Spotted: Land Rover Series IIA 88

I spotted this 1971 Land Rover Series IIA 88 Utility on ebay yesterday. The seller states that it was treated to a $50k, frame-off restoration in 2000 at the British Northwest Land Rover Company, and has taken four Best in Class awards since that time. Better-than-new upgrades include dual gas tanks, leather seats, stainless steel exhaust, and gearing to allow 70-mph highway cruising.

This classic, soft-top Land Rover was finished in marine blue and features a 2.25-liter, four-cylinder, gasoline engine. Total mileage is just over 51,000, with 4,000 having been driven since the restoration. The condition really does look fantastic.

The vehicle is located in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Bidding currently stands at $14,600 with an unmet reserve. There are about eight days left on the auction. More photos below.

Update 5/19/2013: This Land Rover sold for a high bid of $34,250.

Spotted: Land Cruiser BJ70 Diesel

April 24, 2013 //

BJ70_7
I spotted this rare, Land Cruiser BJ70 on the Expo forums the other day. It’s listed as having a turbocharged, 2.4-liter diesel and the photos show a manual transmission. It looks to be in great shape. The seller doesn’t list the build year or the mileage but does mention that it was legally imported from Japan in 2005. Other features that can be gleaned from the photos: snorkel, ARB bumper, winch, over-sized tires, roof rack and brush deflectors.

The word on the Expo forum is that this seller has sold other 70-series on occasion and so trading in rare Land Cruisers may be a business or hobby for him.

The asking price is $18,500 and the vehicle is located in Atlanta, GA. To contact the seller find his phone number on the Craigslist ad. More photos after the jump.

For more research on the 70-series Land Cruiser, check out the Toyota Vehicle Heritage site, Wikipedia, or this page.
