GOT ANY STUMPS THAT NEED PULLING?? SORRY, THIS IS ACTUALLY A 1984, BUT EBAY WILL NOT LET ME LIST IT WITHOUT A VIN UNLESS IT IS A PRE 1979 IMPORTED FROM THE UK, THIS LAND ROVER IS AFFECTIONATELY NAMED "JIM", COURTESY OF WILD KINGDOM. JIM IS A RHD 1984 SERIES IIA WITH A 2.5 LITER DIESEL ENGINE, 4 SPEED. HE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL FULL SAFARI ROOF AND SEATS FOR THE CARGO AREA THAT FOLD UP OUT OF THE WAY IF YOU NEED THE CARGO ROOM. JIM HAS A LOW GEAR THAT PULLS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN!! THERE IS ALSO A LIGHT BAR AND LIGHTS IN THE BACK, NOT PRESENTLY MOUNTED. VERY STRAIGHT BODY, ENGINE RUNS GOOD AND STRONG, SOME OIL SMOKE ON START UP, BUT GETS BETTER AS HE WARMS UP. JUST SERVICED, JIM ALSO HAS THE HIGH WATER INTAKE SO SHALLOW STREAMS CAN BE FORDED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND WITHOUT ISSUE, NO GEAR NOISE, TRUCK RUNS SMOOTHLY, CLUTCH IS VERY STRONG. JIM'S ONLY REGRET IS THE PAINT- BY- BRUSH FINISH, NOT EXACTLY SHOW QUALITY, BUT JIM IS READY TO BE USED AS A LAND ROVER SHOULD BE. PULL STUMPS OR TAKE INTO THE WONDERFUL WILD KINGDOM!! FRAME APPEARS SOLID, SOME SURFACE RUST AND SOME RUST THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, AND BOTTOM OF BOTH FRONT FENDERS. EVERYTHING WORKS, 4X4 WITH LOW AND HIGH AND LOCK-OUT. GREAT VEHICLE, THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE, YOU'LL HAVE THE ONLY ONE FOR 500 MILES. LOOK AROUND, YOU WON'T FIND ONE THIS CHEAP ANYWHERE--BIN IS ONLY $7495!!

On May-30-11 at 11:07:33 PDT, seller added the following information: HERE IS SOME NEW INFO, DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD ANYONE, BUT ANOTHER BIDDER SAYS THE AIR INTAKE WE HAD PREVIUOSLY IDENTIFIED AS A HIGH WATER INTAKE IS ACTUALLY THE INTAKE FOR THE HEATER, NOT THE ENGINE. OK, AFTER LOOKING AT IT MORE CLOSELY, I BELIEVE HE IS CORRECT, WE'LL GO WITH THAT. On May-30-11 at 12:08:45 PDT, seller added the following information: WELL, IT SEEMS THERE IS SOME QUESTION ABOUT EXACTLY WHICH MODEL THIS VEHICLE IS. I HAVE NOW BEEN CORRECTED AND EDUCATED, AND NOW AFTER MORE RESEARCH, I STILL AM MORE UNSURE. IT IS LISTED ON THE IMPORT DOCUMENTATION AS 88" LIGHTWEIGHT, FIRST REGISTERED IN SEPTEMBER, 1984, AND NOT AS A SERIES 2A. NOW IT GETS HARD. WE HAVE A LETTER FROM LAND ROVER DATED AUGUST 17TH 2006 IN THE FOLDER OF DOCUMENTS WHICH STATES THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT ON 22 FEB, 1974. THE ENGINE IS A 2286 CC DIESEL , SERIAL 36615651. HOPE THIS HELPS, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MIX-UP. SEEMS THE SHIPPER DID NOT KNOW THIS, EITHER, THAT WAS WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THE SERIES 2A. IN ANY CASE, ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE DESCRIPTION ARE ACCURATE, AND WE WILL GIVE THE NEW OWNER A CLEAR SC TITLE TO A 1984 LAND ROVER. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
