1969 Land Rover LR4 For a build like this, two donor vehicles were needed, the Classic (1969 Land Rover Series IIA) and the Modern (2010 Land Rover LR4). Purchased the Series IIA from a diplomat in DC who brought the vehicle back from South Africa. The LR4 is really the heart of the project. Changed all the fluids, belts, and hoses, installed new CV axles, new plugs, and air filters, and installed a new exhaust system. (Wheels/tires, and lights also new) Kept as much of the functionality offered in the LR4 as we could. The dash and steering wheel functions, four wheel drive, seating and drivability of the vehicle are all LR4. Reworked some of the interior to work in the new body and have created trim panels to finish off a clean comfortable look and feel. Documented the build, so you can see what went into the integration of these two Land Rovers. It wasn�t a matter of just taking off the LR4 body and putting the Series IIA body on the LR4 chassis. After a few days of measurement and planning, started out by cutting away the parts of the LR4 that were not going to be needed. What remained was the complete Chassis including the frame, suspension, and running gear. On the inside we kept the floor pan, firewall, dash, steering and pedal assembly, center console, and all thee rows of seats and the rear Heat and AC system. Before the fit of the Series IIA body was started the differences in the two wheelbases needed to be addressed. The LR4 is 23� longer and 02� wider then the Series IIA was. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or Call
