1989 Land Rover Santana 2500 - Walkaround

A brief walk around out 1989 Land Rover Santana 2500. Custom built from a rust free, low mileage, and mechanically perfect example, it is beautiful, needs nothing, and is ready for daily use on road or trail.

How much did this one sell for? Or what was it offered at?

Nice video, can tou tell me please what soft top kit did you use on your santana?? A defender or series 3???

[@paulmisencik]

Series. The Santana 2500 is built on an evolved Series III frame, and is therefore shorter than the Defender 90. Soft tops and roof racks and such need to come from a Series truck, not a Defender.

@@paulmisencik thank you so much for the info, i really appreciated it, almost bought the defender top for my Santana 2500dc

@@greatvidsviewsfreedom7316 No worries! Don't forget about the doors. When you take the hard top off, the doors will be sticking up in the breeze. The front doors you might be able to live with, but the rear door will have to be removed along with the hard top. And if you want a rear door, you'll need to buy the half-height rear door for a Series III 88, along with the appropriate hinges.
This great truck in the video also has the half-height front doors. So if you really want to go from a full hard top to a full soft top, that you can drive "fully open," you need to get three new doors and paint them to match.

Just as a curiosity did you change the fenders to the series?? Since the original 2500 dc has the turn signals on the bottom instead of the sides. Beautiful Santana indeed.
