1967 Land Rover Series 2a Original Additional Info:
I am technically the third care taker of this fine Landy which is such a pleasure to drive. Yes, it starts, drives, and stops all lights and gauges work as new. Yes, it leaks a little oil as seen on floor under photos. The old Rover moto is "if its not leaking its out of oil". Sold brand new in 1967 in Las Cruces, NM so there is no penetrating rust ever and nothing even close. Second owner only purchased the Land Rover because of all the documentation that was present at the time (not a Land Rover guy). He was in the right place at the right time so to speak. He was buying a 1976 Dodge Ram SWB with 67k original miles from the widowed spouse who also had the Land Rover. It did run and drive at the time but it had bad wheel cylinders so it did not stop. He did not turn a wrench or even wash the Land Rover. He just resold the Land Rover a couple months later to me back on August 10, 2017. I still have photos of his listing. Rubber seals on top windows are 53 years old and are cracked and very dry. Seal between body and top is no longer present. Windshield wiper motors have been professionally rebuilt to factory spec.
I am the first person to remove the hard top. Original paint, All numbers matching. Original engine and gear box (not rebuilt no smoke) 99 percent of parts replaced are NOS Genuine Land Rover, no low quality imitations. I found original NOS Genuine Land Rover Date stamped tail light lenses which have different date stamps for top and bottom lenses(didn't need replacing just a little faded). 4 NOS Genuine Land Rover brake drums and NOS Genuine Land Rover brake shoes, NOS turn signal unit, NOS Solex carb, NOS fuel pump, NOS Genuine Land Rover fuel lines, NOS Genuine Land Rover oil presure line, NOS front drive line, NOS Genuine Land Rover muffler and tail pipe, NOS Genuine Land Rover floor mats. NOS Land Rover mud flaps. NOS Genuine Land Rover shocks. One Original Lucus used headlight with matching numbers. NOS Genuine Land Rover wipers and wiper arms. Professionally restored elephant hide seats with 100% Factory-Original, period correct Elephant hide "grey leathercloth" (vinyl). This is Not to be confused with the imitation material or imitation quality. Covers were placed on the original factory metal seat backs which still wear the factory yellow chalk marks from the assembly line. Original heater duct hoses are still flexible and 100% intact.
Not Original to the Rover is the addition of Land Rover 16" steel wheels painted in Limestone. This Rover came stock with 15" wheels. Brand new set of Michelin 7.50 x 16 XZL tires. Interstate battery, new custom battery cables. Original owner kept extremely well documented notes since new. Which includes mileage, gas used, parts replaced or cleaned. All with a cost at the time. All receipts for parts, etc.. The list goes on and on. Even correspondence to Land Rover directly in England with questions he had regarding his rover.
I have a NOS Genuine Land Rover(soft top) hoop and stick set in the original snow flake galvanizing with dark green canvas with all brass fittings available for extra consideration as well. Clear title in hand. Vehicle prepurchase inspection can be performed at Dare Britannia, LTD in Olympia, WA for verification of originality, mechanical, and cleanliness.
