Random # 335: 1968 Series 2/A Land Rover SWB.

  Let's be honest:  1960s' Landies never rolled off the production line with paint as glossy and perfect as it is on this example!  Unless it was a special build for the Queen, that is ...    The entire vehicle's presentation - its galvanised bumpers, windscreen frame, spare tyre holder and other external trim, lights, glass, mirrors, wheels, mud flaps, interior and canvas canopy - were all absolutely pristine.  It really was that perfect!   It was nicely optioned up, too.  The capstan winch and Thomas-style free-heeling hubs are both functional and era correct.
