Land Rover Series 2 88" Hard Top 1959 Model
Only 17,000 Miles from New
Nut & Bolt Restoration
We are delighted to offer this lovely example of a Series 2. Which is a 1959 model.
The vehicle has been rebuilt to original specification and a vast majority of original parts were reused and new old stock parts where sourced where required. The restoration includes a new galvanised chassis.
The vehicle is in by far one of the most classic colour combination bronze green with contrasting limestone roof. The vehicle also has the desirable cat flap and so can be converted to a soft for the summer months. Without the need to change the tailgate.
The bulkhead was refurbished with new pressed footwells and pillars. New galvanised Richards chassis. Gearbox fully refurbished. Engine rebuilt block and head have been chemically cleaned and pressure tested. New valves and seats so the vehicle can now run on unleaded.
Exmoor Trim elephant hide seats in the front and rear matching bench seats can be fitted should the buyer wish, however we wanted to show just how straight and tidy the rear body is which you would expect for a vehicle that has covered such a low mileage. A new autosparks wiring loom, new swivels, suspension, steering rods, track rod ends, steering box rebuilt and a new steering relay.
Brakes completely overhauled, axles fully rebuilt. Original Serck radiator has been restored with a new core. New lights fitted all round. There is so much more to list. The original 1959 engine has lots of early original parts fitted including the original carburettor, swan neck manifold, early thermostat housing.
The vehicle is in immaculate condition and drives very well. The vehicle has always been dry stored and has travelled very few dry miles since the restoration was completed.
The bodywork on this example is immaculate and all the panels are straight with no dents or scraps. It has been professionally painted in our own on site bodyshop. The cappings and windscreen have been removed and re galvanised all the correct rivets have been used during the restoration showing the attention to detail.
All windows open, all the window channels are good since the vehicle has had a fully restoration and everything is new.
The load area is exceptionally clean and doesn't show any sights of heavy use and is presented with a rubber mat.
The vehicle has one of the best engine bays we have seen on a Series 2, extremely clean. The head has been refurbished and now benefits from harden valves and so you no longer need to worry about putting in lead additive. The block has also been refurbished and repainted in the correct light grey.
The engine busts into life at the turn of the key. It is apparent that this is a vehicle that has been maintained and covered low mileage it runs as quiet and smooth as any Series Land Rover that we have ever had.
A joy to drive and such fun, the vehicle will have a full 12-month MOT from the day of sale. Four wheel drive and low range engage, as they should. The gears change up and down as they should it has a very quiet gearbox which is a good sign of it's light use over the years. This vehicle will be supplied fully serviced including engine, filter, main gearbox, transfer box, overdrive, diffs and swivels.
The steering is as it should be and the vehicle doesn't wonder on the road like some series vehicles do. All the tyres have been replaced and are in very good condition.
The vehicle is as clean underneath as on top any inspection is welcome. The restoration is documented with lots of pictures detailing the work carried out, please ask for a copy.
SUMMARY
On offer is an unmolested and well-restored Series 2 Softop in immaculate restored condition. All the numbers match - the chassis numbers on the plates are the same as on the log book registration document.
This Land Rover has obviously been cared for and cherished by its previous owners and thousands of pounds were spent on it during it's restoration. The rebuild took approximately 1000 plus hours. There are documented photographs also which support the rebuild through all stages and an extensive history file.
A comprehensive list of all the works carried out to the vehicle can be shown to any interested party.
It is very solid example and is ready to use and enjoy.
This is a fantastic example of a 63-year-old Series Land Rover. You will have to go a long way to find a better vehicle.
Anything on this Land Rover that required attention has been done it is now faultless.
