1969 LAND ROVER

Service History

A true icon of British motoring, this 1969 Land Rover Series IIA SWB Diesel 2.25 is a superb example of a usable and increasingly collectible classic 4x4, now benefitting from extensive recent mechanical and chassis upgrades. Finished in classic green with a black vinyl interior, black banded steel wheels and a brand new canvas top, it presents exactly as a Series Land Rover should—purposeful, capable and full of character.

Under the bonnet sits the dependable 2.25 litre diesel engine, renowned for its longevity and simplicity. It delivers strong low-end torque and a steady, usable driving experience, perfectly suited to country lanes, shows or light off-road use. The gearbox operates as it should, offering that raw and engaging feel that defines the Series Land Rover driving experience.

Importantly, this example has been significantly enhanced where it matters most. It benefits from a new chassis, giving a solid foundation for years to come, along with upgraded parabolic springs which improve ride quality and usability without compromising originality. New bushes and shock absorbers have been fitted, alongside a full brake refresh, ensuring the vehicle drives and stops with confidence.

Externally, the aluminium bodywork presents well with an honest patina that reflects its age while still maintaining strong visual appeal. The classic green finish is complemented by banded steel wheels, professionally powder coated in black, and wrapped in aggressive Comforser CF3000 tyres, including a bonnet mounted spare wheel which completes the purposeful look and enhances its off-road capability. The new canvas top adds both practicality and a clean, traditional finish.

Inside, the cabin remains true to its utilitarian roots, trimmed in black vinyl with the familiar metal dashboard and simple controls. It is a functional and nostalgic environment that perfectly suits the vehicle’s character.

This is not an over-restored show piece, but a properly sorted and highly usable classic that blends originality with sensible upgrades. Whether you are looking for a classic to enjoy on the road, take to events or use as intended, this Series IIA represents an excellent opportunity.

Supplied by Classicwise, this vehicle will receive a full health check, service and a fresh 12 months MOT prior to handover, ensuring it is ready to be enjoyed from day one.
