PROJECT 88 Build, 017. Simply our finest build to date.

Series Land Rover SWB 88” In Deep Bronze Green. The basis for build 017 was a meticulously restored 1958 Series 2. This is a brand new build only completing running in miles since. There is the option of final configuration of seats and audio etc.

ABOUT THE MODEL:

This is a first year of production model, sought after and rare. Many of the components were carried over from a series 1 vehicle making the most collectible series 2/2a model available.

THE RESTORATION:

The was restored back to factory correct standard and the attention to detail is sublime. This attention to detail allows the next owner to maintain the Project 88 look or revert back to original if so desired.

Key highlights to the restoration include:

This car still has the original chassis. It was dipped, repaired and powder-coated meaning this vehicle is still eligible to be exported.

New Single skin bulkhead custom fabricated. Fabricated to the same specification as original but single not dual skin prevents erosion and removes ‘Achilles heel’ of Series Bulkheads.

Bulkhead was coated with zinc prior to painting to ensure longevity.

New panels across the floor and body, replaced using the highest quality parts possible (this is true for the whole build)

The body was fully dry built replacing all galvanized cappings ensuring the best possible fit and shut gaps throughout. You will notice how well all panels line up and how straight the sides of the vehicle is.

Professionally painted in the correct Deep Bronze green coach enamel. Other items had been painted in gloss black.

Wiring loom was replaced with a supplied loom from Autosparks.
