Description
The successor to the successful Series I was the Series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961.
It came in 88" (2,200mm) and 109" (2,800mm) wheelbases.
This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover’s styling department, their chief stylist David Bache produced the familiar ‘barrel side’ waistline to cover the vehicle’s wider track and the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers.
The Series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25 litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase models retained the 52hp (39k
W) 2.0 litre petrol engine from the Series I.
This larger petrol engine produced 72hp (54k
W) and was closely related to the 2.0 litre diesel unit still in use.
This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980s when diesel engines became more popular.
First registered on 24th August 1961 and delivered new to Jame...
