In this video I take the viewer through the process of doing a full restoration on a Land Rover Series IIA at North America Overland.

Nice to see the old girl given a top quality restoration. More care taken than when it was made at Solihull all those years ago. Well done fellas.

The work you do on these Land Rovers appears to my eyes to be of a higher standard, a higher quality than any other Land Rover restorer known to me. Thanks for keeping the memory of these old Land Rovers still going strong! Someday, someday! Andy McKane, Manualoa, Molokai, Hawaii.

Nice job! Your customer, you said, is in Montana. I sold Land Rovers in Missoula from 1966 to 1969 for Schubach Motors. When they sold the place and it became Missoula Imports, I then sold Land Rover for them from 1971 (after getting out of the Navy) to about 1 January 1974 when I moved to San Diego. That's one very nice looking restoration!

It's nice to know that these are so valuable in the US now that they're worth renovating. I bought a 1962 Series IIA in 1998 in London for £800 (about US$1200) and used it as a truck for moving building materials around in for a few years. It needed a bit of welding each year on the chassis to get through its annual roadworthiness test. I think I sold it about 5 years later for £1000/$1400. During the 5 years, I never washed it, it just didn't seem right! It was a hoot to run about in. Twenty years ago, it would have been perfectly possible to restore one because all of the parts, including new galvanized chassis were available, but it wouldn't have been economically viable. They were just runabouts that could do some serious off-road stuff, but they weren't quite proper classic cars (with something like 80% of Land Rovers ever made still being on the road, they weren't exactly rare in the UK). Interestingly, the only time I saw a Land Rover in the USA was in Connecticut (in Yalesville), back in 1982.

Best simple mods I did to my petrol 88 inch 1963 2A to make it more road friendly, as opposed to field friendly.... But not for the purist though. SU carb with K & N filter. Large bore stainless exhaust. Range Rover / Discovery 3.54 diffs. LWB twin leading shoe front brakes..... You get far better braking without adding a servo. Overdrive is also a bonus. The extra power from the SU and exhaust powers the higher gearing and the overdrive easily.
