Seller's comments about 1968' Land Rover Series 2A
1967 Series 2A 2. 25 litre petrol
First registered 16/ 02/ 1968

Era classics are delighted to be selling this lovely 2A that I have sold previously and am now offering for sale again on behalf of its current owner.
This super Series 2A was subject to a full professional nut and bolt restoration by my restorer which was completed in February 2022 and has been maintained and enjoyed ever since. Current mileage is 46, 864 and has done around 2, 000 miles since its completed restoration. It is now ready to be loved and enjoyed for many more years to come.
LVJ 707F was built for the UK home market 05/ 12/ 1967 and supplied to W. Holloway & Sons, Worcester. First sold to Philip Davies & Son (Farmers) in Dormington, Hereford on 16th Feb 1968 and registered as a farm vehicle all its life until it was retired in 1989 (as proven by the last tax disc still in the window).
Following a purchase by a chap who planned a restoration, it then remained unrestored in a barn until being purchased in 2020 when the detailed full professional restoration began.
A Heritage certificate is supplied confirming its detail as a Land rover basic utility, supplied in Bronze green.
Believed to be a genuine mileage vehicle as the dismantling process showed amazing evidence of original fixings, wiring, along with a solid bulkhead and chassis that had avoided rust, even the original bulkhead A posts and door hinge fixing plates remain. All oil removed from the drive train was clear confirming its good life.
A full nut and bolt restoration was completed in February 2022 including the following key items:
Original chassis stripped and new rear cross member & outriggers were invisibly welded into place. The chassis retains its original dumb irons and chassis stamp. At the time the chassis was examined carefully and was perfect in all other areas and emptied of dust & debris then fully internally wax-oiled. Finished outside in epoxy primer and two pack satin black paint.
Bulkhead required new footwells and mounting feet only. Again fully repaired invisibly, stone chip added to the footwells and painted in 2 pack epoxy. Cavities fully wax-oiled.
Rear tub had a new floor, new wing and rear panels so is as good as new. New doors and new outer wings were fitted.
All treated with 3 coats of epoxy 2k primer and 3 coats 2k gloss Deep Bronze Green (its original colour)
The running gear was fully overhauled with new brakes, lines, master cylinders, clutch etc. New springs and Girling shocks make the ride perfect.
Engine fully restored needing a rebore to +30” but original crank and camshaft needed only new bearings. New seals throughout. The carburettor fully overhauled. Original deep radiator re-cored and brazed repairs as required.
New exhaust
Steering wheel covered in smart leather cover with green stitching.
A new Auto-sparks loom installed. Clever period indicator stalk including Hazzard warning lights. New period lights all round.
Although the vehicle was never supplied with a heater, a new Clayton unit with period correct Smiths cover was also installed.
All cappings were acid dipped and re-galvanised. Correct dome rivets used and they stand proud unpainted as they should be.
A new classic interior fitted along with rear bench seats and a new high quality sand Canvas hood supplied by Undercover Covers. Period correct mud flaps at the rear are also a nice quality touch.
The 5 tyres are excellent Michelin XZL on deep dish steel wheels sand blasted and repainted in gloss Limestone.
In preparation for sale we have just completed a full health check and service including fresh engine, axles, gearbox and transfer box oils, all valves/ tappits adjusted, carb rebuild and a full underbody clean and Lanoguard treatment.
A comprehensive file of bills and photographic history book of the restoration is included.
