1962 Land Rover Series IIA 88”
Highlights
- Advisory-free MOT valid until 12th March 2025 (although exempt)
- Subject to a significant quantity of professional work in 2022 and 2023
- Modernised with Series III front wings, valance panel and radiator grille
- ULEZ compliant and exempt from road tax
- Equipped with parabolic leaf springs and freewheeling front hubs
The Appeal
Owing to their rugged construction, straightforward engineering and immense off-road capability, Series Land Rovers are among the most usable classics around. They’re well-suited to Britain's potholed roads, simple to maintain and a useful addition to any driveway, as well as being enormous fun when laden with family and friends as you amble along to your favourite pub on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Here we have a particularly well-sorted example - a 1962 Series IIA which has been subject to a significant quantity of professional work during recent years. While its appearance has been updated in the past to resemble a Series III (1971-84), this Land Rover is much older and benefits from road tax/MOT exemption as well as being ULEZ compliant.
It’s well presented throughout and we understand that it drives well thanks to the copious recent expenditure on the mechanicals.
