Description
Tidy SII from 12-year ownership; extensively refurbished in 2016 with
new rear cross member, engine and gearbox rebuild, fitment of O/D, Exmoor Trim
canvas top and seats; regularly used since
Built
in July 1960 and first registered in January 1961, this lovely Land Rover Series
II has remained a UK model, Home Market spec truck, fitted with the venerable
2.2 litre four-cylinder petrol engine finished in Bronze Green and was supplied
new by London by Henly’s of London, according to the
BMI Heritage Certificate on file.
Our
vendor has enjoyed the truck since purchase in February 2011 during which
time he has gently restored it and used it regularly. Works
undertaken by our vendor between 2011 and 2016 include a strip-down to chassis
and bulkhead, then soda blasted. A
new rear cross member was fitted along with an outrigger with the whole
structure painted with Jawel 2k anti-corrosion paint. The bulkhead was also repaired and
protected along with the axles.
New leaf
springs were fitted with new bushes, U-bolts and shocks. The engine was stripped
and rebuilt along with the gearbox
and a ‘Roverdrive’ Overdrive fitted for easier driving in modern
traffic.
A stainless steel exhaust, new
Autosparks wiring harness and lights have also been fitted with all galvanised
parts re-galvanised too. The wheels
were treated to a soda blast and refinished in Bronze green with new tyres
including the spare. Brake pipes
have also been renewed with new
shoes, cylinders and master cylinder.
A new front bumper, wing mirrors, door rubbers and tailgate rubbers were
also fitted.
Inside, a set of Exmoor Trim delux
seats have been installed with factory rear seats fitted and a new Exmoor Trim
canvas top really finishes it off.
Our vendor
used the vehicle on the 70th Anniversary parade up the hill at
Goodwood which was a super event by all accounts, and he has continued
to enjoy the truck regularly.
The history file
includes the V5C, aforementioned BMI certificate, 14 old MOTs, list of works
carried out by the vendor, 70th Anniversary parade docs and an old-style
V5.
Ready to be enjoyed, this is a lovely and
very usable example with much to offer.
