Footnotes

• Some ten years after the original's introduction it was felt that the time had come to update the Land Rover's somewhat primitive slab-sided styling. The result was the Series II, which featured the more rounded sides that would characterise the Land Rover from then onwards. Introduced in 1958, the Series II was available with either the 2,286cc petrol engine or the newly developed 2,052cc diesel first seen in 1956 on what became known retrospectively as the 'Series I'. By this time the original permanent four-wheel drive freewheel transmission had been superseded by the more conventional selectable two- or four-wheel drive arrangement, with a set of low ratios available if required with the latter selected. For the Series IIA, the diesel engine was enlarged to 2,286cc and a new 12-seater model introduced on the longer (109") wheelbase chassis.
  
  This Series IIA has the 2¼-litre petrol engine and has been a recovery truck from new. Fully restored over a number of years with no expense spared, as evidenced by the photographic record on file, it was completed late last year and is presented in superb condition. Noteworthy features include a fully galvanised chassis, Harvey Frost 3cwt pickup crane, freewheel front hubs, and matching Goodyear 7.50x16" tyres on standard steel rims. Described by the private vendor as exceptionally strong and driving very well, the vehicle is offered with MoT to May 2018 and a V5C registration document.
