A sympathetic update of the Series I, the Series II was introduced in April 1958. Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel engines, it accounted for some 62,000 sales by 1960. In 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and is thought to have been the most successful for sales. Land Rovers were utilised by both the RAF and army as ambulances, with approximately 3000 109 Field Ambulances manufactured.
Manufactured in 1967, this Series IIA, registartion number ’03 ET 31’, was dispatched to the Central Vehicle Depot Irvine on 19th February that year. Fitted with the 2.25-litre straight-four petrol engine and four-speed manual transmission, it remained in service until 1998 before being sold through MVSL Disposals. The Land Rover is understood to have remained in storage from then until 2012, when purchased by the vendor. ‘NEG 269E’ was then sympathetically restored comprising of a brake overhaul, clutch and wheel cylinders, ignition system, exhaust renovation and bodywork repairs. This Series IIA was extensively improved cosmetically whilst retaining the patina from its service life. Many new parts were fitted to complete the restoration. Offered with a history file which includes a BMIHT certificate, vehicle service history report, collection of invoices, several past MoT certificates and the current V5C.
