1962 LAND ROVER SERIES IIA

Later 200TDi engine fitted; overdrive; recent new canvas tilt and new tyres; well-maintained and in regular use; keeps up with modern traffic; current enthusiast owners 10 years

Dating from April 1962, this S2A was fitted with a 200TDi engine about a dozen years ago, a well-known transplant which transforms the performance of the vehicle and makes it much less tiring to drive on long journeys. With 111bhp on tap, it easily keeps up with modern traffic. Our vendor and his brother acquired the vehicle in 2010 to use as a workhorse around the family estate in the Cotswolds. Proper Land Rover enthusiasts, they have maintained it carefully ever since, fitting many new parts including a new fuel tank; radiator; alternator; clutch master and slave cylinders; front and rear springs; tyres; acoustic floor mats plus much else besides, all detailed in copious invoices on file. In 2015 it was also fitted with a new cambelt and a new Exmoor Trim canvas tilt. Only reluctantly for sale due to impending relocation, we are told that it has always proved totally dependable during their 10-year ownership and will be sorely missed.
