1964 Land Rover 88 Series IIA
1964 Land Rover Series 2a PetrolRare and beautiful example of the quintessential Land Rover.According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust it was built on 5 December 1962 and delivered to Rover North America, San Francisco on 7 January 1963. It is titled as a 1964.Frame off restoration.The steel on this Rover is impeccable and unmolested! It spent it's first 54 years out west and was in Yuma Arizona when purchased for restoration. The bulkhead, breakfast (radiator mount), door frames and chassis frame are absolutely SOLID. Frame was pressure washed, etched and coated with POR-15, it has no patches or weld repairs. Bulkhead and breakfast were sandblasted and painted, also NO patches or weld repairs! Exceptionally rare to find a Series 2a in this condition!Dates on the engine block, radiator and windshield wiper motors all indicate 1962 builds.Almost all body fasteners are stainless steel, where bolts are touching galvanized steel-galvanized steel fasteners were used. Structural bolts were either reused or replaced with grade 8 where necessary. This Rover runs like a sewing machine and drives....like a Series Rover.Improvements include:Replaced single line brake system with dual line vacuum assisted brake system (safety upgrade)New clutch master cylinder that doesn't take fluid from brake system (safety upgrade)Shoulder harness retractable seatbelts (safety upgrade)Dual sliding door windows from Rocky Mountain ProductsNew rear window tracks with aluminum tracks and rubber seals from Rocky Mountain ProductsWheels are powder coated and lug nuts are stainless steel from Wrington Engineering in UKSpin on oil filterLater metric headRoverDrive Overdrive – now called Global RoamerParabolic springs from Rocky Mountain ProductsAluminum fuel tankElectric fuel pump as back up or for priming engineCoolant reservoirFolding steps for side doorsFly screens for ventsDoor panels with built in pocketsFitted floor matsBeautifully finished leather covered steering wheelInstrument incandescent light bulbs replaced with brighter LED bulbsLocking front hubsOf course anything rubber was replaced, door seals, brake hoses, coolant hoses, fuel lines... No funky title issues, clean Ohio title in my name.I encourage anyone interested to call, text or better yet come and personally inspect it.Cell phone: 330-327-7069Appraised by AAG in September 2018 at $65,000. Only driven 1260 miles since restoration completed, there's not even a rock chip in the paint yet.High bid over $45,000 takes it home. I've seen a lot of Rovers in this price range that aren't even close to the quality of this restoration. No history, no documentation, not true Rovers, painted over fasteners, painted galvanized trim, no upgrades, pitiful descriptions. Please consider all of these things, a Rover like this doesn't come available very often.I will accept a $1000 deposit through PayPal within 48 hours of close of auction.Balance due in 7 days through PayPal or wire transfer to my account.Included are my rover accessories to include owner manual, service manual (tabbed and in a binder)...Maintenance log in a leather 7 ring binder...Car Show Binder showing before and after shots of Rover...Custom car cover...Head rebuilding organizer...Framed Rover Ad's and Pictures...Union Jack Flag...Spare and Original parts.
