Land Rover Series 2a station wagon

  

Here we have my much cherished Ex-Post Office Radio Service Series 2a, which I have owned for the past 17 years. The colour scheme that she is presented in, along with the text and serial numbers are all correct to her service days at Radio Station Leafield in Oxfordshire. To all appearances she is as she was in service, which includes the PTO-driven, factory installed Mayflower winch on the front bumper. There are however a few permissible modifications.

The road springs are parabolic, giving a better ride and better cornering. The door tops are ex-military, which, personally I prefer to the originals. Heated windows are installed front and rear (but not wired in). An alternator has been installed along with conversion to negative earth. Steering wheel has been changed for a 15 Mountney, so the indicator stalk is from a SIII.

An electrical issue was resolved with the replacement of the fuse box. Wiper motor replaced with New old stock.

Front flexi brake hoses replaced. O/S/F track rod end dust cover replaced. Full service, including greasing ball joints and replacing spark plugs and oil filter. Your Land Rover was one of a batch of sixty with Post Office serials (fleet numbers) 203304 to 203363, yours being 203356. It became 69 621 3356 in the 1971 renumbering (year type code serial), then becoming 69 367 3356 in 1982 when Land Rovers were given type codes designating model and fuel. It was new in Brilliant Yellow inside and out (ref BS356 in the old BS381C colour range) and galvanised bumpers, with lettering in Light Bronze Green on vinyl patches. Vehicles of this period normally carried POST OFFICE TELEPHONES. However yours was unusual in being new to the External Telecomms Executive at Leafield Radio Station, and would have had a non-standard inscription, possibly. Or something similar, possibly including the ETE title. After withdrawal from normal service it was retained at Oxford Telephone Motor Transport Workshop as a garage runabout. So, thank you for looking at my listing, and if nothing else, hope you found it informative. Advertised elsewhere, so may be withdrawn without notification.
