This car has been very well cared for and it shows. This is a great collectible classic that is surely to appreciate in value over the next several years!!!

Click to enlarge Exterior: This Land Rover looks fantastic in its classic light green paint job with contrasting matching wheels and freshly regalvanzied trim. The paint job on this truck was completed to an incredibly high standard and looks excellent. The car was completely disassembled. hood. trunk. doors. glass. trim etc. was all removed and painted separately. Even the bottom side of the body car was stripped down and repainted as well. This was a full body off rotisserie restoration where even the bottom side of the floor pans were painted exterior color. This truck truly has an immaculate body and paint finish. The body is LASER straight and looks beautiful and has all of the proper riveted aluminum bodywork. The paint has a very "deep" look and has a great shine since it was a Base coat/Clear coat paint job. When the car was painted. it was done properly. All of the rubber seals were replaced after the car was painted and are all in great condition. Many many many man hours were spend getting the doors and panels perfectly aligned and working with amazing precision. The paint job on this car alone exceeds the cost of many classic Land Rovers. This is a car that you could bring to a local car show and show it with pride. or you could go on great weekend drives in. Overall the exterior is in excellent shape. Click to enlarge Interior: The classic Black interior of this Rover is like new and in excellent condition. The front and rear seats are like new and in excellent shape. They are free of stains. rips and tears. When the seats were reupholstered all of the foam was replaced as well. The carpet is like new and in excellent shape. The dash is in perfect condition and is free of cracks etc. In-fact all of the dash pieces have been replaced and are brand new. Every courtesy light. every gauge etc. are all in great working order. If you take a look at the seats you will see that they have been slightly modified with slightly larger bolstering to help hold you in the seats while cornering while still preserving the the classic look of the Rover interior. There is a Ipod hookup in the center console and there is a great sounding stereo installed complete with subwoofers. This really is the ultimate Series IIa. Overall the interior of this car is beautiful and is a great place to waste the weekend away. Click to enlarge Engine: The 350 hp V8 fires right up and runs like a top. This engine has been completely rebuilt and detailed to a showroom like finish. The engine runs beautifully. It always starts and runs excellent just like a modern car. This engine has had lots of money poured into it and the car and the car runs GREAT!!! The engine is estimated in excess of 350hp which is plenty powerful for a truck of this size. The engine bay was sandblasted and refinished to a high standard. The cars transmission was rebuilt at the same time and shifts beautifully. The transmission has been built to handle the extra power of the engine as well. The transmission shifts perfectly and is very responsive and smooth. This car features power 4 wheel wheel disc brakes which stops the car very well. Best of all there is no side to side pull while under braking since the car doesn't have drum brakes. The car also feature a dual circuit master cylinder to aid in safety as well. The power steering really makes this Rover easy to drive and much more comfortable to drive daily. The engine sounds great with its exhaust exiting under the rear valance. The car runs nice and cool even in Arizona's hot and dry climate and features an aluminum radiator. The car steers beautifully with its power steering and the car tracks perfectly down the road. The suspension has been completely gone through as well. All rebuilt and all new components. The bottom side of this truck is as well finished as the top side. I can not stress enough at how every inch of this car has been gone through and virtually every component rebuilt or replaced. This car has been appraised at $165. 00!!!!! This truck really is a blast to drive!!! Click to enlarge Classic Land Rovers are getting more and more desireable and collectable.
