This beautifully aged, superbly reliable Land Rover Series II 109 Safari has been driven over to us from Amsterdam. Demonstrating its strength and reliability, the Land Rover arrived back in the UK towing a trailer with another Series II 109 Land Rover on board, that Landy coming from an Olive farm in Tuscany. The journey over to us was effortless, the vehicle performing perfectly over to the ferry terminal at Rotterdam and up and over the Yorkshire Wolds on its route from Hull docks to North Yorkshire.
In 1966 this Safari was exported from Southampton and was used on the European continent until 1973/1974 when it returned to the UK and was re-registered POT 936M. The Land Rover changed hands on several occasions before being exported to the Netherlands where its been for the last twenty years. Once registered in Holland, the car was subject of a two year nut and bolt restoration that was completed in 2002. The Land Rover was fitted with a new galvanised chassis, some new panels and was fully re-painted in Dove Grey with a White roof and fitted with a custom built expedition roof rack. The wheels were sandblasted and painted in the correct shade of white and new tyres were fitted. In total 24000 Euros were spent on the Land Rover and a comprehensive file of invoices accompanies the car. Jansen Range Rover Parts in the Netherlands supplied many new parts including engine main bearings and conrod bearings for its engine rebuild. The interior features wonderful, expensive Oxblood coloured leather seating, original sunvisors a roof lining with the Safari tropical roof vents. An upgraded heating system has been installed adding comfort to this impressive ten seater Land Rover. Other features of this fantastic example include a two-level tow bar, uprated cooling fan and Fairey Overdrive allowing for more relaxed cruising on longer distance journeys.
Since restoration, the Land Rover has covered 55000 miles which clearly demonstrates the ultra-reliability of this example. Maintenance has been carried out with no expense spared and prior to leaving Amsterdam a new carburettor, fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel lines were fitted. The engine holds good oil pressure, the gearbox and overdrive are a delight to use with good synchromesh. This is clearly very capable of regular use including longer distance touring. It is a strong robust and usable Land Rover with a very comfortable parabolic spring setup .
