A rather splendid Series IIA short wheel base 2 door pick up Land Rover, AAU 406A at Ruddington, Great Central Railway (North), 26th September 2020. The iconic Land Rover entered production in 1948 with the series IIA version being in production from 1961 – 1971. The Series IIA came in three versions with three engine options. The Series IIA is quite possibly the classic Land Rover that people associate with. It was not only sold in the United Kingdom but 70% of production was sold overseas and it had a substantial market share in many parts of the world in the 1960’s. These worldwide sales meant that many films and television programs of the 1960’s although set in Africa, Asia or the Middle East would often feature Land Rovers. Yearly production for the Series IIA version was around 40 -50,000 manufactured with 1969 and 1970 being the peak years with around 60,000 manufactured each year. In 1976 a Series III Land Rover became the one millionth Land Rover produced. AAU 406A was first registered in September 1963 making it 57 years old.
