Land rover series 2a 1970 tax exempt, galvanised chassis, overdrive

  
You are looking at a late model Series 2a. In the two years my Dad has owned'Lizzie the Landie' he has had the following work carried out. Brand new canvas tilt (so new it hasn't shrunk to fit yet so it looks a bit baggy). New seat belt bar behind the seats to mount the seatbelts with a canvas tilt. New front wheel cylinders left and right. Before my Dad took ownership the following work had been completed. New driver side door top. Repairs to the bulkhead to make it solid. As you can see from the pictures she has a fair bit of patina and has been used and loved.

I suspect a replacement ex military engine has been fitted due to the colour although I have no paperwork to back this up. She starts on the button and drives really well. The springs look pretty recent (I imagine done when the chassis was done) and the are no where near as jarring as my own 2a.

The engine pulls really well and all the work recently done on the brakes means she pulls up well. The overdrive engages smoothly and doesn't howl or grumble which is quite something. The additional lamps are not to my taste but they are excellent and considerably better than the'candles' my 2a has. Overall when I drove her I was really taken by how well she went.

The only negative is that she does come out of second gear occasionally. Surely this must be the holy grail of landies. Looks used and loved but mechanically sorted and with a solid chassis.

This could be a lovely winter project with loads of scope to improve or use and enjoy as is. I'm not interested in canvassing.
