1962 Land Rover Series IIA!! Extremely rare to find a Series truck in this condition! Absolutely stunning, beautifully restored, rust-free and mechanically in excellent condition! Finished in rare and original BRITISH GREEN Over Black vinyl and equipped with the extremely desirable removable Hard Top option! very Rare Double Roof for extra cooling and brand new aggressive off-road tires. Vehicle has gone through Full Frame off restoration about 5 years ago, restored to the original factory specifications, Engine and Trany were pulled and fully overhauled at the same time, never been Offroaded.
The Series IIA is widely regarded as the most enduring Series model constructed, both in terms of its offroad, adventure and ruggedness and the perception the public has of the Land Rover marque in general.
The IIA retains its original tried, true and battle tested (in some cases literally) 2 ¼ Litre Petrol 4 cylinder engine, which was fully sorted when the car was restored.
The 4-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through each of the gears and is assisted by a fully functional low and high range 4X4 unit. The engine sounds like the first day, idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly. Compression is excellent and ride quality is everything you’d expect of a fully sorted Series IIA.
Aesthetically the truck is truly outstanding. An extremely high quality paint job in the original Land Rover GREEN color, the finish is lustrous and consistent. The interior is impeccable, the dash is clean and straight forward with working gauges and switches. The Black Vinyl interior is in excellent shape, no wear / tear.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic, beautiful, rust-free original Land Rover Series IIA!

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"
Mon, 03 Dec 2012The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
