Step into the rugged charm of yesteryear with this remarkable, recently restored 1968 Land Rover Series II, proudly presented by GR Auto Gallery. This classic vehicle, built in the timeless Bronze Green color, has undergone an extensive Stage 2 restoration process that involved a frame-on approach, preserving the original engine and firewall. The attention to detail in the restoration is evident throughout, ensuring that every aspect of this Series II reflects the commitment to excellence. The body of this Series II has been meticulously restored, with the chassis and shell undergoing full media blasting and receiving two coats of epoxy primer. The roof features a soft top for an authentic touch, and galvanized OEM Land Rover parts, nuts, and bolts ensure durability. The chassis has been reinforced, addressing factory welds and panels, and stainless steel bolts have been used throughout the shell and body. The Bronze Green color extends beyond the exterior, with Kevlar-based bed liner applied to the inside floor and underneath the shell and steps. The outside paint is a single-coat unicolor Sikkens finish, complemented by black parts treated with a pretto treatment. Underneath, the suspension boasts OEM shock absorbers, joints, bearings, and bushings, with 2-inch lifted OEM leaves/springs and sway bars. The steering system features an aftermarket power steering brand, ensuring smooth handling on and off the road. Powering this Series II is a rebuilt Land Rover 2.25 diesel engine with an inline-4 configuration. The engine delivers 62 hp at 4,000 rpm and 103 lbft of torque at 1,800 rpm. The gearbox is a Land Rover Model LT76, a 4-speed with synchro, paired with a transfer case offering H-4H-4L options. Differentials with a 4.7:1 ratio enhance off-road capabilities. Braking is handled by power drum brakes on both the front and rear, each equipped with two pumps. The exhaust system features a lifetime warranty full aluminized exhaust with a 2.5-inch diameter, rubber mounted, and includes a catalytic converter with flex front and rear. Rolling on tubular high-capacity steel wheels (16x5.5 inches), wrapped 265/75r16 tires, this Series II exudes a rugged and authentic presence. The electrical system is upgraded to a 12-volt setup with a 62 amp alternator, complete with modern wiring, relays, and connections.
