Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare Searle-converted 1965 Land Rover Series IIa Station Wagon, with a desirable 2286cc petrol engine. It's been enthusiast-owned for 15 years but needs recommissioning after dry storage, presenting an opportunity for light restoration.
Condition
5
The car is described as being in need of some sympathetic recommissioning, having not been used on the road since around 2019. It has been running, driving, and starting while on site for photos and a video. There are some worthwhile upgrades and replacements, including a new starter motor and water pump, a Rocky Mountain spin-on oil filter conversion, an alloy fuel tank, and a stainless-steel exhaust. Please beware that the inside part of the Searle Conversion fold down seats into a bed and table are missing. The chassis appears to be basically sound, although this cannot be fully verified in the absence of a ramp.

One of the defining features of the Searle conversion is the absence of the large rear bulkhead behind the front seats, allowing both the front and rear seating to fold flat and create two compact sleeping berths, a wonderfully period and practical touch that sets these vehicles apart from standard Station Wagons.
The vehicle has spent most of its life in dry storage during the present ownership, though the rec...
