1968 | Land Rover 88

German first delivery Frame-Off complete restoration / repair of a LAND ROVER 88 Series 2 at the highest level

The Series 2 was built from 1958 to 1961, the successor Series 2a, like this example, from October 1961 to summer 1971. The Series 2a was improved in many details. A 2.25-liter engine replaced the 2.0-liter, the steering was improved, differentials were reinforced, freewheel clutches were available as an option, as was a brake booster as an option. All this is installed in this Series 2a.

This Series 2a was built as a left-hand drive vehicle in 1968, delivered to Rover Germany and registered as an official vehicle in February 1969. A copy of the vehicle registration document certifies that it was registered to private individuals in Germany from 1989 until September 1995, when it was deregistered.

In the last 2 years, it was acquired as a restoration object and restored “frame-off” with great effort and the best specialist knowledge; the technology such as the engine, gearbox and differential were completely overhauled. The exterior and interior of the bodywork was not simply “painted over”, but dismantled, extensively repaired and repainted. The fit of the bodywork and the closing of the doors are perfect. The windscreen frame, the hood bow and the bumper were re-galvanized.

The result is a LAND ROVER 88 Series 2a in perfect condition, restored without compromise. Extremely rare and almost impossible to find on the market.

In a beautiful and correct color with new upholstery, soft top and useful upgrades for colorability and reliability

• Electronic ignition retrofitted - fuel pump retrofitted

The quality of the paintwork is outstanding. A classic from the picture book. For the enthusiast, the car collector and of course for the explorer to drive himself.
