1966 and imported from Spain but has recently resided in
Arizona.Land Rover Santana were manufacture under license by the
Metalurgica de Santa Ana company in Linares Spain from 1958 to
1990. The truck's white over sand paint scheme is in good, original
condition with some minor flaws present. The bodywork is straight
and solid, its cargo area, with a pair of jump seats, is in similar
condition, the truck's white bumpers are original and its engine
bay is tidy. There's even a jerry can in the rear. Rolling on
almost new Lassa VSS OK-144 mud tires, size 7.50-16 and steel
wheels painted white, the rolling stock is in overall very good
order. There is a full-size spare tire with white steel wheel in
the cargo area, along with a fire extinguisher. Under the hood is a
2.25L four-cylinder diesel engine, mated to a four-speed manual
transmission. Many mechanical repairs to the truck have already
been made. The truck's driveshaft and shock absorbers were replaced
two years ago; it has a new fuel tank and new brakes lines as
reported by the previous owner. Inside, the interior is in good,
original order. The brown seats are in overall good shape but there
are minor blemishes on the passenger side. The floormats mirror the
condition of the seats. The white headliner provides good contrast
to the seat color. The body-colored instrument panel features
center-mounted gauges and full instrumentation but the temp gauge
is inoperable and the speedometer fluctuates. The inner door liner
and dash are in that same good, original condition. Santana Motor
S.A. was a Spanish car manufacturer based in Linares, in the
province of Ja�n, Spain. The company was founded as "Metal�rgica de
Santa Ana, SA" and originally manufactured agricultural equipment.
The company was set up with a start-up of just 3 million pesetas,
following a drive by the Spanish government in 1954 who were
offering start-up incentives to local businesses to encourage
development in the Andaluc�a region of southern Spain. The company
decided to expand beyond its original products line and entered
into talks with the Rover car company in 1956 in an attempt to get
a licensing agreement to build Land Rover series models in their
factory, in a similar way to the Minerva company in Belgium, Tempo
in Germany and Morattab company in Iran, all built series Land
Rovers under license. An agreement was reached in 1956 and
production began in 1958 it was licensed to build Land Rover
models. The Santana Motor company-built series Land Rovers under
license in CKD form (Complete Knocked Down kits); essentially parts
were shipped over from the Land Rover factory in Solihull and the
Land Rovers were built up from this 'kit' at the Santana factory in
Spain. The Series II and the Series IIA are very difficult to
distinguish. There were some minor cosmetic changes. Body
configurations available from the factory ranged from
short-wheelbase soft-top to the top-of-the-line five-door station
wagon. A 2.25-litre Diesel was added to the engine line. Theseries
IIAis considered by many the hardiest series model constructed. It
is quite possibly also the type of classic Land Rover that features
strongly in the general public's perception of the Land Rover, from
its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries
set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such asBorn Free. In February
1968, just a few months afterits manufacturerhad been subsumed,
under government pressure, into theLeyland Motor Corporation, the
Land Rover celebrated its 20th birthday, with total production to
date just short of 600,000, of which more than 70 percent had been
exported. Certainly, it was while the series IIA was in production
that sales of utility Land Rovers reached their peak, in 1969-70,
when sales of over 60,000 Land Rovers a year were recorded. As well
as record sales, the Land Rover dominated many world markets-in
Australia in the 1960s Land Rover held 90 percent of the 4�4
market. This figure was repeated in many countries in Africa and
the Middle East. Competition to this Land Rover in 1966 included
Ford's Bronco, Jeep's CJ-5, International's Scout 800, Nissan's
Patrol and Toyota's Land Cruiser. Documentation includes a Land
Rover Series II-IIA Repair and Operations Manual. VIN: E50505055
