In 1958 Rover set off the production of the second series Land Rover, which received more modern look than its predecessor.
Minor aesthetic and mechanical adjustments on the vehicles from this series resulted on the birth of ‘Series II A’ and ‘Series II B’.

The second generation of the Land Rover lasted until 1971, including series 2A and 2B.

Land Rovers II were four-wheel driven and built with 4-speed manual transmissions.
