This 1959 Land Rover 88 Series II is finished in blue over black, and its gasoline-fueled 2.25-liter inline-four is paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Features include a brown soft top and side panels, 16″ steel wheels, a spare mounted to the hood, off-roading lights, a heater, and seating for seven. The seller’s uncle acquired the truck out of South Carolina in 2016, and service since that time is said to have included rebuilding the carburetor, replacing the spark plugs as well as engine and gearbox gaskets, and changing the fluids.
The truck is said to have been partially refinished in blue by its previous owner. The brown soft top features integral side and rear panels, and off-roading lights have been added to the front bumper.
Beige-finished 16″ wheels wear Hankook RW11 i-Pike tires, which are said to have been installed under current ownership. A spare is mounted to the hood.
The interior features three seats with black upholstery, with two bench seats on either side of the rear compartment. The floors were refinished by the previous owner and are protected by rubber liners.
A banjo-style steering wheel frames a body-matching dashboard. Instrumentation includes a 70-mph speedometer, a combination gauge, and a Smiths gauge to monitor oil pressure and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles.
