My 1965 Series 2a 88" Land Rover

This is a documentation video of my first Land Rover shortly after I finished the restoration back in 1996. If you are the current owner of this Rover please contact me as I would like to know what happened to it.
I sold this Land Rover in 1998 because I decided that it was just too nice and I was afraid of damaging it off road. After selling it I purchased a very rough 1966 Ex British Army Field Ambulance and converted it into an overland camper.

Congratulations on an absolutely fabulous Land-Rover. I have a '68 Series 2A 88" and a '73 Series 3 109" pick-up. I love these trucks. I have yet to find someplace they won't go. Your's is one of the nicest I've seen.

EXCELLANT rebuild, a really, really fine Landy, one of the better 2a's I've seen -- But TOO NICE to take off-roading? Fer Crissakes, you put a ROLLBAR innit! What's it for but to use? You coulda bought a cheap Landcruiser to trash-n-thrash on weekends if ya just couldn't BEAR the idea of denting and scratching your car, or if it was a daily driver. I agree, MUCH too nice to abuse, but you'll probably never find one again as nice, & certainly not at the price or cost. SOME cars are KEEPERS.
