The Challenge of Accuracy
While many might view the Series 2 as a simple vehicle, it’s far more complex than it appears. Our client requested an extremely high level of accuracy, so we dedicated a significant amount of time to research. Ensuring that every component was finished in the correct materials and assembled as it would have been in the 1960s required attention to detail at every step.
One standout example of this precision was the use of aviation-style rivets. Some parts were assembled prior to painting, while others were riveted after the paintwork was completed. These kinds of decisions made all the difference in achieving a true-to-original restoration.
A Unique Restoration
The Series 2 Land Rover may seem basic at first glance, but the process of restoring it was far from straightforward. With numerous intricate parts to refurbish and reinstall, it was a challenge that required expertise and patience. From the chassis to the smallest detail, every element was restored with care and precision.
The Final Result
We’re thrilled to say that the project is now complete, and the 1960 Series 2 Land Rover has been brought back to life in all its rugged glory. This restoration reflects not just our commitment to craftsmanship but our respect for the legacy of these iconic vehicles.
At Cartel Works, we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to restore such a timeless machine to the highest level.
