Now an opportunity to be the cornerstone of any classic car collection is an investment opportunity of a Land Rover utility vehicle only increasing in value.
Production of the Land Rover began in 1948 and saw a long-lived successful production through until the end of January 2017. The Defender ran 67 years over many different body shapes and each release stood as a milestone to the automotive market. Land Rover built their success on highly durable and almost indestructible designs and gained eventual Australian military use across their models.
The Land Rover Series II saw production from the 60’s and later showcased a new release as the ‘Series 2A’ that until this day is referred to as one of the hardiest models ever constructed. The release featured headlights that were fitted in the fenders, a more powerful engine and saw that ‘key start’ was now a standard feature across the models. Exclusively available in Australia was the Series 2A utility with a limited manufacture of only 109, being all sold to the South Australian Department of Health.
