The New Zealand Army bought a small batch of Series IIA Land Rovers in 1965 and the following two years, in addition to the Series II vehicles it had taken in the early 1960s. The Series IIA in 1965 was the hardy, almost unchanged Land Rover of the period, available as a short-wheelbase soft top, as a long-wheelbase truck or station wagon, with a 2.25-litre diesel as well as the 2.25-litre petrol engine, while the Forward Control variant carried a payload of 1.5 long tons.
