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.

Sellers Comments - Landrover 88" 2.25 litre petrol. Not used since 1990.. only 58,000 miles. Local family owned and bought from original owner, Coventry City Council. (see log book image). Rare UCC Hydraulic pump installed from new with a take off at rear, all working. Mechanically this Landy is all there and works. Engine has had a small service with water pump and Alternator replaced. Starter motor has been rebuilt along with a new carb. (original carb included but will need servicing/ cleaning). Chassis is solid but needs rear member and some welding on back section under tub. Spares included (new knobs, gear gaiter, brake line to rear with flex).

Comes with a truck cab, door tops (need a clean up/ work), Canvas rear tilt with Galv frame. Tin ware for footwells and gear tunnel (removed to clean chassis/ gearbox linkage). No MOT, any inspection welcome. I am away now for a week but can answer any questions by email. May p/x. why... Located near Heathfield TN19 This will make a great investment once mildly restored. Will need trailering away, but will drive for loading etc. Buyer to collect or arrange collection.

Land Rover Series 2A - 1965 2.25 Petrol - 'C' Reg
Sellers Comments - ETL 141C was originally an RAF Vehicle and was decomissioned in the early 1970's (having been built at Solihull in 1965. I hold a certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust which confims the date of manufacture as 4th February 1965 and the type of car and chassis number. The car is registered as an historic vehicle. She has less than 58,000 on the clock and there is good evidence to suggest this is correct to the vehicle (engine considered original and was overhauled to the block in 2013 and the vehicle has not gone round the clock. Chasis number and engine numbers are known and can be supplied on request. She had 2 former keepers, an engineering enthusiast whom I bought the car from (he had owned her for 3 years) and the individual who purchased the car from the MOD. Im selling because I dont really have the skillset to maintain the car. She starts very well and Ive done about 15 miles a week on average for the last couple of years with no issues. She has 4 new tyres and is in good condition for a car which celebrates 51 years in a few days time. Ive lost a windscreen wiper blade which needs attention, the rear view mirror needs putting on and Im short of a side mirror glass to make her legally drive away. The car has the right heritage, type and general condition to make a first class restoration. Recently replaced the leaf spings and put a new exhaust on. Put new tyres on last year and have done only local miles in them. As can be seen, the car has been owned by people who have maintained its authenticity.

Land Rover Series 2A 1974 - 2.25 Petrol
Sellers Comments - 1974 Land Rover Series 2A 2.25 Petrol engine Starts first turn of the key! Gearbox & clutch working fine. Brakes working fine. I bought it with the intention of rebuilding it but other commitments mean I have not got the time to put into it. Bulkhead & chassis are corroded I was going to replace chassis with galvanized one and get the Bulkhead rebuilt & Galvanized as-well. There are no floorpans as can be seen from the photo's. Alot of the parts will need replacing or refurbishing.

LAND ROVER SERIES 3 88" 2.25 PETROL STATION WAGON 6 SEATER 12 MONTHS MOT, OVERDRIVE, REALLY NICE LITTLE SERIES
HERE WE HAVE A LOVELY LITTLE DARK BLUE 88" SERIES 3 2.25 PETROL WITH WORKING OVERDRIVE
THE LAND ROVER PASSED ITS MOT A FEW WEEKS AGO SO THE BUYER HAS THE REASURANCE OF A NEW MOT ON HER
THE LAND ROVER IS A 6 SEATER STATION WAGON ALTHOUGH THE TIP UP REAR SEATS DO NOT HAVE BELTS AS IT WAS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW
I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CAR STARTED OUT AS A STATION WAGON BUT THE CONVERSION HAS BEEN DONE VERY NICELY
THE LAND ROVER HAS SOME NICE PERIOD EXTRAS AND NUMEROUS ADDITIONS WHICH I WILL LIST:
FREEWHEELING HUBS
WHITE 8 SPOKES WITH BFG ALL TERRAINS
OVERDRIVE
EXPENSIVE STAINLESS STEEL SLIDING DOOR TOPS
SUNROOF
CLOTH FRONT SEATS WITH INERTIA REEL BELTS TO MAKE THIS A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE SERIES TO USE
CENTRE HOME MADE CUBBY STORAGE BOX
K+N FILTER
COUNTY SIDE DECALS
REV COUNTER
REAR MUDFLAPS AND LIGHT GUARDS
FRONT HEADLINING
SUN VISORS(VERY RARE GENUINE)
THE SERIES HAS JUST RECENTLY HAD A NEW BATTERY, POINTS, CONDENSER, REAR BRAKE SHOES AND WHEEL CYLINDERS.
THE LAND ROVER DRIVES WELL AND WITH THE OVERDRIVE CRUISES AT BETTER MAIN ROAD SPEEDS(50MPH+)
THE CAR HAS AT SOME POINT BEEN FITTED WITH DEFENDER STYLE WHEEL ARCH SPATS WHICH CAN ALWAYS BE REMOVED AND RETURNED BACK TO STANDARD
THE PREVIOUS ELDERLY OWNER OF THIS LAND ROVER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 12 YEARS AND ONLY DID LOW MILES IN HER AS A THIRD VEHICLE
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE LAND ROVER IS WELL IN EXCESS OF 30 YEARS OLD AND THEREFORE IS NOT PRISTINE, IT IS NOT A RECENT RESTORATION JOB BUT A TIDY PRESENTABLE SERIES LAND ROVER THAT IS SOUND ENOUGH AND WITH A NEW MOT CAN BE IMPROVED UPON OR USED AS IS
THE ONLY AREAS OF CORROSION I CAN SEE IS VERY SLIGHT HOLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR HINGE PILLAR AND A SCAB ON THE SIDE OF THE TOP OF THE BULKHEAD BUT THIS IS ALL EASILY REMEDIABLE
THE SERIES HAS POLISHED UP QUITE NICELY BUT AS ALL WORKING LAND ROVERS HAS A FEW DIGS AND DENTS HERE AND THERE BUT ALL ADS TO THE PATINA OF AN OLD SERIES LAND ROVER
I HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS FOR THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF THE LOCKS ARE FULLY OPERATIONAL SO THE VEHICLE ALL LOCKS UP THERE IS ALSO A LOCKING BONNET AND FUEL CAP PADLOCKS

Land Rover Series 3 truck cab - 1972 - Green Colour - 2.2 Petrol - Classic Land Rover -Location Isle Of Wight
Sellers Comments
This is my 1972 series 3 Land Rover truck cab which was
registered in April 1972 and one of the first of the series 3. I brought this
with the intention of restoring this classic Land Rover. Sadly I just don't have the time and its just
such a waste for it to be sat in the workshop.
It's a 2.2 petrol with good engine, good gear box and the 4 wheel drive
works. The chassis is solid and has only
a few patches of welding which is rare for this vehicle. Its had a new bulkhead in it time before i
owned it. In my opinion the Land Rover
is a fine example for a restoration project.
I have replaced the leaf spring bushes and front shock
absorbers. It is a genuine and straight vehicle. The Land Rover drives perfectly and starts
every time with the benefit of being taxed exempted. The current MOT has
expired but it will come with a full 12 months MOT

about,
The body is in OK condition, with lots of small dents and
scratches but nothing to bad and will look fine when painted,
