Frame-Off complete restoration / overhaul of a LAND ROVER 88 Series 2 to the highest standard.

The Series 2 was built from April 1958 to summer 1971, divided into Series 2 from 1958-1961 and Series 2a from 1961-1971 as the successor to Series 1.

In many details, the Series 2 was improved. A 2.25 ltr. engine replaced the 2.0 ltr., steering guidance was improved, differentials were reinforced, and the body was slightly enlarged, providing more space for the somewhat larger driver and passenger.

This Series 2 was built as a left-hand drive in 1959 and was driven in Belgium from 1998 to 2022. There, the LAND ROVER was acquired and restored "Frame-Off" with great effort and expert knowledge. The technology such as engine, gearbox, and differential were thoroughly overhauled. The body was separated from the frame, elaborately repaired, and newly painted with the existing original doors. The fits of the bodywork, as well as the closing of the doors, are perfect. The windshield frame, the hood frame, and the bumper were newly galvanised. For safety reasons, the frame was replaced with a new correct Series 2 frame, galvanised, and painted black with special paint. Original refurbished windshield wiper motors and a Smith footwell heater were installed. The seat cushions are new in correct "Elephant-Hide" vinyl material.

The result is a LAND ROVER 88 Series 2 in perfect condition, restored without compromise. Extremely rare and hardly to be found on the market. In a beautiful and correct colour with new upholstery, hood, and sensible useful upgrades for drivability and reliability such as electronic ignition and a modern fuel pump. The quality of the paintwork is excellent. A classic from the picture book. For the enthusiast, the car collector, and of course for the explorer to drive themselves.
