For Sale 1971 Landrover

For Sale 1971 Series 2A Tax Exempt SWB Landrover Petrol in Blue with
Truck Cab

Recent rear half chassis,new petrol tank,new track rods,and track ends,
Usual Landrover comfort and refinement for a 30 year old vehicle
Drives and run's well even with noisey tappets.

Good road going tyres,garage stored last 3 years.

Mot expired end of March 2006
£550
07779435180
Worcester.

So let's see:-

No MOT - mmm - so many thing to put right - dont risk testing it

Noisy Tappets - could be knackered engine

Rear half chassis - rest of it looks like like a tribe of termites moved in.

Only good thing seems to be tyres.

I think I will give this one a miss.

Bit harsh - for £550 you have to be realistic about what you are going
to be able to buy. It's almost certainly a can of worms - any £550
motor will be but if it's a runner it's possibly a very good project
for someone with the time and the skills.

Bit harsh, eh?!

A replacement 2 1/4 petrol in good running order is worth somewhere
about fifty quid, the front of most 11a is normally preserved by the
automatic total loss lubrication system, it's had a little care and
attention shown judging by the new steering parts and fuel tank, has
road legal tyres, but best of all is the fact it's a 71 - looks IMO so
much nicer than the S3 with its metal grille, and it will save you
170quid+ per year compared to a later S3. Five hundred quid sounds
like a fair enough price, even if it does need work done for the MOT.
Pictures would of course help provide a better idea of what kind of
series shed we are talking about though....

I agree having just sold my tax exempt 2a/3/defender ( a proper bitsa) for
£1800 on ebay it sounds king cheap, mine did have galv chassis pairabolloxs
and a td engine however but saying that padocks are doing 88" galv chassis
for under £700 these days.
