GPH 373K – 1971 Land Rover Series 2A – Rare Searle Safari
Tax Free
Most Land Rover enthusiasts will have heard the name “Searle Carawagon” – a 109″ camper with its distinctive “pop up” roof.
Lesser known is the “Searle Safari” – which is based on an 88″ Short Wheel Base. It did not have the pop up roof – but front seats that folded into a double bed, partial bulkhead removal (behind front seats) and a full roof rack were standard features.
Included in the “optional extras” – was a pull out tent for the rear.
This particular example has been the subject of a previous 3 year restoration and was purchased by the previous owner in 2006 and exported to Ireland.
The Land Rover has recently returned to England and is registered with Swansea on it’s original number plate.
The restoration included a Galvanised chassis, refurbished bulkhead, rebuilt engine and full respray.
