*In current family ownership since 1962
*Exceptionally low mileage
*Great potential on offer

This Land Rover Series II offers the rare opportunity of purchasing a family owned vehicle of 59 years . Officially unveiled in 1958, the Land Rover Series II was the first land Rover to be officially 'styled' by a design team headed by David Bache. This included adding a more rounded design, adding features that are recognisable even on a modern day Defender. The Series II also offered mechanical improvements over its predecessor, such as wider axels and a new 2286 four-cylinder petrol engine. This example, purchased by the vendors father in 1962, has been used sparingly through its life and has covered only 21,658 miles. The vehicle is in good condition, however will require further attention. The exterior body is solid but has acquired various dings and scratches over its lifetime, including a large dent on the front wing. The interior is also of a typical working Land Rover condition and could require further attention if desired. The roof of the car also has a large rip on the left hand side. Considering its one owner history the car comes with an excellent history file, but will require further attention mechanically. There is certainly great potential on offer here.
