1963 Land Rover SIIA Pickup.

The Series IIA is considered by many the most hardy 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, due to its many appearances in popular films and television shows set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such as Born Free. In February 1968, just a few months after its manufacturer had been consumed, under government pressure, into the Leyland Motor Corporation, the Land Rover celebrated its twentieth birthday, with total production to date just short of 600,000, of which more than 70% had been exported.
