    Something special or just an old car?

    Hi,
    I am not sure where the correct section would be to post this, so apologies if I'm in the wrong section?


    I am a brand new member who joined because I have found an old Land Rover on a property I have recently purchased and was wondering if it has any value to enthusiasts?
    It is in pretty rough condition, but from looking at the plate it is a '88 Series IIA with Serial #8813450.


    I can post more photos and there are other numbers on the plate as well if that would help?


    Any advise greatly appreciated

    Welcome to the forum.

    It looks like a 2a shorty in need of a lot of love and TLC. If the chassis is not rusted out completely, there's no reason you couldn't get it back on the road if you were so inclined.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    It is a reasonably common Series 2a Land Rover. However it may be special to someone If you don't want it try selling it in the Markets You may have some luck.

    looks alright. Stick a battery and some fresh fuel in it and it will probably fire up.

    Nice find. If it weren't a Landy it would most likely just be an old car. But not only is it something special, its a beautiful object in its own right. ...ok if you really want to you could restore it and get it going. ...but whatever you do, don't polish it!
