FOR SALE: Land Rover 88" series 2a, first registered
08/01/1980.
I've owned her for about ten years; I had a house in the
South of France that I originally used as a main home and then used as a second
home. I'd always wanted a Series IIa and found this one; we bought her and
drove her down to the South of France with family on board, family dog and
towing a trailer. She stayed at our house in France, and once we moved back to
the UK, was used as a runabout whilst we were staying in France on holidays.
She's always run well and anyone who's looking at these
knows how desirable they are. This is a lovely example, unmolested, not
modified with big wheels/high lift etc and is ideal for either restoration, work
and use as she is (a good honest workhorse) or even turning into a
fully-fledged off roader for green laning etc. She drives beautifully and
always has done.
It's currently on SORN and also doesn't have an active MOT;
my daily is a Discovery 3 and so I've not got back round to putting the old
girl back on the road. Obviously any inspection or appointment is more than
welcome; I live in Swanage (BH19) and if you would like to come and see her,
please let me know in advance and we can sort something out.
These are really versatile; it's got bench seats in the back
(great for kids) and the top unbolts (these are all modular etc so it's all
interchangeable) - great for summers!
She's also got the freewheeling hubs so great basis for off
roading. She's also got an overdrive fitted so cruises nicely on the motorway.
As she's spent the last ten years in the South of France,
she's in good order - remarkably little rust apart from surface rust, and been
well looked after. What she needs now is some TLC but she's a good, solid,
honest vehicle who needs to be taken on and restored back to everyday order.
I've also fitted a new battery to her and she turns over
fine but hasn't caught. I've not had time to get her going and points etc
probably need looking at and replacing, but these really are indestructible
vehicles and will be a lovely little project for someone. Mileage - I've not
listed as with a car this age, who knows exactly what it is, it's had a
replacement instrument cluster at one time so she needs looking at and
appreciating.
Unfortunately, I can't devote the time and attention she
needs to getting up and running but she really is all there and together. Once
MOT'd and taxed, it'll be a fantastic car for someone and I genuinely will be
saddened to see her go.
The car is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to
end the auction early; any questions, please message me here or contact me
directly.
She will need trailering away as there is no MOT etc
currently.
Cash on collection please or bank transfer - keys and V5
release upon cleared funds!
Thanks for your interest.
