1959 Series II Land Rover
Location: Bozeman, MT
New Price $9750
“Pinky” (not sure where the name originated but it dates back at least three owners) has spent most, if not all of its life in the dry air of Montana. It is a mostly stock and mostly original Series II that is fully functional and drivable. The truck is road ready yet has had <700 miles in the last 7 years. Total mileage is unknown as the odometer didn’t work when I purchased it (new one has been installed). It has been garaged for the last year except for short trips around town. I reluctantly have to sell it due to having kids and it no longer being practical to keep a two seater around as the spare car.
Of note: the truck was registered as a 1960 when I purchased it, and it remains that way. However, based on the chassis serial number (144902517) I believe it to be a 1959. (http://www.lrfaq.org/FAQ.3.Chassis_Numbers.html)
Recent work completed in May 2017
Full clutch rebuild with new pressure plate, clutch disc and master cylinder
New brake master cylinder
Replaced engine with a used but retuned and repainted 2.25 L Petrol engine (Entire old engine available for parts, including '59 Series II head assembly)
Michelin all-terrain tires and 16” rims with <500 miles use
Recent replacement of front seats and center cubby.
Front driver and passenger inertia shoulder belts.
Overdrive
Many spare parts available with the truck (double barrel carb, rear door, set of five 15" rims, etc)
Clean title and current registration
