Barn finds - We are always amazed when we realise that there are still some Land Rovers sat in darkness waiting to be "found". This 1963 Series IIA is in excellent unspoilt condition (40,000 miles !), and with original "Elephant Hide" interior - Pictured below as it emerges into the "light of day" for the first time in 24 years !

. . . and the icing on the cake - one of the nicest 2 door Range Rovers we have ever had the pleasure of owning. If you like the look and character of the 2 door, but prefer the performance, comfort and economy of the 3.5 efi, the auto gearbox, and fancy the handling of the CSK - then this one might be for you !
A great useable Classic Range Rover.

Although we travel the length and breadth of the country to buy Land Rovers, it makes a nice change when a clean Land Rover drives in and the owner is looking to sell.

Although we travel all over the country to buy Land Rovers, it is nice when we find something unusual on our doorstep so to speak. Below is a very rare factory V8 90 County Station wagon - 1 owner and only 40,000 miles. Purchased from Rotherham and bought to restore back to its former glory - having been stood unused for many years.
