1964 Land Rover Series iia

Location: Los Angeles, California

Why It's Curated: This 1964 Land Rover Series IIA is for sale in Los Angeles, CA. The odometer shows 42,580 miles, unverified -- not uncommon for a vehicle of this age and international history. What makes this example notable is the combination of period-correct character and thoughtful mechanical upgrades that improve usability without erasing its identity. The transmission has been fitted with a Roamerdrive overdrive unit, a well-regarded addition among Series Land Rover owners that meaningfully reduces highway RPM and extends the drivetrain's working life. Stopping power has been upgraded to four-wheel Forbyn Brothers disc brakes -- a significant safety improvement over the original drum setup. The interior features a front-facing rear bench that folds and removes entirely, preserving the Series IIA's utilitarian flexibility. The red/orange vinyl interior adds a period-appropriate pop against the white exterior. The 2.25-liter inline-four and four-speed manual remain stock, and a recent oil change was completed in May. Normal cosmetic wear is present, consistent with honest, used examples of this era. This Series IIA suits a buyer who wants a mechanically sorted, characterful classic capable of light trail use or weekend driving -- not a trailer queen, but a working Land Rover with sensible upgrades already in place.

Model History: Introduced in 1961 as a refinement of the Series II, the Series IIA represented Land Rover's transitional design between its pioneering predecessor and the modern Series III era. While maintaining the iconic external lines established by the Series II—including the distinctive curved body sides and aluminum panels over a box-section ladder frame—the Series IIA introduced crucial mechanical updates that solidified its reputation as the marque's finest iteration. The standard 2.25-liter four-cylinder petrol engine produced 77 horsepower and powered the ubiquitous 88-inch and 109-inch wheelbase variants, with a new 2.286-liter diesel option available from 1961 and a 2.625-liter inline-six introduced for longer-wheelbase models in 1967. A landmark 1969 refresh relocated the headlights outward to comply with emerging international regulations, marking the final substantial change before the Series III's arrival. The Series IIA dominated global markets throughout its decade-long production run, particularly overseas where Japanese and American competitors had yet to establish meaningful presence.
