1966 Land Rover® Series 2a *Parabolic Springs* (JYW) SOLD

For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, Land Rover® Series 2a in Marine Blue (1966). RESERVED

Petrol 2286cc. MOT & Tax Exempt.  Parabolic Springs  Free Wheeling Hubs

We are delighted to present for sale this rather handsome 2a, presented in hard top configuration. As can be seen by the photos, this vehicle has come from a good home - a lovely chap who's owned and loved her for over ten years, carrying out lots of regular maintenance and improvement in that time. There is a large file of receipts to document this - and this is certainly reflected in the general standard of the driving experience.

Externally, there is a real vintage feel to this old girl - the lovely chrome additional spotlights (working of course!) look good, and there's all the extra goodies you would hope to see..... period plates, bonnet mounted spare, a set of four recent tyres to improve gearing ratios and off road capability, wing mounted mirrors, deep sills, reversing lights (working !), lamp guards, mudflaps, towbar, and a very handy catflap and tailgate set up - meaning conversion to full soft top would be very simple to conduct if required. The tailgate is also ideal for sitting on with a cup of tea or something stronger to watch the world go by, sheltered by the roof above!

The interior has survived looking just as it should - there are deluxe seats, heater, twin wipers and deluxe mats. The rear is unfitted but can be retro fitted with seats if needed - indeed, rear windows can also be installed if required!

Out on the road the well maintained petrol engine pulls well, aided by the parabolic spring set up. The larger tyres make for a more relaxed cruise, and the free wheeling hubs reduce vibration and wear. It's a nice drive.

As previously mentioned, there is a good sales pack with this old girl, and there is a large (pictured) clutch of tax discs (1988 - 2014) which show that the vehicle has been in constant regular use for long periods - something we prefer to see.

If you are looking for a good, honest 2a, with a good provenance then this old girl is looking for you to give her a loving home for the next 50 years of her life.
