Oh, is it ever your lucky day!! I bought this Series 2A about a month ago in the United Kingdom, went out and bought it with a couple of other trucks I am importing (UMM Alter 2 turbo diesel and a Toyota Landcruiser LJ70 ) back here to myself now. I drove the truck for a few days and it runs and drives very nice! It is a Civilian Station Wagon and it moves along very fast, and gets about 30MPG doing it too! Newer 2.5tdi engine has been fitted and using its existing gearbox with overdrive, it is plenty fast enough to keep up with modern traffic, has a lot of power for towing, cruises at freeway speeds and gets great mileage. Since I have had it I had the rear chassis cross memeber/ bumper professionally replaced, bought brand new Bearmach parabolic springs for it (not fitted yet) , bought a soft top and truck cab for it (You will have the most versatile truck in the world! Hard-top, soft-top and truck cab all included) -
Truck starts on the button and runs/ drives/ stops as it should.
Biggest problem with the truck is some rust at the top of the bulkhead on the Drivers side near where the top door hinge bolts on. A relatively easy fix for the welder, and these panels are available here from Rovers North. Floors are solid, and frame is now solid and ready to go for another 40 years. Asking $12,000 OBO...zombiemotors@earthlink.net.
