I have a IIa I am trying to sell but I am having trouble with generating interest.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have it listed on ClassicCars.com.
I note that it was in the British Military for 40+ years and because of that only has 29k miles, all documented with the provenance.
I note the engine size, 390, V8
I had it completely restored.
It was an ambulance in the military so it had to be repainted when it got to the US. I had it repainted again, to be redundant, so it would match the original color.
I had my mechanic keep it for a year testing everything and fixing everything.

Any suggestions, please?

 

It has a big block Ford v8 in it? Pics or a link?

 

I am not a car guy. I was quoting the ad that was used to sell the vehicle. I didn't change the engine. The seller that imported it noted that it had: Engine Size390 6.3 liter V8

I honestly have no idea how to tell the size of an engine. I just love the trucks and want to buy a right side drive while helping someone get into this dream vehicle.

Although, now that I think about it. I have a 390 in my 75 F100 and the LR engine is much smaller.

 

Take a couple of photos of the engine and post them here. I highly doubt that the British military converted it to a Ford V8. Also, your mechanic who drove it for a year absolutely knows what engine it has.
In my view, for the vast majority of people interested in buying a classic Land Rover, a non original engine will hugely devalue the vehicle.

 

Perhaps the British military installed a 3.9 litre Land Rover V8?

 

I'm starting to believe this is the 2.25L petrol i4.

 

Yes, that’s a 2.2 litre petrol 4 cylinder. I’m not sure what the “i” is in your description (before the “4”). i to me makes me think “injected”. Your engine is carbureted.

 

I presumed the "I" stood for inline.
But, again, I know nothing, I'm just trying to learn.
That is the description that popped up when looking for the available engines for the IIa.

 

In line is probably correct then.

 

I does stand for in-line and I don’t know how you would mistake that for a big block ford v8 non-car guy or not. You have a link to the for sale listing?
