Wind Back Time
1971 Land Rover Series 2A
Specifications
Description
The original Land Rover was one of the longest-running production cars the world has ever seen.
More than two million were produced and many are still being used on roads and farms all over the world today.
The Land Rover's design is so simple that it does not feel in any way dated and remains fun to drive.
ABOUT THIS LANDY
- This Series IIA's in pristine, rust-free condition. Its a meticulously restored treasure - would easily qualify as one of the tidiest examples in NZ.
- Think 4×4, and you automatically think Land Rover. There is no denying that the Ser 2A Land Rover is one of the most recognisable UK-built cars out there, which is quite an achievement for a model that never had style or appearance in mind.
- The interior is undeniably simplistic, featuring just a few dials and switches.
- The non-power-assisted steering is not cumbersome at all and the rough ride provided by the leaf-sprung suspension setup makes for a very characterful, and therefore amusing, ride.
- Being a Series 2A, we get slightly curved hips running down either side of the bodywork, used to make the doors thicker and conceal the handles, but we still have the headlamps mounted on top of the narrow front grille.
- Its go-anywhere nature makes the Series 2A a truly versatile classic, and its ability to be hosed down makes it one which you shouldn’t be scared of using regardless of the weather or the season.
- We love Land Rovers and so driven by passion, we're always on the hunt for the best of them - We should note that this is a MINT Example that can almost be described in LIKE NEW condition.
- This is a STUNNING restoration - would be hard to find a better one.
The best of British has been with us for 70+ years now, and with the launch of Land Rover’s new Defender – there has been an upsurge in interest for all models of the traditional Land Rover line.
Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of a classic Land Rover should realise that they are now incredibly collectable in any condition, with a usable Series 2A example typically costing NZD24K. Furthermore, in the UK, one should expect to spend circa GBP50K to buy a fine example like this one.
Will be sold WOF'd and Registered IF sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
