The 1963 Land Rover Series IIA was a versatile and rugged off-road vehicle produced from 1961 to 1971. It was available in a variety of body styles including a two-door pick-up truck, a three door station wagon, and a two door utility vehicle. It was powered by a 2.25 litre four-cylinder engine that produced 72 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. The 1963 Land Rover Series IIA had a number of updates over its predecessor, including improved seating and larger windows. It also had a new gearbox, a revised dashboard, and a more powerful engine. It was known for its excellent off-road capabilities, thanks to its sturdy construction, high ground clearance, and four-wheel drive system. It was commonly used by farmers, military organisations, and adventurers alike.

The example we have here is something of a 'hot rod' Land Rover. Under the bonnet you will find a three-litre Ford Essex V6 engine, offering much more power than the original, it sounds great too thanks to the stainless steel exhaust. A galvanised chassis has also been fitted, along with a replacement bulkhead, so it can handle the increased power too. Uprated shock absorbers and parabolic springs have been fitted, which vastly improve the ride quality and road holding. The body has been resprayed to a good standard in Grasmere green, which looks superb and a set of larger wheels and tyres have been fitted, which really complete the look. Inside, we have three Exmoor trimmed front seats and side facing rear seats with seatbelts in the rear. The rear tailgate now hinges from the side, making it easier to climb in and out of. Other cosmetic additions include a sunshade above the windscreen and LED lights. The Land Rover was given a thorough service, for which the invoice of £2,805 is in the file. This included the replacement of the carburettor, starter motor and fuel pump, various other small jobs and an MoT test carried out, which is valid until September 2025. Also included in the history file, are various other service and maintenance invoices, MoT test certificates and a V5C registration document. Offered without reserve, this is a very attractive way into Land Rover ownership. Consigned by Fraser Smith
