***1971 Series 2 Land Rover – 2 ¼ Diesel, Tax Exempt, 12 Month MOT***

This is a lovely Series 2a in bronze green.


I bought this Land Rover approx 12 months ago as an unfinished project.  The previous owner had fitted a new front 1/3 chassis and stripped it to its bare bones.

I have rebuilt the bulkhead which includes new footwells, hinge panels and top quarter vent sections.  A new rear crossmember has been fitted.

I have fitted the slightly earlier front end with the centre lights as I think this looks nicer personally.

**The 2 ¼ diesel engine is a rebuilt unit which runs and sounds excellent (really quiet  for a diesel!).  Gearbox and clutch all work as they should do along with the transfer box.

**Brakes have all been gone through with new parts including Lucas cylinders and the previous owner had fitted new copper brake pipes.

**Most of the door seals have been replaced along with vent seals and door window channels, new door tops fitted too.

**New door locks with the matching key and all new hinge pins on doors.

**New lights front and rear with H4 halogen headlight upgrade.

**Fully serviced with all oils changed in engine, gearbox and diffs.

**New anti-freeze.

**Long wheel base wheels with 7.50 tyres.

**All leafsprings are in good order, all been subject to a clean and oil.

**Underneath is fully waxoiled.

Obviously over the years the landy has been subject to some welding but this chassis is original, very solid and with maintenance it will have years left in it.

As with all landies – there is the standard drip of oil, nothing to be concerned about (if you know landies then you know to be concerned if it doesn’t drip oil!)

A new coat of limestone paint has been applied to the roof and wheels and the body work has had a new coat of bronze green – very shiny but not a 2 pack show finish.

Interior has a new set of front seats and the cab area has been freshly painted.  The rear has a load liner on the floor and rear bench seats (I was going to remove these but decided to leave for the new owner to make the decision themselves)

As with all 40+ year old vehicles it is impossible to offer a warranty or guarantee – we sell landies on the understanding they are an ongoing project and will require maintenance to keep them running smoothly.  Although this landy is perfectly fine right now and has passed a full MOT it is impossible to predict when future things may go wrong.  She has had a sympathetic refurb as listed above but I would encourage any inspection.
