Land Rover Series IIA Ambulance 1969

The 1969 Land Rover Series IIA Ambulance is an impressive piece of history on wheels. The Series IIA, produced between 1961 and 1971, is known as one of the most rugged and versatile Land Rovers ever built. This generation built on the success of the Series II, with subtle technical improvements and a solid reputation for off-road performance. The ambulance variant in particular, such as this example, was widely used by military and aid organizations, including the British and Dutch armies and the Red Cross, because of its reliability and adaptability.

This particular example has been in the Netherlands since 1994 and features an original ambulance body, recognizable by the spacious rear end that was intended for transporting wounded and medical personnel. The olive green paint reinforces the suspicion that this Land Rover actually did military service. Its utilitarian appearance and history make it not only an interesting classic for collectors, but also a solid base for creative projects.

Under the hood is a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine, mated to a manual transmission. This powertrain is known for its simplicity and reliability, features that were essential in military applications. Although the Land Rover is currently in used condition, the engine still starts and runs. This gives potential buyers a solid foundation to further improve or modify the vehicle to their liking.

The spacious body and robust engineering make this Series IIA ideally suited for a variety of purposes. Whether it's a complete restoration to original specifications, a conversion into an overland camper for adventure travel, or even a creative transformation into a rugged food truck, the possibilities are endless. The combination of character, history and functionality ensures that this vehicle has great potential for a variety of uses.
