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.

Land Rover Lightweight, Spares or Repair, Barn Find, ex MOD/Army

Here we have a Series 111 Light Weight, barn find. The chassis appears to be in great shape, it has had some nice quality repairs. The rear crossmember would be best replaced, it appears to be original and in poor condition.

There is a gearbox to go with it and a heap of the original 24v equipment. The original 5 bearing engine is there but dismantled, I have no knowledge to why this was done.

I also have a 3 bearing engine available by separeate sale, shown in the pics. Also available is a 2.5 non turbo diesel from an ex mod 110, complete running including exhaust down pipe.

SERIES 1 LAND ROVER. 1957 86 INCH, A REAL LIFE BARN FIND AND IT'S ALL THERE

GENUINE barn find and so what you see is what you get. Rare Series 1 diesel, 1957 and believed to have been registered at new to the Belgian Air Force. Hence it began as a 4x2 and not the usual 4x4! At some stage during it's life, someone has made it into a 4-wheel drive by making the front axle live. I guess you could easily "reverse" this process. Only about 2 months ago, we had her puffing, panting and blowing some good diesel smoke and so she will run with time and love. Everything is there (somewhere in the sheds!) front wings, front panel, doors, windscreen, hard top, seats etc. Hard top is without glass. So, a real find. Bulkhead a touch iffy on the offside but I have seen a lot worse (see photos) and the chassis is actually not bad. For restoration. Just stating the obvious! Great opportunity.

Genuine "Barn Find" 1963 Classic Land Rover Series 2 Truck Cab - For Sale £5495

original condition with a solid bulkhead and chassis for year - Registration 66 GXE - Valued at £1400


Sellers Comments
I would like this real gem, an original barn find, from a farm in Somerset to go to a club member, or enthusiast. It is in original condition with a solid bulkhead and chassis for year. Lovely patina and paintwork. It was MOT'd back in March. It shows 74,000 miles, believed to be genuine with some old mots, and the engine is strong and drives well. It does not burn any oil or smoke so backs that up. It also starts on the button. A nice transferable number 66 GXE comes with the vehicle at the asking price (number valued at £1,400). However if you are on a limited budget, and do not require the number, I am happy to keep the number and reduce the asking price accordingly. It will need new door tops as they are in need of replacement (new glazed ones are only £100 for two). I am trying to source a pair of aged replacements though. The brake lights at the back are also odd, the foot wheels have been repaired at some stage, not the best job in the world, but are OK and are solid. It has one of the original seats, but they are not in great condition. Would benefit from a new set really. I drove the Land Rover back from Somerset myself, 208 miles without a problem and no need for the big yellow taxi. Sold as a nice re-commissioning project. The Land Rover can be viewed in Kent from Monday 8th June (by appointment only).  sensible offers near the £5,495 asking price considered or £3,995 without the 66 GXE registration number. A great investment with classic Land Rover prices rising fast. Better than money in the bank. The Land Rover is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to the end the listing earlier. £300 deposit within 24 hours of winning bid.
