1963 Series 2A SWB Utility
Offered For Sale – 1963 Land Rover Series IIA – £8750 (no ‘offers’). Hi Landy buffs, I am offering ‘Lucy’ my Series 2A for sale to another enthusiast/masochist wishing to take her through her retirement years. Lucy is a Petrol SWB 4 x 4 Utility, first registered November 1963 (in Bexley). Reg plate ASL 493. I have owned her for 9 years and bought Lucy as a retirement project but health issues now prevent me carrying out any more work on her and so it’s time to pass on this 62 year old vintage lady to a new enthusiast. Lucy is registered Historic Vehicle with DVLA and therefore Tax and MoT exempt in the UK, London ULEZ exempt and very inexpensive to insure. Overseas Buyer? – Lucy deserves to travel more so I am happy to export her (at the purchaser’s cost) and will facilitate this if she sells to an overseas enthusiast. Description – My description with photographs shows the work carried out, condition and presentation, but in summary I would describe Lucy as a mostly original, standard spec, fully serviced and ready to go. She is not ‘concours’ but smart enough to sit on your drive, not one for “rivet counters”. N.B. minor snagging jobs to fully finish Lucy – drivers door adjustments, rear view mirrors required, windscreen washer (pump and bottle fitted, requires pipes and jets fitting) and perhaps a heater! Please view the pictures as these form a large part of the description and cover most points of interest to ‘Landy’ buyers. Chassis: stamped 24111515B – original, solid with some repairs by previous owners. I replaced the petrol tank and outriggers and the chassis has been cleaned and internal rustproofing applied. Two towing/lifting eyes are fitted on front bumper. All the chassis/suspension/transmission grease points have been greased and new grease nipples fitted where needed. Bulkhead: – removed and renovated on a jig, so corrosion issues sorted and should be good for many years. Internal voids sprayed with rust protection. Nb – bulkhead ‘A’ pillars and door tops now have access holes incorporated for easy future rust proofing treatment in these areas that are commonly subject to corrosion (blanked off with grommets as seen in pics). Engine: 15264313F – original 2.3 petrol engine with under 50k miles and runs well. Many gaskets replaced. New carburettor, lift pump, hoses fitted; oil pump removed cleaned and inspected when the sump was removed. Overall, the engine is smooth and good for many more miles. Transmission: Gearbox is standard non-synchro 1st and 2nd, and synchromesh 3rd and 4th gears, with many new seals and gaskets fitted. The low ratio and 4-wheel drive functions are working as required. Axles, gearbox, transfer box all had oil changed. Clutch: New master and slave cylinder and lines fitted. AVM freewheeling hubs fitted and these have been stripped and serviced. Axles – both are original based on serial numbers, and both have had oil seals and gaskets replaced and new front swivel seals fitted. Front and rear diffs are good and prop shaft diff seals replaced. Road Springs: Good condition and new U bolts fitted all round. Shock absorbers: Good condition. Brakes: All metal brake lines have been replaced and new brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders/shoes fitted. Steering: Steering box stripped and reassembled with new worm-shaft, bearings and gaskets. The banjo type steering wheel has been refurbished. All the steering joints have been checked and new rubber gaiters fitted. Wheels; These are the original 272309 pattern 5.5/16 inch rivetted steel wheels, with good condition off-road tyres. Spare is located on the bulkhead. Wheels grit blasted zinc primed and powder coated Limestone and refitted with a new wheel nuts. Body: The wings and tub have the usual battle scar dents you find on ally panels, but look smart enough now newly painted. All the doors dismantled, frames repaired and new door skins fitted prior to repainting. New weather-seals all round. Seat box and radiator panel in good condition with no corrosion. The seats are new (standard type). Seat runners have been stripped and rebuilt and function as required. The passenger under-seat storage box has been replaced and a new tool tray box fitted beneath centre seat space (no centre seat fitted). Front floor panels replaced. Bonnet dismantled, renovated and repainted. Utility Hard Top has new sliding side windows fitted and new rear quarter window rubber seals. Electrics: Autosparks loom fitted. New dynamo and Control Box fitted. The (original) ignition key (with 2 spares) also operates the door locks. Lights – 7” sealed beam with refurbished bowls. Sidelights, indicators and brake lights are all new Lucas pattern. Additional: The following equipment included. Starting handle; Shelley LJ215 jack; wheel brace; Grease gun and box of replacement grease nipples; Grease cartridges and gearbox oil; Car cover; Document file of the registration/tax documents showing the history/previous ownership; Workshop manual (tatty) and file of manual printouts. If you are still reading this you may be interested in purchasing Lucy! I can be contacted (by text only please) to arrange viewing (in Leigh on Sea, Essex) on 07375 709561 ATTENTION PLEASE! Please do NOT contact me with questions that are covered in the description, or OFFERS – if listed she is available, and the description should determine if Lucy is worth your time to view. Check the respected website www.Hagerty.com for their valuation of this model/year – I believe my asking price is realistic and very fair. I have included a screen print current Hagerty valuation. Because of insurance issues I cannot allow customer ‘test drives’. I will happily drive potential purchasers to show that she functions as she should, or if required, allow a professional fully indemnified (RAC/AA) vehicle inspection (at the purchaser’s expense).

My Land Rover is for sale at the auction BRIGHTWELLS, near Ludlow. I started restoring, but due to illness had to stop. Mechanically very sound, my cousin took it for a drive every month for 4 years for me. Drives very nice , and pretty fast , keeps up with lorries and not overtaken by many cars! History Home Office (dark green) Then moved to the Fire Brigade ( red ). When I bought it got quite a lot of MOTs from it’s past life I believe it’s 46,000 miles done is accurate. Restoration, is your choice I was intending to go to Home Office. Yes the doors need repair. The upholstery is original 10 seat Shark Skin . Could be nice with just a good clean.

Rare Series II Land Rover – Fantastic Restoration Project!
For Sale – 249 XVW – a rare early Series II Land Rover, 88 Inch Chassis. When the Series II was launched in April 1958, Land Rover did not have enough of the new 2.25 petrol engines, so continued to make use of the 2.0 litre engines and gearboxes from the previous Series I generation. They only made 1,702 Home Market 88″ RHD vehicles, of which this is one. They are seen as the Holy Grail of Series II’s for collectors, and are rightly sought after and more valuable than the later ones. This Series II, chassis number 141801304, was built in August 1958 and was registered on 1st October 1958 in Hertfordshire. It has the correct 2 litre petrol engine, Mileage 55536. There are lots of correct early features including dash warning lights, early front valence, wiper motors and early tailgate. Overall, it is a lovely, genuine and original early example that hasn’t been messed around with. I have the original Buff log book which is fascinating and shows it had never strayed far from its roots until it was bought by a dealer who sold it to me in 2022. Before that it had been in long term ownership and luckily had been dry stored. The engine ran in 2022 when I bought it, and sounded nice. The chassis is particularly good, the bulkhead is solid and it had new footwells many years ago. It selects all the gears and the brakes have been worked on relatively recently. It could be got back on the road without too much trouble. I purchased it as a project, but have only had time to strip the doors and dashboard. The instruments have been refurbished. Selling reluctantly due to a house move. This will be a very worthwhile restoration of a rare Land Rover. Available to view near Salisbury. Transport can be arranged throughout the UK, please ask for a quote.

Series 2a
Landy which is 90% restored, fully roadworthy and would make a simple project to finish. The vehicle stood in a yard for many years in the open at the initial end of its service life. The owner always intended to rebuild it. He subcontracted the chassis replacement and engine change and has worked on the interior and exterior himself. Sadly he passed away recently but the car is a gem and deserves the final touches being completed in the hands of an enthusiast. Selling by the widow. Price ONO 07879893890 01252871468
