1965 Land Rover 88 Series 2A Series IIA Classic Iconic Right Hand Drive

Description

1965 Land Rover 88 Series 2A, Series IIA
This is an original RHD import from England, 88" wheelbase, and is unmodified from it's factory specs. It has the original 2.25 Liter petrol powerplant. It is running and driving with new brake system and master cylinder and also a new clutch master cylinder. The bulkhead/firewall is in great shape for a British import with minimal rust, nothing major. The bulkheads on these old Rovers are the rust prone areas, as they are steel sheetmetal where the rest of the body is aluminum. Frame looks good, some rust, but nothing major. Vehicle came out from California, and has been in the dry Nevada desert. All in all, this is an excellent Rover for someone to restore- it runs and drives, but don't consider it roadworthy at this point- it needs to be sorted out and restored, really. This is a 51 year old truck, so don't expect a new vehicle. With some time and effort it can be something fantastic and you will be driving something that is not the average econobox import crap! It is as found- all I have done is get it running and the brakes and clutch hydraulic work. Rear differential needs some work and is noisy. It has the rare hardtop with solid sides, which make an excellent billboard for your business advertisement. These Series 2a, Series II Rovers are the iconic Land Rovers from right out of Africa on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, and all the old movies. It even has the provision for handcranking the motor from the front. Can you see yourself pulling up to your local Starbucks in this, getting your coffee and then going out to hand crank your 51 year old iconic Land Rover? These Rovers are poised to make a huge increase in value and are currently undervalued for their history and their coolness factor. Super simple easy to work on, and parts are easily available from domestic sources, or from Britain. The Series 2a is THE ICONIC CLASSIC Land Rover- this is the best year and made before they started getting all the plastic junk on them- has the inboard headlights for the classic look. They will only go up in value from here. Clear Nevada title in hand. Vehicle is in Minden, NV.
