Full Restoration with new galvanised chassis and bulkhead. Great History and mileage. Bronze Green with new Exmoor canvas hood. • The Series IIA revised version of the Land Rover made its debut in 1961 and is regarded by many Land Rover aficionados as the version that Rover got right, being generally thought of as the most durable and easily repairable of the Series Land Rovers. • The original buff logbook shows Lady Olive Lawson-Johnston as the first owner. She was the granddaughter of the founder of Bovril and lived on the island of Eilean Shona in Loch Moidart where the Land Rover was used to carry feedstuff for her animals and other provisions to her boat.
