HKO | 1959 Series II

With the weekend approaching, it seemed the right time to share HKO: an open-topped Series II built for warm-weather driving and proper use.

HKO is a 1959 Series II 88", sourced through a regular supplier and sitting in the yard at Windsor Classics when her future owner spotted her while visiting the workshop. The connection was immediate. HKO is also the airport code for Hong Kong, where he lives and works.

The aim was to build a short wheelbase Series II with open-top character, upgraded drivability and enough comfort to take passengers along for the ride.

The work included a full nut and bolt rebuild, full engine, gearbox and differential rebuilds, a new wiring loom, paintwork in the original Welsh Grey, power steering, disc brakes all round, an overdrive gearbox, bespoke diamond-stitched black Nappa leather seating and the retention and restoration of the original Bakelite steering wheel.

A proper weekend Land Rover.

Our first Santana build is coming along in the workshop.

Still very much in progress, but already starting to show the shape of what’s to come: fresh panels, rebuilt mechanicals and the careful detail work that sits behind a finished vehicle.

More from this one soon.

We’ll share more soon, but it’s fantastic to see another part of the story taking shape.

Windsor Classics at Le Mans Classic.

We’re on Stand 546 this week, with a Series Land Rover on display and the team on hand throughout the event.

Le Mans Classic brings together historic motorsport, collectors, specialists and enthusiasts from across the classic car world, so it’s a fitting place to share what Windsor Classics does.

If you’re attending, do come and say hello.

Has your Land Rover been parked up for a few years?

Windsor Classics offers recommissioning, from a simple get-it-going service through to more extensive work after inspection.

We can arrange collection, recommissioning and delivery back to you across the South of England.

Once inspected, we can also provide an appraisal report and create a prioritised list of jobs, so you can decide what needs doing first and what can follow later.

A closer look at our first camper build.

Based on a Land Rover 110 V8, this project has been shaped around proper use: long-distance travel, practical living space and the character of the original vehicle.

Before restoration. After restoration.

This Land Rover arrived showing years of age, wear and character.

The finished vehicle shows the visible transformation, but the real work sits in everything between the two: structure, mechanical preparation, bodywork, detail and final setup.

A clear before and after, with a lot of careful work in the middle.
