1965 Land Rover Series IIA

Built to handle everything from the deserts of Africa to the farmlands of England, the Land Rover Series II was an iconic, rough-and-tumble four-wheeler produced from 1958 through 1971. So iconic, in fact, the design was licensed by local producers around the world to serve specific market needs. Santana Motor S.A. of Spain was one of the largest, building Series Rovers for the Central and South America markets.

This 1965 Land Rover 88 Series IIA was produced under license by Santana, and reportedly spent three decades on a farm in Colombia before being purchased by the seller in 2020. The seller states that the truck was subsequently overhauled by Talleres Spanish in Bogotá before being imported to the United States. This Rover is powered by a gasoline 2.25L inline-four, mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Other equipment includes a single Solex carburetor said to have been overhauled and cream-colored steel wheels wearing off-road tires.

During the refresh in Colombia, aluminum panels and the bulkhead are said to have been replaced and the truck was repainted green accented by a replacement tan canvas soft top. Inside, the three-across front bench seating and rear inward-facing jump seats have been reupholstered in brown leather with embroidered Land Rover detailing.
