1971 Land Rover Series 2A LWB Safari 88,000 (Not Warranted) ££7,000 + buyers premium

Description:

Description from The Vendor:

I have owned this Land Rover for the past 11 years. It was acquired by myself when 1 purchased a number of old workshops which had housed this vehicle and several other vehicles. Anecdotally, I was informed that this vehicle had been stored and unused in the workshop since 1991.

‘The Beast’, as it is known locally, is an example of an honest working Land Rover and it has remained garaged since I acquired it and during my ownership the following repairs/parts have been undertaken:

  • New fuel tank
  • New stainless steel exhaust system
  • Replacement brake shoes, cylinders and hose lines
  • New brake servo system
  • New brake and clutch cylinders
  • New slave cylinder
  • New fuel pump
  • Electronic ignition
  • New high torque starter motor
  • New radiator
  • New water pump
  • New headlights/reflectors
  • New kingpins, track rod ends and bushes
  • New tyres and tubes circa 3k miles ago
  • Welding to parts of the original chassis
  • New battery 28.02.2022

The vehicle is being sold due to my advancing years and my inability to manipulate the heavy clutch due to a serious injury to my left leg.

The vehicle could do with an alternator to replace the original dynamo, some tidying up of the voids beneath the seats and a bit of tic to the front nearside wheel-arch.

If any future owner would like to contact me, I have a number of Land Rover parts (including the original roof rack) which they might like to acquire from me.

 

Auctioneer’s notes:

This is a very desirable long-wheel-based Safari.  The vendor who has owned her for a number of years has composed a comprehensive list of parts that have been renewed and he also suggested one or two improvements such as swopping the dynamo for an alternator etc.  So, there is not a lot that I can add, except to say  “use as is and improve as time goes by” It May be viewed, strictly by appointment.
