Turn the key and go with this automatic Series 2a 109 Land Rover - perfect for the country, beach, or the city. An incredibly interesting, well-sorted, and well-executed build that is a blend of classic and neo-classic Rover. What you see when you view this Rover is a Defender Series 2A 109 Wagon, what you drive is a Range Rover Classic LWB. A great deal of care and engineering went into building the vehicle. The body is a 1964 Series 2A Station Wagon.
The 109 started as a rust-free well preserved, left-hand drive example and was defamed and completely restored before being mated to the chassis of a later Range Rover Classic. Modern upgrades include a ZF 4spd automatic gearbox, LT 230 transfer case with permanent AWD, and 4-wheel disc brakes among other additions. Power comes from a refurbished and freshened 4.2 liter Rover V8 engine from a donor Range Rover. Interior is all new with replacement seats, headliner, carpets, steering wheel, dash, and door cards. Instrumentation is original 109 adding to the character of driving a classic vehicle that is not so classic.
All bodywork from the firewall forward was custom-tailored to fit around the longer 4.2-liter V8 powerplant and Range Rover Running Gear. Additional custom sheet metal includes a "safari roof" that is designed for generous airflow into the passenger cabin without allowing the elements inside. The Sorting of any custom Rover after a build as extensive as this is in most cases the part that induces someone to pull one's hair out, but rest assured a great deal of time and energy was taken to get everything sorted and make this Defender capable of daily driver status. This Rover is well documented with extensive records, and wear items are all as new (tires, brakes, etc). Rover is also equipped with Bluetooth sound. This us a daily driver located in Santa Barbara, CA.
