Renowned as one of the world's top off-road vehicles, Land Rover boasts a distinguished history dating back to 1948, beginning with the introduction of the original Land Rover Series I. Its styling is straightforward and unmistakably British, while its off-road capabilities are unmatched, living up to the slogan, "the best four by four by far."
To expand into the South American market, Land Rover formed a partnership with Santana Motors in the late 1950s, supplying complete knock-down kits. These kits, manufactured in England, were then assembled by Santana in South America. By the 1970s, Santana began designing its own parts for the Series III models, making parts compatibility more challenging. However, the Series II vehicles assembled in the 1960s remained true to Land Rover’s original design, so parts availability for these models is still excellent an entirely interchangeable with Solihull built vehicles.
This 1967 Land Rover Santana Series IIa has just undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration. The aluminum body is exceptionally straight, with paint of daily-driver quality. The bulkhead, frame, and other areas prone to rust are completely solid, with no known corrosion issues. Components…

The bulkhead, frame, and other areas prone to rust are completely solid, with no known corrosion issues. Components like light lenses, rubber seals, and fittings have been restored or replaced to appear as new. A galvanized stick set supports the new sand-colored canvas soft top.
The interior is minimalist yet restored to the same meticulous standard as the exterior, with new seat upholstery, and fully functioning gauges, switches, and lights. Under the hood lies the original 2.25-liter Land Rover four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox featuring overdrive. The vehicle starts, runs, and drives just as a classic Land Rover should.

The Land Rover Series range, originating in 1948, evolved into the Defender model, officially launched in 1983 and concluding its continuous run in January 2016 after an impressive 67-year history. Initially inspired by the US-built Willys Jeep post-World War II, Land Rovers gained widespread longevity, with a claim in 1992 that 70% of all vehicles ever manufactured were still in use. Throughout its production span, the Defender and Series ranges maintained a distinctive international presence, being exported, manufactured, and produced under license by various companies in diverse markets. These markets included Australia, Southern and North Africa, Turkey, Brazil, Pakistan, Malaysia, and more.
In a strategic move to tap into the US market, Land Rover entered the North American scene in 1993, following the successful introduction of the Range Rover brand in 1987. This move aimed to provide a sophisticated alternative to the Jeep Wrangler, catering to adventurous buyers. However, economic challenges led Land Rover to withdraw from the North American and Canadian markets in 1997. The Defenders offered in the US during the 90s underwent significant modifications compared to those destined for Land Rover’s other export markets. Subsequent amendments to federal safety regulations ultimately compelled Land Rover to entirely remove the Defender from the US market in 1997. Consequently, the company redirected its focus towards the production of upmarket Discovery and Range Rover models, built from the ground up.
