Re: RE: SER1 OT: Remanufactured Landys

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/09/15]

The best Land Rovers ever made were the late series 2a suffix d gearbox
models with the headlamps in the mudguards (wings/fenders, some people
called them Series II b)  before British Leyland when they lost their
morals.

But there is something quaint and special about the cross eyed models!

I believe Rover's North here in America will do a complete rebuild to
expedition spec but an uninformed guess is that you'd be paying close to
Defender prices by the time you are done.

There are a number of companies based in the UK who refurbish S2 and S3
landrovers but as far as I am aware they are rebuilt to more or less
original spec although I guess a purchaser could specify their own
overall build spec.  I do know that some companies rebuild with 2.5
litre engines as standard.

Just thinking out loud, but is anyone remanufacturing complete Series
IIA/III's?  I was thinking expedition-ready, with new frames,
alternators,
wiring and lights, faster axles, disc brakes, etc. but still
field-maintainable (no electronics in mission-critical functions).

I was thinking something that could be purchased by companies and
institutions that wouldn't look twice at a used or 'restored' Landy.

Thanks.
