1960 Land Rover Series II SWB Petrol

The Land Rover Series II is one of the most recognisable and influential utility vehicles ever built. Introduced in 1958, it refined the groundbreaking concept established by the original Series I and helped cement Land Rover's reputation as the world's go-anywhere vehicle. From remote farms and construction sites to military service and international expeditions, the Series II became a symbol of durability, practicality and adventure.

This 1960 Land Rover Series II is a desirable Short Wheelbase (88-inch) example, a configuration particularly favoured by enthusiasts for its compact proportions and classic appearance. The vehicle was restored some years ago and continues to present very well today, benefiting from good paintwork and an overall condition that reflects careful ownership and maintenance since restoration.

Power comes from a Land Rover petrol engine that appears to be period-correct for the vehicle. While we cannot confirm that it is the factory-installed engine, the engine number is consistent with the era and complements the vehicle's authentic character.

Mechanically, the Land Rover is in good condition and remains highly usable. It delivers exactly the sort of straightforward, engaging driving experience that has endeared Series models to generations of enthusiasts. Whether attending classic car shows, vintage vehicle rallies, country events or simply enjoying weekend drives, this is a vehicle that attracts attention wherever it goes.

The Series II introduced the now-famous curved waistline designed by Rover stylist David Bache, giving it a more modern appearance than its predecessor while retaining the rugged aluminium body construction and proven four-wheel-drive system. Many enthusiasts regard the Series II as the purest expression of the classic Land Rover concept.

As interest in early Land Rovers continues to grow internationally, well-presented and mechanically sound examples have become increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This vehicle represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a charming and usable example of one of Britain's most important automotive icons.
