1965 Land Rover Series IIA “MAGIC” – 200TDI | 5-Speed | One-Off Hybrid We call this Land Rover MAGIC, and the name fits. At its core, this is a true 1965 Land Rover Series IIA chassis, but it’s been transformed into something entirely its own. The chassis says Series IIA—the body and presence suggest a blend of Series and Defender styling.

It’s not a Defender, and it’s not a stock Series truck either. It’s something in between. A Laroverenderies. Funky, weird, and somehow weirdly cool. Power comes from a 200TDI diesel engine paired with a 5-speed LT77 manual transmission, giving it modern drivability and a surprisingly refined road feel compared to a traditional Series Land Rover.

Best of all, this Landy is very well sorted mechanically and needs no attention at this time: No leaks No strange noises No odd smells Extremely clean chassis Straight body with only minor imperfections This is a conversation-starter that actually drives well—an unconventional Land Rover built for someone who appreciates creativity, character, and a machine that refuses to fit into a single category. Magical in its own ridiculous way.
