Land Rover Series 2A 4WD Drive Station Wagon For Sale If you've ever watched a movie set in the woods or in the desert (Born Free for example), it probably starred a Land Rover Series vehicle. Since then this rugged vehicle as become an object of desire around the world. The Series 2A is considered by Landy purists to the "best of the range" because of its stronger gear box (4-speed, non-synchro 1 st ). The headlights remain recessed as with the original, and this is a trademark of the true classic Series vehicles. The 2.25-litre (gasoline, NOT diesel) engine compression is just 7:1, making it very tolerant of regular grade gasoline. The Series 2A features the trademark simple metal dashboard, which was replaced in the Series 3 with a modern plastic dash that also detracts from the true classic feel. To maximize their longevity and durability, these Land Rovers were made from aluminum, a practice just introduced by Ford in 2016 for its F-150 Pickup Truck. However, the LR frame remained steel, and this was a potential problem over time as the "tin worm", what the Brits call rust, attacked the frame. Many have been replaced, but this example is all original and shows no signs of repair ever, either on the frame or body panels (amazing!). The drivetrain on this example is in excellent condition with a purring engine that turns over with a twist of the key and a 4 speed transmission that functions perfectly (up and down shifts smoothly). The 4-wheel drive system works properly. This vehicle only shows around 35k miles, which is supported by its fabulous unrestored condition inside and out. The vehicle drives as new with none of the quirks one might expect from a 51-year old truck. The cosmetics of this LR have intentionally been left as original as possible, with some touch up paint in the original factory color applied to its original body panels. Every last detail of the car has been gone through and made fully functional. Electrics, the supposed bugaboo of British cars, have been gone through completely and are fully operational. New mirrors, lenses, mats, hoses, seat belts, etc. have all been meticulously detailed, including the engine compartment and undercarriage. It was like restoring an old masters painting. The net result is a Series 2A Land Rover that looks and drives beautifully and has been preserved in its highly original condition. Because of the originality of this car, being unrestored, it actually qualifies as a "survivor" and survivor cars are bringing far more than restored examples on the collector car market. ("It's only original once," is the wisdom.) For Sale by Owner and Located in Mattituck, NYTake a Look at the HD Video: https://youtu.be/IIYDME78xIc
