Sad sale of my series 2a, although MOT'd and on the road the engine is consuming some oil and isn't so healthy so probably time for a rebore and rebuild. It has a later starter and modified oil bath air filter for the snorkel but I have the originals that will be included in the sale. (I also have a later 5 bearing diesel engine that is included in the sale too). Most of the panels have marks and damage and paint most recently has been touched up by roller and brush, just to make it green again bulkhead and front panel in good condition. The chassis was very heavily patched prior to me buying it 8 years ago, it’s had a few patches since and probably needs replacing at some point although I've said that for the last 8 years.

Price: £1400If you want both then I have a few new spares parts which I will throw in and other spares including panels (front panel/doors/bonnets/tail gate) as that will be both my series away
