SERIES II/SERIES IIA

88” AND 109”, 1958 to 1971 THE launch of the Series II in 1958 saw the arrival of the classic Land Rover shape that endured through to the 2016 Defender. Values of SIIS are rising – early Mot-exempt models especially. Some have been retro-fitted with Tdi engines, which help them keep up with modern traffic. A SII should be a good ride. If it isn’t, check the leaf springs aren’t badly rusted and seized – and consider replacing with more forgiving parabolics.

BUYER'S TIP: Affordable classic that holds its value.
