1966 Land Rover Series 2 SWB review from Australia and New Zealand
"Outstanding value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery failure, due to age of battery.
Water pump has been replaced 3 times.
Seats have a little wear on corners.
Some rust in bulkhead.
General comments?
I would put these vehicles in front of any other for off road performance.
Fuel consumption is outstanding due to fitting a webber.
Overdrive also is a must for on road use.
