AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:
Unique opportunity to acquire a Land Rover Santana 2A with a fascinating history. This unit began its official service life at Gran Canaria Airport (Canary Islands). After being awarded in a public auction to a private buyer, it was exported to the Iberian Peninsula, where it was purchased by its current owner to undergo a restoration process preserving the appearance of exterior wear. As a historical note about the brand, the models manufactured by Metalúrgica de Santa Ana (Santana) in Linares, Spain, under license from Land Rover, earned a legendary reputation for robustness, eventually being modified specifically for the Spanish market. The Series 2A is regarded by enthusiasts as one of the toughest models ever built, and the pickup configuration with the original headlights placed in the central grille (a feature of early Series 2As before regulations required moving them to the fenders) makes it a highly coveted vintage-tinged collectible. While not a 100-point aesthetic restoration, it represents a good opportunity to acquire this Land Rover with its distinctive pickup bodywork.

BODYWORK AND PAINT:
Body and chassis with the chassis fully repaired, treated, and painted. The body was dismantled and painted in the iconic Marine Blue, deliberately maintaining an aged patina look that gives it a used, vintage character. Additionally, all exterior and interior metal profiles have been re-galvanized. It features the original single-cab roof with the original curved glass, painted Limestone on the roof area.

MECHANICS:
Engine rebuilt from scratch. The gearbox has been inspected and a new clutch installed. Currently, the entire mechanical package operates with total smoothness and precision. The braking system is completely new and the electrical installation is also new, having been imported directly from the United Kingdom (UK).

INTERIOR:
The interior benefits from the completely new electrical installation and newly galvanised interior metal profiles. It retains the new gauges and the original grille with its characteristic interior headlights perfectly preserved.

DOCUMENTATION:
Complete Spanish documentation. This vehicle is formally registered to accommodate up to 9 seats. The car is located in Madrid, Spain, with the original Gran Canaria license plate.

PICKUP/DISPATCH:
For buyers outside Spain, the seller can offer help and assistance with arranging transportation and handling the necessary export documentation.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
