1961 Land Rover Series 2A SWB 2.25 Petrol - Much Loved Family-Owned Classic
Reluctantly offered for sale due to an overseas move, this 1962 Land Rover Series 2A Short Wheelbase petrol has been in our family for approximately 25 years and has been carefully maintained throughout that time.
In 2020, the vehicle underwent a major overhaul, including:
New chassis
Engine auxiliaries renewed
Disc brake conversion
New front seats
Numerous additional mechanical and maintenance improvements
A significant amount has been invested over the years to keep this Land Rover in excellent running order.
The vehicle is garage stored and only used occasionally for leisure drives, helping to preserve its condition. It starts, runs, and drives well, and remains a charming and usable classic.
As a historic vehicle, it is MOT exempt and road tax exempt.
The canvas hood is serviceable but well worn, and prospective buyers may wish to replace it in the future.
The Land Rover is believed to have had an interesting past, having reportedly served as an airport safety vehicle during its early life. It was once painted red, a reminder of its presumed working history, and adds a unique talking point to this characterful Series 2A.
This is an honest, well-cared-for Series 2A with long family ownership and plenty of character. A great opportunity to acquire a classic Land Rover that has benefited from substantial investment and sympathetic upkeep.
