal
Ask anyone to imagine the quintessential classic Land Rover, and they’re probably thinking about something exactly like this. Here we have a short-wheelbase 1966 Land Rover Series IIA, resplendent in the iconic scheme of Bronze Green with Limestone wheels and a sand canvas tilt.
As the photographs attest, this Landy is in smart condition for a vehicle of this age and nature, with commendably straight “Birmabright” alloy bodywork, clean galvanised trims, very presentable wheels, and an exceedingly well-kept roof. The interior looks similarly well-maintained, with minimal signs of wear to its basic black vinyl. Under the bonnet lies Land Rover’s venerable 2.25-litre petrol engine, and eagle-eyed enthusiasts will already have clocked the free-wheeling front hubs, which really make a difference when diving on the road.
Exempt from road tax and MOT now’s the time to buy this open-topped Land Rover to enjoy the rest of the summer.
