Further Info:

'The Land Rover was originally built in February 1964 and I have a Heritage Trust letter to confirm that. This being a Series IIA 109 inch 2250cc petrol, chassis 25407332-B. It was built as a left-hand drive military, however, it was not road registered until December 1972. The mystery is that everything about it appears to be right-hand drive Series III. The Series III was not introduced until 1971. I have been informed that a number of early Series IIIs were factory conversions from Series IIAs. It has had eight keepers since being road registered and I understand it was used on a country estate for some time. Neither the last keeper or myself have used the vehicle apart from driving it to the MOT test station. The current indicated mileage is 49,423, however, I have no idea if that is genuine. I purchased the vehicle in November 2009 and have spent six years restoring it from the chassis up. The chassis has been stripped and repainted. Heavy duty front and rear springs have been fitted together with new rear axle restraint straps. The brakes have been overhauled and a new servo fitted. The engine has had a new timing chain, piston rings, valves, valve springs and big end bearings. It has electronic ignition. The back axle oil seal has been replaced as has the transfer box oil seal. A new heavy duty battery has been fitted. The bulkhead is in good order with no apparent rust. The interior has been restored and repainted with new rear seats. There is a sink in the rear area. The front wings have been replaced. The wheels have been renewed and wear excellent tyres. There are two spare wheels, one on the rear and one on the inside. It has a reinforced adjustable tow hitch (ex Defender), rear steps and chrome folding steps. It passed its MOT test on 30th May with no advisories'.
