Highlights

Registered on historic plates (targa d'epoca) in Modena province
Italian documentation reported to be in order and can be prepared for transfer or export

The Appeal

The Land Rover Series IIA is among the most recognisable utility vehicles ever built, valued for its rugged simplicity and genuine off-road capability. The short-wheelbase 88-inch variant remains particularly sought after for its compact dimensions and versatility both on and off the road.

This example first entered civilian registration in January 1977. Its '241' chassis number prefix indicates it was originally fitted with a petrol engine, though it now runs a 2.0-litre diesel unit, a popular swap among Series Land Rover owners for the improved torque and economy it offers. The vehicle has been standing for some time and will require a service before regular use, but for those seeking a diesel-powered Series IIA with clear Italian paperwork, this represents a worthwhile opportunity.
