1970 Land Rover Series 2 | Perth

This is a 1970 Land Rover Series 2A, the wider, rounder-bodied development of the British working 4x4. It is known for its barrel-side waistline, upright cab and hard-working simplicity, and the Series IIA appeared in 1960s African-set screen stories such as Born Free and Daktari. This car is finished in Cream with a black interior, a plain pairing that suits its upright lines. It seats six, so a small group can travel together, and its diesel engine of 2495cc gives it a steady, unhurried gait. The condition is good, and its flat panels and square stance give a camera plenty to work with. In front of a camera it suits 1970s-set film and television, where the upright body sits comfortably in rural or town locations. The pale Cream stands out cleanly against green fields or stone, which helps photography and fashion and editorial shoots, and its presence gives events a distinctive arrival. Weddings and personal days out suit its relaxed, countrified look. The car is based in Perth.
