The Land Rover Defender is an off-road vehicle produced under this name by the British manufacturer, Land Rover, since 1991. However, the vehicle is the direct heir of the first Land Rover that made its debut in 1948. The first prototype was built by the British automaker in 1947 and it was designed for the army. This iconic car was improved over the years and it has been known for generations as a national treasure.

1970 LAND ROVER CREW CAB PICK UP BEASTY
Sellers Comments
1970 LAND ROVER
IT'S A BEAST : IT'S IMPOSING : IT'S HUGE : IT'S UGLY :
WHAT THE HELL IS IT ??
These are a few of the more printable questions i've had
regarding the old beasty since i bought her !
I know one thing is there's not another like her, someone
has spent hour upon hour to create this individual Land Rover which wont suit
everybody, (possibly nobody) but please make sure you have permission from your
better half to park this on your driveway and scare the neighbours before
bidding.
Ok, where do i start ?
It has an MOT until 3rd December 2016.
It is registered as a historic vehicle so no road tax to
pay.
It is solid, no structural rust underneath, the chassis
extension has been properly done some years ago to give it a 135"
wheelbase.
It has been fitted with a 6 cylinder Rover engine, has free
wheeling hubs and overdrive. I have not been brave enough to venture out onto
the open road but the driveway at the farm and the field was enough to know its
not for me due to the 'popeye' arms required to turn the wheel when wanting to
park.
I believe the internal rear pick up bed used to tilt but
not sure if it still can, the whole roof has also been built so it would slide
back giving open top motoring for the whole family but again it would need
looking at again before opening ! Hand painted at some point in battleship grey
but chipped paint shows green below. Both front wings are damaged and need
replacing/repairing see pictures.
The interior is a work of art but depends if you prefer
Picasso or Hirst ?
Fully trimmed luxurious seats in the rear with central
armrest and the matching front seats with tilting mechanism so as to access the
rear seating but be aware that you need to be narrow in the hips to climb
through. The whole dashboard and rollcage frame is also covered in the same
material. Loads of thoughtful touches inside so please check out the pictures
in detail.
It runs and drives and you will need a large turning area
to fully appreciate the meaning of the words 'three point turn'. I've seen oil
tankers turn quicker.
A couple of the tyres need replacing due to age/perishing
so although it has an MOT until December these really need changing before a
journey.
She measures just over 18'0" long from bumper to
bumper and i dont like to think about her weight so make sure your recovery man
knows what he is getting into regarding collection.
Any questions please ask away, cash on collection within 7
days please.

Land Rover Series 2a 88", 3.0 V6, Overdrive, new canvas, 1970, Roll Cage
Sellers Comments - Tax exempt Land Rover 2a, 3.0 V6, Overdrive, New canvas, 1970 with MOT until 24 November 2016.
I acquired the Landy at the end of July last year intending to do some mud plugging but have never got to it and it has lain around little used.
Previous owner owned for 10 years and the following is adapted from his description all of which I found to be correct.
A lot of work has been done to keep it in good order. All old V5's since new are present and a certified factory record for the vehicle.

Land Rover Series 2A 1970 Petrol TAX Exempt For Sale
My 1970 Series 2a is up for sale as I need a new roof and this is the third Land Rover in the house and the best one to me. First its a Series 2a TAX Exempt with a series 3 plastic grille and not the correct maltese cross mesh version. The bulkhead, the dash engine and gearbox are all off a series 3 with all these conversations were all done prior to me taking ownership. Since owning the 2a I have had the five rims and external sun visor powder coated. The front disc brakes and cylinders were replaced by Dale Faulkner in Markyate (St Albans) who is the regular mechanic on the 2a. For its age the ride is bouncy and requires strength to drive as its pretty much a tractor with a cab on it and not for the faint hearted. If you have driven one before then you will have been bitten by the bug. The gearbox and diff all have that excellent noise a 45 year old land rover would make and the "standard" jumping out of third now and then when hitting a bump but is handled by always keeping your hand on the lever when driving.

Tax Exempt Landrover - Location Hayes - 1970
Here we a have a series 2a tax exempt ( Historic vehicle) This
vehicle has been off the road for a couple of years (I am now the proud owner
of a 2 year old boy!!!!) I do not have
the time to sort it out. The engine turns over but does not start all the
electrics work and the wheels turn and gearbox seems to still work the brakes
seem to work as well. The bulkhead and chassis are in good condition for the
age. There have been some repairs. I took the roof off and it is not bolted
back on. It will need to be towed or trailered
away. This is a 40 year old car
that has been standing for a couple of years so dont expect a prime car. Please
view before you commit to buy. Cash on collection. Thanks Tim
