LANDROVER SERIES 2A LWB DIESEL 1962 1164 DF FOR RESTORATION
ONLY 1 OWNER FROM NEW AND HIGH SPECIFICATION
hello and welcome all to my auction, for your consideration
is this landrover series 2a lwb diesel dating from 1962 and registered 1164 DF,
recently pulled from its resting place in a barn where it has sat
untouched for many many years upon the death of its owner, originally purchased
new when he was just 16 years of age and used by him until the 1990s when an
engine failure deemed the landrover U/S, the landrover was then parked in a
barn and left, only to see the light of day again in november of 2014 upon his
death and the dispersal of his estate where it was purchased by me, initially purchased as a restoration project
by me however over the next few months interest has been lost and is now offered
for sale, the landrover has a high specification for its age and boasts a fairy
overdrive, engine operated capstan winch, tudor cab heater and rather a large
turbo, all of which i believe are not standard specification, the landrover is sold strictly as a NON
runner and an investigation into its initial engine failure will need to be
done, i did try to start the engine checking the more simpler diagnosis and it
does turn over fine however it fails to start so please bear this in mind when
bidding, also brakes are U/S due to perished seals in the brake master
cylinder, the chassis however looks to be in good order and the landrover
stands very level, evidently many layers of red oxide and grease over the years
have done a sterling job in preserving it, one area of the chassis however that
will require work is at the very front where the bumper fixes on and where the
front spring hager is attached, (there is some deep corrosion in this area),
other than that the chassis looks good as does the bulkhead (with the exception
of some minor little bits), all in all a good base for a restoration and i do
have a v5c logbbok in my name, please bear in mind the length of time that this
landrover has stood and that some degree of attention / recommissioning will
surely be required, also to be noted is the absence of the front seats, offered
without reserve to the highest bidder
