With only 21 thousand genuine miles, full documented history since leaving the army, all from the same local mot garage. Underneath looks as when it came out of the factory. No Rust at all. All mechanics feel like new and tight, unlike higher mileage models.

This vehicle was only used on weekends and local events, hence barely any miles.

Army Mods - Light control switch to turn all lights off apart from a small follow light in back, for undercover missions (like break lights etc). Rev limiter adjuster at front

A really rare low mileage original landrover.

Land Rover Series 2 109 LWB Pickup Ex-Military 1959 Unfinished Project

Sellers Comments -

For sale is my ex-military 1959 Land Rover Series 2 109 LWB Pickup unfinished project

I bought this vehicle in April this year and worked on it in my spare time. The plan was to finish it completely and either use it or sell it but unfortunately I am going to have to sell it as it is, because I just don't have the time to finish it.

This is an ideal winter project for a Land Rover enthusiast! A lot of the hard work is already done!

This is a solid investment as Land Rovers are going up in value!

Tax and MOT exempt

First registered on 12/07/1959 then registered for civilian use on 10/06/1999 with 4 former keepers since this date.

Sadly it does not have the original engine or gearbox. I have been told the engine is a Sherpa van 2.5 N/A Diesel (but it looks very similar to the Defender engine) with a Defender LT77 gearbox and LT230 transfer box.

V5C present and in my name, chassis number also present.

Bodywork is in good condition. It has had a full respray in matte Deep Bronze Green. There wasn't a lot wrong with the bodywork to start with, it just had a rough paint job and the previous owner had started to sand it down but the body was straight, which is unlikely on a Land Rover!

The wheels have been painted the same colour.

The tyres are in good condition but the near side rear tyre has damage/scoring to the inside.

Mileage reads 133,797 but I am not sure if that is genuine or not.

Sadly I have no paperwork or MOT documents with the vehicle but some information can be found on the DVLA website.

I am currently in the process of finding out the military history, if anyone knows how to find this info please let me know!

It has had many new parts fitted including battery, transfer box input gear and bearings, transfer box cover, front diff bearings, clutch release bearing, handbrake cable, handbrake drum parts, clutch plate, fan belt, rear brake shoes, 2 wheel cylinders on NSF, air filter and fresh oil in the engine, gearbox, transfer box and diffs.

The number plates are in the military style with 3 rows of 2 digits but I think it is supposed to be 2 rows of 3 digits to be completely legal.

The chassis seems to be in very good condition, it may have had a new chassis at some point in it's life.

As this was bought as a project there were various parts missing and I have managed to source most of the parts but there might be the odd bit missing still, I'm not too familiar with Land Rover's so I'm not 100% sure of what might still be missing.

What's left to do:

I have not yet managed to get the engine running so I cannot guarantee that the engine is good. It cranks over, but slowly. I attempted to bump start it by towing it but found out that the clutch is not working. I have bled it but it still won't disengage.

The brakes are spongy so there is a problem somewhere in the system.

The wiring needs some attention, the loom is not connected to any of the front lights and I am not sure if it has a live feed to the lights.

I'm not too mechanically minded but this might be an easy fix for the right person!

Those are the main bits that need doing, then it needs the odd part being purchased such as the sill covers and wiper.

A box of spare parts and nuts/bolts are included as well as the gearbox tunnel covers.

I have described this vehicle to the best of my knowledge.

This vehicle will need to be trailered away, it could be delivered locally at a cost.

Located at Ely, Cambridgeshire.

Sold as seen.

Cash on collection preferred but will also accept bank transfer.

Any questions or to arrange a viewing just ask.

Viewing is recommended to get a good idea of what work is left to do to finish the car.

£200 goodwill deposit required within 24 hours of the auction ending.

Happy bidding!

Land Rover Series 2a 109" Central Electricity Generating Board Original paint!!

Sellers Comments - This has got to be unique! Only two owners, the first was the Central Electricity Generating Board who owned it from 1969 until 1989 when it was sold off. Ordered by the CEGB in orange direct from the Rover factory The next owner clearly loved and cherished it as it is in remarkably original and sound condition. Thank goodness for some reason he didn't paint it! Most of the original livery is in place and the rest could be easily put back on. When released from the CEGB it had 24,997 miles on the clock and it now has 58,848 miles showing. Correct type 2.25 petrol engine fitted which starts on the key and goes well. Superb sound chassis and excellent bulkhead. The gearbox is good and it has a near silent overdrive as well! Fitted with a superb Ramsey electric winch in 1985 which works well. All MOTs from 1989 until 2004 when it was stored away. Exhumed by me a few months ago and then recommissioned including brakes, exhaust,clutch and many other things. This will look great at shows as no one else will have one! New MOT until 4th July 2018. Tax exempt

Landrover Series 3 LWB - 109 ex military

Sellers Comments -

Welcome to the auction of my 'baby' , bought this in a very rundown condition about 18months ago (mid-life crisis etc etc) and have spent a small fortune and time bringing her back to life .

She has now become a 'weekend' car taking the dogs to the beach or going to the garden centre and the only reason I am selling her is to find a new project and maybe one a bit faster!

From research she was first registered in 1984 and spent 10 years at RAF Brize Norton before being released from service and since then has had various owners up and down the country .Current mileage shows 22,000 but would obviously suspect that is 122,000 - who knows ??Last year I did around 800miles and from old MOT history she has only done a few thousand in the past 6 or 7 years.

109 (Salisbury axle) truck cab , new soft top and hoops , sprayed olive green by myself with the union jack  , bodywork is by no means straight (don't think there is a straight panel on her) but all are in good condition and presentable and the various dings/dents do not detract from the general appearance.

Put good defender seats in to try and make it a bit more comfortable but still have the original seats / frames /runners which I  refurbed prior to buying the defender ones - these are in excellent condition and are included.

Spent a lot of time on the chassis - all new outriggers (except the small rear suspension ones which were in good order) , rear quarter and front dumb irons appear to have already been replaced quite recently but not by me . I removed all the old flaking underseal , sanded , cleaned , coated all areas with genolite and painted and reundersealed where necessary . The 'military' crossmember behind the gear box has been patched and I would have replaced but I could not source - it is however, in good order . New floors , refurbing all supports while removed . New door tops , bottoms refurbed - all now in good order . No rust to door pillars or front bulkhead (not that I can find) . Couple of patches to footwells but  do not require replacement , new inner arches.

Twin fuel tanks (all refurbed) , fuel system renewed , cooling system refurbed /renewed , steering joints / arms are new , exhaust new , electrics all working and various new bits , new shocks , new pads etc etc - list goes on and on . Never had to do much to the engine and gearbox itself as all works as it should - just new fluids / service items . 4WD all works as it should   Steel rims are in good condition , tyres have minor surface cracking to walls in places but are in good order

Long MOT -  was done about 2 months ago 

Since I have had it , it has always been garaged and hasn't been out in the rain - hasn't been near mud since I got it.

I have really enjoyed doing this and if it doesn't sell I will keep it another summer

It is not a 'new' car or a professionally restored one and you should expect ongoing maintenance , it is also a landrover and drives like one ! So , unless you have driven one before do not expect a comfy , quiet ride - the radio is for traffic lights only .

Viewing is recommended - I am near Canterbury , Kent

1966 Series IIA 2A Land Rover LWB 109 Station Wagon Safari

Sellers Comments

Wonderful and very rare genuine Series IIA 109 Station Wagon. First registered  05/04/1966. 

Will be sold with fresh MOT, ready to drive!

She drives very well, far better than my SWB Series IIA.

The chassis and bulkhead are original and serviceable. She passed her last MOT without advisories and I will put a fresh MOT on her prior to sale. 

The odometer reads 41823, but that rarely means much when it comes to old Land Rovers. 

The interior retains the hard to find Station Wagon “luxuries” such as door cards, headlining, roof vents, fold-away second row seats and padded bench seats in the boot. She seats 12. The front row seats are fitted with seatbelts which appear to be original.

The Land Rover retains a high degree of originality. There are some special features such as a dash mounted hand throttle (presumably for operating the PTO take-off). Some alterations have been made over the years:

• Converted from diesel to petrol  2.25 litre engine
• Halogen headlamps
• Repainted in a slightly brighter shade of blue
• 8 spoke wheels (including spare)

I bought this Land Rover in October 2016 and have since realised I don’t have time to enjoy her. My short ownership is not a reflection on the car in any way. This is an honest and very rare 109 Station Wagon in driving condition that can be used as-is or as a worthy candidate of a rolling restoration. She had been in the ownership of the chap I bought her from for 35 years. He shed a tear when I drove her away! He had just been deprived of his drivers license due to old age but had been using the Land Rover as a weekend driver right up until that point. The most recent MOT certificate shows that the car was driven a couple of hundred miles a year – regular but minimal usage. When I bought her in October I drove her home to Oxfordshire from Leicestershire without a hitch. I didn’t get round to insuring her and since then have just driven her up and down a private lane every other week to keep the seals lubricated and blow away the cobwebs.

The car comes with a large file of old MOT certificates and invoices dating back to the early ’80s and possibly beyond – I haven’t had time to go through them all. She appears to have been maintained lovingly, with money spent regularly. During my brief ownership I fitter new sparkplugs, distributor cap and rotor arm. She fires up first time and runs smoothly.

Being a genuine 12 Seater Station Wagon this car is classed by DVLA as a minibus and I am told exempt from the London Congestion Charge. She is obviously fully exempt from Road Tax. Comprehensive classic car insurance costs me £130 a year for my SWB and would be similar for this car. Parts availability is among the best of any classic and these are inexpensive cars to maintain.

This Land Rover was originally registered in April 1966 with the license plate GUT967D, but the previous owner had her transferred to a private plate. Before selling her to me she was reregistered with DVLA on an age appropriate plate OGU703D.

Any inspection welcome.

Please note, the Land Rover is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to remove this listing early.

1968 Landrover Series IIa/2a LWB 109" Barn find/Project/Restoration

Sellers Comments - For Sale

1968 Series 2A 109" Landrover

Restoration Project - Runs and drives

Please Note: Harvey Frost Recovery Hook is NOT included in this sale. It will be removed before selling.

I am selling my 1968 Series 2A as I do not have time to restore this to the condition it deserves. I have owned the vehicle for over 10 years, and was purchased as a non-runner. I have had it MOT'd and on the road since I recomissioned it, and it passed its last MOT in November 2015. However a rear wheel cylinder has now seized up and it will not pass another one. The mileage listed is shown on the odometer, but cannot in anyway be verified. I honestly have no idea how many miles it has done in 38 years.

The vehicle is complete, but in poor condition. It has had lots of modifications in the time I have had it, and some done before I purchased the vehicle. The rear springs are heavy duty 10 leaf, and were presumably fitted when the hook was fitted. The Harvey Frost hook is NOT included with the vehicle. Everything else is as seen in photographs. It has an alternator converson fitted, and a SU electric fuel pump under the drivers seat. The original mechanical one is still fitted to the block but bypassed. Has Weber 34ICH carb fitted.Starts and runs first time, even after standing for 6 months without turning. Front tyres are very old, but have quite a bit of tread left they are Colways I think. Rear tyres are younger but still more than 10 years old, Wrangler AP with plenty of tread left on these too. 7.50x16 all round on LWB rims. Has retrofitted mirrors on the windscreen hinges, give excellent view to rear when towing. Rear lights were re-wired recently but main looms are all original. The steering box was rebuilt around 5 years ago when it failed.

Now for the some bad points! Paintwork and bodywork as you can see is dreadful. It was originally blue, but has been resprayed red, then bronze green, then Nato green. It will need completely stripping, respraying and quite a bit of undenting, however all the parts are there and the bulkhead and inner wings, rad panel etc. are all in good condition. I can see no major rot on the bulkhead, the tops, shoulders and outrigger mounts are all solid, though the footwells have been patched and could do with attention. Any restoration would involve a complete stripdown and the buklheads are easily repaired. The rear tub has definitly seen better days, the floor panel will need changing as it was cut about by whoever put the recovery hook in place, and I have had to patch the joint. The sides of the rear tub are creased and dented. Better I think to fit another tub in better condition. The rear crossmember is reasonably solid, however there has been patching to the rear chassis rails on several MOT's to pass, I suspect a new rear half chassis or replacement crossmember with extensions would be the best solution, as the rot keeps reappearing. Front of chassis is all solid. Moving inside the original seats and Smiths heater have long gone, the nearside seat is something unknown and far too high, the drivers seat I fitted is from a Bedford Midi van mounted to a custom frame which hinges up to allow access to fuel tank and pump. Middle seat is unusable. Steering wheel has been changed to one from a Trimuph PI 2500 but the leather is cracked and broken at the top. It has been taped up. Under the bonnet the master cylinder has been reconditioned and an alternator has been fitted, removing the original regulator box. The connections have been maintained at the regulator and one could be refitted and a dynamo replaced (why would you do this?). The engine has seen better days and is exhibiting some big end rumble under load, and top speed is down from the 70mph when I bought it to nearer 55mph. The water pump is leaking from the spindle and will need replacing, however it the engine does start up without any difficulty even after it has been unused for 3months plus. Gearbox and axles have never given any trouble, and as far as I know are original and all work fine, except the reverse detent springs on the gearlever itself, which have long gone. 2WD/4WD and low levers all work correctly.

To be honest I will be reluctant to see this go, but it is getting to the stage where it needs complete restoration and I simply do not have the time to restore another Series at present. I would like to see it go to a good home, but I will not accept silly offers. I know what they are worth both as a barn find and in good condition.

I strongly reccomend viewing before purchase. I can be contacted via email or on 07005 980949. Please be aware that I am unable to take calls at work until after 8pm, please call befor 11pm or at weekends.

1982 LAND ROVER SERIES 3 109 Ex-military

Sellers Comments - Purchased from John Brown Landrovers about 5 years ago and used every year for about 200/300 miles with the kids and bikes and dog walks etc. Ran out of MOT last year and failed only on Brakes. Selling as an easy project as I do not have the time to devote to the old girl. Chassis and Bulkhead sound although underneath could do with a clean and re-waxoil. Needs new door tops ideally and a new battery and the brakes sorting and a general tidy up as she has stood for 6 months under the trees. Other than that she starts and drives well. Never let me down when we were using her. Will need trailering away. Cash on Collection from Cornwall Please.

Land Rover Series 2 109 Double Cab - 200TDi & 5 Speed Gearbox - Selectable 4WD

 Sellers Comments - I am selling my much loved Land Rover Series 2.

The reason its being sold is purely I am looking to downsize the amount of vehicles I have before moving. 

Let me describe the vehicle, it is an ex military ambulance that met an unfortunate demise in the rear body department, now fitted with a stage 1 back body with a double cab roof which  was professionally  tig welded together to fit. The rear part of the cab is off a defender (off an ex James Bond Film Defender) and the front is standard Series. Rear doors are the rare split door version (but unfortunately someone before me fitted speakers in the door cards. Has Defender seats all round.

Chassis is the heavy duty combat chassis with parabolic springs fitted all round. Engine is a 200Tdi with recent cambelt with a full Steve Parker exhaust system fitted. Gearbox & transfer box is a Defender unit with selectable 4WD. Painted in RAF Blue Grey.

Chassis is good and benefits from a replacement crossmember, Chassis is not bent or cracked but has had some repairs in the past. Overall a good useable chassis.

Bulkhead is in good condition,needing no work or repairs as this was all done previously.

This vehicle has plenty of modern features such as hazards, speakers (but no stereo) soundproofing, rear fog light,reverse light etc but still retaining the character and charm of a series vehicle. This has been into Europe several times and has never let me down. I would jump in this and go with this Land Rover.

Summary:

12 Months MOT

200TDi with recent cambelt
Defender transfer and gearbox

Ashcroft selectable 4wd conversion

Custom made roof
Sound proofing

G90 Tyres on Series rims

Parabolic leaf springs
Defender seats

Upgraded Headlights and spotlights through a relays

Steve Parker exhaust system

Split rear safari doors

Freewheeling Hubs
Rocky Mountain door tops

Some people wanted to check the vehicle history online but were unable to do so. I have looked into this and the reason is that the vehicle is registered as an Rover not Land Rover.

It is registered as a Rover Ambulance with its military designation.

So if you want to check MOT or Tax etc please enter WFO 805 and make as Rover then all the information will come up.

This is a used vehicle so there are signs of wear and tear on the vehicle. 

Please bid to buy and not kick tyres

Land Rover Series 1 109" Fire Engine ex Cheshire Fire Brigade

Welcome to my auction for my 1957 Series 1 LWB Land Rover ex Cheshire County Fire Brigade.

It was first registered on the 1st of March 1957.

It is a 109” LWB Land Rover with a 1997cc petrol engine and standard 4 speed gear box with a hi / low transfer box and 2 and 4 wheel drive etc. 

It is a great useable classic that is MOT and Tax exempt and very cheap to insure (it only costs me £68 a year fully comp for 3,000 miles!)

The rear tub has huge capacity as it is 6’3” long by 5’ wide and can carry 1,500 lbs! 

The doors and windows lock!

I am selling it as I have not used it much recently and am short of space.

It went from the Land Rover factory to David Rosenfield Ltd a Land Rover dealer in Manchester

They supplied it to Cheshire County Fire Brigade as a L4P (light four-wheel-driven pump).

It was originally stationed at Hazel Grove.

It then moved to Stalybridge. I was a specialist Hi Expansion Foam Unit which is quite rare. It was probably converted to this configuration to meet the need for fire fighting at chemical plants in the area.

As a result it is much more useable than other fire engines as it does not have the normal water tank and pump etc so has all the LWB capacity and none of the extra weight of other fire engines.

It left the fire brigade on 14th of May 1975 and was sold at Bradshaws Auction Manchester. 

The previous owner did a lot of research and found all this history along with 8 photos of it in service! It is great to have all this history. I’ve included one of the photos in the listing so you can see the then and now comparison.

It lost it reg number a few years ago and carried reg no SSK504 for a while until very luckily I managed to track down it’s original number and buy it back. 

If you google SSK504 and / or YTU390, quite a lot of history comes up. 

It comes with British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, correspondence about it's history, photos etc.

It is very original, I believe the engine, gear box etc are original but the engine number was not recorded on the log book / V5 or the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate so cannot be sure. It looks very similar to how it looked in the photos of it in the Fire Brigade.

It is in great condition for a 58 year old vehicle. It’s speedo only shows 5,725 miles but I do not think this is the original mileage. The chassis is very solid and the bulkhead is in great condition as well. The engine starts easily and runs very well and does not burn to use oil. Everything works as it should even the Winkworth Bell, I am sure it would easily pass an MOT although it is not required as it is MOT exempt. The body work is nice and straight and the paint work is good and looks very well but nether are perfect. It drive well, we drove it to France for the weekend a couple of years ago.

Land Rover® Series 2, 109 *CUTHBERTSON*

.Sellers Comments - For sale, through JOHN BROWN 4X4 LTD, from a private collection, Land Rover® Series 2 in Mid Grey (1959) MOT exempt Tax exempt. 2286cc petrol. Power steering. Beautifully restored several years ago. This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an incredibly rare, handsome, early restored Cuthbertson Land Rover®. It is the only one known to us currently residing in the UK - it is also a very early example from 1959 - a genuine Series 2 with twist type vent openers and stalk mounted horn. The restoration was carried out a number of years ago to a very high standard - and it still looks great - in fact the photos do not really do it justice. Suffice to say, up close the finish is stunning, inside and out. It is very clean throughout, including the under side. This vehicle is in full working order, and "on the button." It is extremely capable off road, and is particularly suited to grassland - indeed it would be ideal to show, or to use on private land - the ultimate off road toy! This vehicle would suit corporate use, or would grace any private collection of rare vehicles with a view to investment.

speedo has never worked since ive had it so i couldn't tell you an accurate mileage if i tried

Passenger seat isnt bolted down due to fuel tank being underneath and never coming up with a decent way to bolt the seat down and still get to the fuel cap

The seats are great for the narrower chap, but others may find them uncomfortable

The Bad Bit

The passenger side foot well has gone a bit rusty with a small hole.

The military in its blood is trying to fight with its cow exterior resulting in some sort of cow-camo, this is really annoying when pressure washing as the paint flakes get everywhere.

This Land rover has seen off road a couple times in my ownership and im sure plenty more times in its life, its got scratch's and dents and a rubbish paint job, but i love it.

Located Louth Lincolnshire
