Highlights
- A fascinating and lesser seen Land Rover variant
- Powered by a 2.5-litre diesel engine
- Unusual and innovative features never seen on British made Land Rovers
- Convertible land rover with hardtop
The Appeal
Even for those intimately acquainted with the history and features of British made Land Rovers, the Spanish Santana holds a few surprises. The basic shape and four-wheel drive formula will be familiar, but at the same time, there’s a great deal that’s unique to these curious cars.
This 1987 example represents something of a halfway house between Series and 90/110 models, sitting upon leaf springs but with an overall appearance akin to the concurrent 110.
For those attracted to the Series Land Rover experience with a craving for something that’s a little different, we urge you to consider this interesting Santana.
The History and Paperwork
- Imported to the Netherlands from Spain
- Spanish registration and technical inspection apparently still valid
- Left-hand drive
- 89,746 kilometres
The Interior
- Interesting padded dashboard unique to Santana models
- Simple switchgear and easily legible instrumentation make this a practical space
- Typically sparse and utilitarian
- Black vinyl seats extend transversely across the whole cabin as a bench arrangement
- Various levers to manually engage low range and four-wheel drive
- Ribbed rubber matting lines a useful rear load area
- No rear seats fitted and there’s less wheel arch intrusion than on British models, making this a versatile space
The Exterior
- Attractive sand colour scheme
- Hard top fitted with large rear windows
- Curious amalgamation of Series-style front wings and a 90/110-style bonnet
- Prominent ‘Santana’ badging
- One piece windscreen
- Very practical ‘barn doors’ at the rear, allowing for great access
- Unusual light arrangement that’ll be unfamiliar to owners of British Land Rovers
- Galvanised cappings and bumper
The Mechanics
- 2.5-litre naturally aspirated diesel engine
- Four-speed manual gearbox
- Selectable low range and four-wheel drive
- Leaf sprung all round
Summary
It’s not often you are able to acquire a Land Rover Santana outside of Spain, so if you’re after something a little unusual, don’t miss this excellent opportunity.
