1966 Land Rover 2-Series
1966 LAND ROVER SERIES IIA CLASSIC 4X4 CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE
I bought this as my “Dream Truck”, I watched a lot of African safari movies growing up. I envisioned, setting up my tent, hearing the lions and hyenas. But alas age and too many vehicular projects have caught up with me. I have to let it pass on to the next visionary, to put it back together and drive it over the vastness of Africa without me at the wheel, with my H&H double rifle at my side. OR, pulling up at Starbucks with the top off in Beverly Hills and people wondering if I was a rich and famous movie star just getting back from an African safari.
I don’t have a lot of info on it, this is the first Land Rover I have ever owned. I bought it here in Arizona from a rancher who said he had “clutch problems” he pulled it apart and never put it back together. I bought it the way you see it now. It appears to have spent most of it’s life in Arizona judging by the stickers on the back. The good thing about these are most parts body parts are aluminum and they completely unbolt. It also has the Safari Top or you can pull off the entire top for a convertible. Parts are very available and Land Rover Nerds have clubs where they swap parts, or sell at a very reasonable price and free info. The Land Rover groups had a rear end for $200 and seatsfor $60. It has been sitting for about 8 years. The serial or vin# is 24419226B for research and the odometer reads 07962. The title says 0100001, obviously a misprint because the odometer doesn’t have enough spaces for that number.
So you have to make your own determinations on what you are buying and it’s condition from the photos and the You Tube video.I do not know the gear ratio or if it has any Posi. I turned the engine over when I first got it to make sure it wasn’t froze up. It still has the 16 inch rims which is unique to see still on one.It’s a 4 cylinder, with manual transmission. Not pictured was the gas tank in the parts photos but it comes with the truck. You can see the major parts and then there are two containers of smaller parts. I also have the missing top glass still in a package and the other side glass. The tire on the hood was just for showing that the spare goes up there but the spare (example spare) does not come included with the truck.

Since I don’t know much about Land Rovers I include here what Wiki says about them.
Theseries IIAis considered by many the most hardy series model constructed. It is quite possibly also the type of classic Land Rover that features strongly in the general public's perception of the Land Rover, from its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such asBorn Free. In February 1968, just a few months after theRover Companyhad been subsumed, under government pressure, into theLeyland Motor Corporation, the Land Rover celebrated its twentieth birthday, with total production to date just short of 600,000, of which more than 70% had been exported.[4]Certainly it was whilst the series IIA was in production that sales of utility Land Rovers reached their peak, in 1969–70, when sales of over 60,000 Land Rovers a year were recorded. (For comparison, the sales of the Defender have been around the 25,000 level since the 1990s.) As well as record sales, the Land Rover dominated many world markets- in Australia in the 1960s Land Rover held 90% of the 4×4 market. This figure was repeated in many countries in Africa and the Middle East. Other options that have since become desirable for collectors include soft tops and the Safari roof (an addition roof panel mounted over the roof of the hardtop wagon, to help insulate it from the sun).
