1963 LAND ROVER 88

Service History

First registered in 1963 and registered correctly as a historic vehicle this Land Rover Series 2A 88" is a wonderfully honest and characterful example that retains the originality and charm so often lost through over-restoration. Fundamentally unrestored, it benefits from its original chassis which remains in very good condition, providing an excellent foundation for continued use and future preservation.

Rather than being restored beyond recognition, this Series 2A wears its years with pride, displaying the genuine patina and character that enthusiasts value so highly. It is a Land Rover that tells its story through its appearance, whilst remaining highly usable and mechanically well sorted.

Recent mechanical improvements have focused on reliability and usability, including the fitment of a refurbished unleaded-converted cylinder head and a new carburettor, ensuring the vehicle is ready for regular enjoyment on modern roads. Practicality has also been enhanced with the installation of 12-volt power points within the cabin.

Further investment has seen the fitment of a brand-new canvas hood and frame set, together with new front seats supplied by Exmoor Trim, significantly improving comfort and presentation whilst remaining sympathetic to the vehicle's original character. Later-style wing mirrors have also been fitted, providing improved rearward visibility and making the vehicle more user-friendly in modern traffic conditions.

This is a superb opportunity to acquire a genuine, usable Series 2A that has not been over-restored or modified beyond recognition. Equally suited to being enjoyed exactly as it stands or gradually improved over future ownership, it offers the perfect blend of originality, usability and authentic Land Rover character.

A charming and increasingly desirable classic that is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
