I think this is the second time he has listed this. I would seriously doubt he knows much about this vehicle, let alone restored it.
This also could be creative marketing. Ebay frowns upon keyword spamming so this might be his way for the search engines to return hits when someone searches either Series, Defender or Jeep.
And what the hEll is in the bed to make it squat so low?
At least it has BIG tires!Tim R.

I think that is exactly what it is. An attempt to get more people to see the ebay ad but using likely alternative key words. I do this kind of thing as well and add an intentional common misspelling or two just to get the folks who can not spell. He has Land Rover, Series IIA, Defender & Jeep.-

Marketing / advertising ploy maybe.... big backfire though. Would you even look at a Rover that has been 'restored' by someone making such glaring errors.
Good point Teriann but actually calling it a Jeep and a Defender makes me not even consider wasting my time pursuing his truck.
I might consider buying the big tires though....-Cosmo-

C'mon, give him a break. I would think that the problem comes from not having a good command of the English language, more than him being an idiot, or something.
He may be using the other words as ways to manipulate users' search queries, but I think it is more the fact that his name is Pablo, and he lives in south Texas.
I am not defending him from not knowing jack about LR's (or should I say I am not "Jeeping him from not knowing...")."I can't believe I'm sitting here, completely surrounded by no beer!" -OnslowComment

Or it be that he calls it a jeep because lots of people around the world call small 2 door short wheel based 4x4's jeeps......First but gone: 91 3 door Disco "White Rhino"

and all SUVs regardless of make and model are called "Pajaro". when talking about short wheelbased 4x4 trucks i like honoring the manufacturers by using "heeps", "yodas" and "d'oh-vrs"'64 Series IIA 88 Canvas Tilt

IMHO, I think that anyone that would classify a Rover of any kind, no matter if it does for some odd reason it does have jeep parts on it, as a jeep, there is no sense looking. A true rover person would never do that and would quickly correct the error. Of course that's just me. But like others have said, it is probibly a marketing ploy. Personally, it looks too plastic for my taste and there are no dents/dings, and not enough oil under or around it. It does have the classic rover lean to the driver's side.Kristi

Hello I’m selling my Defender which is a Series 2A 1965 I personally restored most of this jeep the engine runs perfectly but the clutch is stuck , maybe it is something that can be done by someone else, tires are great and big, this land rover it is a head turnover
Judging by the responses posted here, as stated, this truck is a real head turnover.....1964 Series 2A SW, LHD mostly stock, often runs!

I had 2 guys call my 109 a nice jeep... so now I have these huge green land rover stickers on the side... I hope this minimizes confusion so their lack of ignorance is taken down a few notches.Comment
