In contrast to the Willys Jeep, the Land Rover is not a military vehicle but a purely civilian child. After the Second World War, British farmers and exporters wanted a workhorse that could go anywhere and do anything—a universal Land Rover, developed and produced by the established British manufacturer Rover. With its unbeatable concept and unique charisma, the off-road vehicle became a million-seller for decades and the foundation of the Land Rover brand.
The Landy on offer here is an early example of Series IIa from 1961, with the headlights still mounted next to the radiator grille. The suffix LR 88 refers to the short wheelbase of 88 inches. The Landy is equipped for many tasks and conveniently has a trailer coupling at the rear and a cable winch at the front, which can be used to get out of critical situations off-road or to pull a tree out of the undergrowth. Not much is known about the vehicle's history, except that it spent much of its life on a farm in sunny Spain with a German license plate and was completely restored a few years ago. The current owner loves his Landy more than anything but faces a significant dilemma. It's not just the classic reason for lack of space in the garage holding him back; worse still, two important family members don't want to share the love for this beautiful classic. It's not just the wife who keeps resisting the choice of vehicle for the summer outing; the much-loved family dog also seems to have a real Landy aversion and doesn't want to come along for the ride. With great inner protest and an anticipatory sense of loss, the owner now offers the Land Rover LR88 for sale to save the family’s peace.
The Land Rover is in good condition both inside and out. It is a left-hand drive vehicle delivered in Europe in the classic color ‘Pastel Light Green Solid.’ As a two-door pickup, it can be driven either completely open, with a tarpaulin roof, or with a hardtop bolted on. A narrow third seat is fitted between the driver's and passenger's seats so three people can have fun in the front. Behind this is a loading area with lengthways shelves, which can also be used as additional seats. The vehicle was completely restored a few years ago and, since then, has only been driven by enthusiasts on short journeys in good weather. The paintwork is in good condition and shows no damage or rust apart from slight traces and a barely visible small area of additional paint on the front wheel cut-out. As part of the restoration, the seats were reupholstered, and the storage compartments and loading area were relined. Everything is in excellent condition for a Land Rover. The tarpaulin roof is as good as new.
The Land Rover shown here has a Mercedes diesel of the /8 series. As standard Rover engines often cause problems, this is a popular and sought-after conversion due to lower repair and maintenance costs and fuel consumption. The engine runs quietly and economically. Engaging four-wheel drive and off-road reduction provide the Land Rover with the necessary traction. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, and the reduction can be employed if required. During the restoration, the entire technology was also overhauled. The box frame is also in good condition and not rotten like many other examples.
All operating and equipment elements work, including steering, brakes, electrics, and lighting. A new general inspection is due in spring 2025, but it will be renewed if the vehicle is sold. A corresponding classic car certificate, a prerequisite for H registration, is available. The vehicle is visually and technically in good condition and is immediately ready to drive.
The vehicle is being offered on behalf of a customer.
