Footnotes

Officially unveiled in 1958, the Land Rover Series II was the first Land Rover to be officially styled by a design team headed by David Bache. The Series II was effectively a facelift of the Series I, but the styling was much more sophisticated and modern. Bache and his team added many features that are recognisable today on a modern Defender, such as its rounded roof and "barrel side" bodylines. This 1968 example is a long wheelbase Series IIA crew cab that has a mileage of approximately 102,000 miles. It also features an upgraded 200 Tdi engine which is reported to be running and driving well. A new chassis has also been swapped in from a newer model. Externally, the bodywork is in good condition however the light green paint could be brought up to a higher standard if desired. Inside the bucket seats are also in good condition. A unique and usable example.
