1959 Land Rover Series II available. $2700 Runs and moves on its own. Engine fires up and smoothes out fine every time. Trans shifts and 4wd works great. Body beat up from offrroading but is all aluminium so no rust there. Frame is solid. Typical bulkhead damage from offroading but in repairable shape. Will really have to see and hear to make a good decision, but where else are you going to come across a running example of a Series II that is mostly complete and ready to be your winter project? Not interested in trades at this time. Looking to clear out space in my back lot before the snow hits.
SO, I am tempted by this. I know absolutely nothing about Land Rovers other than what I have read here at Expedition Portal. I do remember seeing them at Cameron Highlands when I lived in Malaysia. The plan for this, if I go forward, would be to just make it run reliably and make it street legal, then paint a "CH" on the doors. I would drive it around and see how many people understand the reference.
I am not sure on the price, it seems a little high? but then again, I don't know, maybe the older trucks cost that much regardless of condition.
So very tempted.
