The Land Rover 2A is a clear descendant of the Series 2 designed by The Rover Car Company as the successor to The Series 1 which commenced production in 1948.
One of the most distinct exterior changes is the adoption of the curved waste line to accommodate the vehicle's wider track.
Underneath the vehicle has a purpose built 4 Cylinder engine with a common block for both petrol and diesel variants.
This waste line was carried through until Land Rover ceased production in 2015 and is still present in the contemporary Defender.
Externally a Series 2 has a flat vallance which is different to the curved vallance used by the 2A + a myriad of other evolutionary changes.
When Rover ceased production of the P4 Car this left them with an unused surplus of 6 cylinder engines which were fitted to Series 2A LWB and Station Wagon models for both home and export markets.
Hi my name is Andy and I am a newly rebuilt and restored Series 2A 109" 6 cylinder Land Rover.
I was first made in a factory in Solihull, Birmingham, England in 1969.
I had a hard life and worked very long hours for many years and eventually fell into disrepair.
One day some men came and took me away to Scotland where, where I was taken completely to bits. I got a new chassis, and my engine was taken to bits and re-machined. All my body parts and galvanised components were taken away and re-galvanised.
I don't remember much about it, it was like I had a very long sleep, and the one day I woke up and realised I was being put back together again with lots of new nuts and bolts and hundred of shiny new rivets.
Now I look like I did when I first rolled off the factory line 52 year ago.
I belong to Mr Hugh and my Doctor when I was being operated on was Mr Graham who put me back together again with great precision and attention to detail.
I am running in at the moment and can only go about 50 MPH.
My favourite drink is petrol and I drink a lot of it particularly when I am thirsty and working hard going up hills.
Mr Hugh has told me that he plans to take me on lots of adventures which, I look forward to sharing with you.
At the moment I am holiday down at St Abbs in Berwickshire, Scotland, which is very beautiful and has lots of boats, and people and seabirds.
I might even get some work on films and on the telly. I imagine that happening to me after all this years.
I feel like I am the luckiest Land Rover in the world.
The first time I went out, I got very hot and I lost a lot of oil as my main crankshaft oil seal failed, however Mr Hugh took me back and got me fixed, so I am all right now and looking forward to all my adventures to come.

This hike began at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended at North Lake. According to a more accurate account than I can generate we hiked 55 miles, gained 8,730 feet and lost 9,200 feet elevation. This area, part in Kings Canyon National Park and part in the John Muir Wilderness is about 20 miles southwest from Bishop, California.
Here is a brief summary of our route: South Lake Trailhead - Bishop Pass - Dusy Basin - LeConte Canyon - Muir Pass - Evolution Valley - Puite Creek Canyon - Humphrey's Basin - Piute Pass - North Lake Trailhead. We passed more than a dozen lakes some of which I will mention when I upload photos.

Evolution Lake, John Muir Wilderness, Kings Canyon National Park, California.
This image is part of my Sequoia and Kings Canyon set.
Evolution Basin is one of the Sierra Nevada's crown jewels. From the end of Evolution Lake to Muir Pass are wonders to behold. Pristine lakes, bubbling streams and creeks, spectacular wildflowers, majestic and sheer granite landforms, this area has them all.
Here, stands of Mountain Heather and Paintbrush blossom by a small stream which flows directly into Evolution Lake and the John Muir Trail wends its way along the granite outcrops which surround the lake. All days on this planet are special but this particular day was a day to remember for its glorious and awe-inspiring beauty.
This image was made in 2008 on the third day of a five-day backpack from South Lake to North Lake. It is a single image made with a Nikon D40 and Nikkor 18-200mm.
