1968 Land Rover Series 2A 109 LWB rare 2.6 engine & 1 previous owner & 61,100 ml

1968 Land Rover Series 2A 109 - Long Wheel Base

Only one previous owner.

Sellers Comments 

MOT to 21.1.2017 (only advisory is tyres)

Rare 2.6 petrol engine - 6 cylinder "straight six"

Free road tax (classic vehicle).

67,000 miles (low because spent life on private estate)

Very cheap to insure (Footman James classic insurance for 30s male £92 a year fully comp.)

Only 1 previous owner (V5 states "No. of former keepers 1")

Purchased by myself in 2012 from huge Sussex estate where it had spent its life with one owner.

It's like a time-warp!  Original Smiths square heater, dealer sticker below split windscreen, etc.

I spent a fortune with my independent garage on the mechanicals (making them perfect in my opinion) whilst keeping bodywork and interior original.

New battery (2015)
New roofrack (2013 from Paddocks)
New propshafts (2013)
Recent brake shoes, clutch slave and master cyclinders
Replaced sump, side, cam-cover gaskets along with sparks, ignition system and HT leads.
Full new exhaust system 
And lots of other small mechanical details. 

Tyres are original with low treads, but with low mileage I've not seen need to change them due to low mileage, and they keep originality.

Yes, it's a petrol!  The 2.6 six cylinder engine is very rare, few were originally installed as they were expensive at the time and also so many were taken out in recent years and replaced with a modern diesel as the engine bay, with the larger 2.6 removed, can accommodate TD5s and similar modern diesels.

I spent ages looking for one with this 2.6 petrol. It runs perfectly like a sewing machine at tick-over, roars with revs like a lion, always starts first time, totally reliable, and above all at low local mileages the difference between it and a diesel (from that era) on fuel is about £10 month for myself. 

Also, this engine gives it power to keep up on modern roads, sounds amazing and keeps the driver happy, whilst retaining utter engine originality. 

Bench seats in back with back cushions on sides (used to be estate vehicle). Fantastic practical classic - amazing how much can fit into back!

Drives very, very well. Incredibly reliable. Receives vast amounts of attention from people when out and about - it's original look and patina just makes it look and sound "right".

Selling because I'm emigrating and so reducing my substantial vehicle collection.

Land Rover Series 3 SWB (Tax Exempt)

Sellers Comments - Hi and welcome to my auction. this is a great project all welding has been undertaken that I can see. it has new footwells and has had plates neatly welded on chassis and a new cross member at some point. the land rover has stood out under a sheet for about 6 months since loosing its shed space engine turns freely haven't tried starting. the panels are only loosely fitted for transport. great project with all hard welding work done unfortunately it was lifted under the front end with a forklift when I had to move it in a hurry and I bent the track rod this hasn't been fixed yet.but I should have a replacement to include. an appreciating classic and sound investment. I belive it is now tax exempt under the new rules.

I've tried to describe all aspects below, but I'm not a Series expert:
Chassis - appears sound throughout
Bodywork - generally very good with a couple of minor dents and a short split in a rear quarter panel. 
Paintwork - seems original and polished up nicely on a test patch. There are some scratches I will try and add photos.
Bulkhead - appears sound
Engine - complete and ran when I bought it though there was a problem with the fuel pump. Happy to try and start it for viewings. 
Gearbox, Transfer and 4WD controls all tested OK at that time.
Electrical - Appears complete
Wheels - seem original and OK, spare present
Canvas - Clearly not original, seems all fine

Deposit required (£200) immediately on purchase, balance on PayPal or cash on collection preferred.

Happy to take more photos or look at specific aspects of interest.


1957 Land Rover Series 1 88" Petrol

Sellers Comments - Land Rover Series 1, first registered on 14/11/1957 with the reg number 482 BTU. It comes with a full new log book with 2 previous owners. The way it sits now is how I bought it about 6 months ago from the same place it has stood for over 25 years. I have done a full HPI check on it and it is clean, never written off or scrapped, I would have put a picture up of it but ebay will only let me upload 12 photos, I will happily send more on request. The chassis and bulkhead are salvageable (so I am told by a specialist) but it does need a lot of work and is not for the faint hearted. It comes with 2 mint condition doors that came with it and I am told by the old owner that they are the ones for this and they were put in the shed when it was parked up. I am absolutely gutted to have to sell this but if I'm honest I will never get the time to do it and someone else will. I would highly recommend coming to have a look at it before bidding, I have been as honest as possible. Collection from Corwen, North Wales, local delivery can be arranged. Winning bidder must get in touch within 24 hours and it is to be picked up
